How do you do a cleansing or detox for your body?

Answer 1

Fasting or
eating just one kind of low sugar fruit the whole day.

Answer 2

The best way is not to do anything rapid or desperate as you will only go back to the junk foods if you attempt to starve yourself!

You can detox just by simply drinking a lot more water as this will flush out excessive toxins from your body. Introduce some green stuff into your diet like apples as they are natural anti-oxidants and broccolli.

Eat fibre such as wholemeal bread, bananas, green leafy vegetables, whole-bran cereals. These are the main food groups that will remove toxins from your body and will help you toilet a lot more (this is how toxins are removed more effectively by eating fibre).

Getting physical excercise 20 minutes a day to get your bowels moving. Starvation and all other forms of detoxing are extreme and don't work. Doing it naturally by introducing fibre to your diet and drinking plenty of water and excercise will and a lot better than any pills or special products.

If you want to take something to cleanse your liver out whilst eating more healthily, I would recommend milk thistle tablets that are a natural herbal remedy and does work, but you only need to take between two capsules a day for a few weeks. These are effective but only if you eat fiberous foods and drink plenty of water (six glasses per day).

Other than this, just try and cut down as much as possible on things with salt and sugar - these are the main culprits that cause toxin build-up and are found in all junk foods, ready made meals and sweets,crisps, pop and chocolate. Eat these in moderation and keep these types of food as a treats.

Hope have been of some help to you, but honestly, the best and effective way to rid toxins is water,fibre,excercise and cut out all sugar and salt. You will also lose weight too if you are overweight.

Answer 3

Detox, short for detoxification, in general is the removal of toxic substances from the body. It is one of the functions of the liver and kidneys, but can also be achieved artificially by techniques such as dialysis and (in a very limited number of cases) chelation therapy.

Other less mainstream methods for eliminating toxic substances from the body include the modification of the diet and addition of certain herbs and rituals such as colonic irrigation, juice fasting and sweat lodges. All these methods claim to assist the body's natural detoxification process.

Specific meanings of detoxification or detox:

A form of drug rehabilitation, used to treat alcoholism or other drug addiction. The process involves abstinence to clear the drug from the body, accompanied by social and environmental support during the associated physiological and psychological changes. A non-drug method for detox from drugs or alcohol is acupuncture detoxification.
A class of diets whose underlying assumption is that the body accumulates toxins that must be purged, especially after unhealthy periods such as over-eating during festivals. Toxins, in this case, refer to toxic substances - often of undefined nature - from foods, the environment and the body's own wastes. "Detox diet" is a common phrase, as is "I'm on a detox". See detox diet.
Forms of complementary medicine that claim to remove such toxins from the body: for instance, by herbal, electrical or electromagnetic treatments. As the definition of toxins in this and the previous context has little scientific basis, the validity of such techniques is questionable. There is no evidence for such accumulation; the liver and kidneys automatically detoxify and excrete many toxic materials, including metabolic wastes. Under this theory if toxins are too rapidly released without being safely eliminated (such as burning fat that stores toxins) they can pollute the body causing malaise.
A process by which a substance is made less toxic.
A marketing term started in 2004 by Evian to sell their bottled water. Marketing catchlines include: "detox with evian," "evian.detox," "evian - your natural detox," and "drink at least 1.5L of evian every day to help cleanse your system inside out." The marketing campaign has included a five-step process aimed at personal health. Although the first step advocates drinking any kind of water, they claim: "Evian is especially good because it’s pure waters are filtered through the mineral-rich Alpine region." There is not a consensus among health experts that Evian is more healthy than any other type of processed potable water.
