You feel tired and you lack energy??? Your skin is dry?! Want to feel like a million bucks by Monday?? Try this 48 Hour Detox plan and you won’t regret it!
First of all we need to define the term “detoxification” since this is one of the most misunderstood and misused terms in nutrition. Detox is a period of time during which we give our body system a rest, or a time out from the daily assault on our body cells by unhealthy foods and environmental toxins. This time-out can lasts from a day to a month.
If your body is full of toxins you are more likely to get sick, and what your body needs is to get clean from all the toxins. Living in the modern world, our bodies can get to feeling pretty grubby inside. Between the sugars, refined flours, caffeine, alcohol, dairy, chemical food additives, pesticides, and environmental pollutants we encounter, our cells are exposed to myriad toxins and inflammation triggers. The stress of modern life also places a tremendous burden on the organs of elimination, leaving pockets of waste in the colon, and stressing the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system.
The detoxification program is preferred to be made twice a year for ten days, but if you don’t have that much time, we prefer a weekend detoxification, that is useful, and if done a couple of times a year, the results will be excellent.
