Detoxing is a subject of huge importance to us. Performing regular body cleanses and detoxes are core principles on health and healing. The idea of cleaning yourself out as a way of kick-starting healthier habits may be appealing, especially if you’ve been eating poorly, drinking too much alcohol, or otherwise treating your body less than optimally.

The focus of a detox is to clean up the gut first, and follow with cleaning out the storage bins (stored fat), the organs, the blood and the lymph. Cleaning out the gut involves moving out debris while giving the body maximum nutrition that does not require the digestive system to do a lot of work.

Cut down the sugar, trans fat, saturated fat and caffeine and replace these with fresh fruits and vegetables. Smoothies, made with vegetables and high quality nutritional powders are an excellent means to flood the body with nutrients while allowing the digestive tract to rest. Prebiotic foods help the good bacteria in the gut to thrive while probiotics also help increase their numbers.

A detox diet would cause you to lose weight in the short term, but a healthier way to look at it would be to establish long-term eating habits, and rid yourself of unhealthy habits.

When you detox the body you free up your organs to function the way they should. This helps to give your immune system a boost since you’ll be able to absorb nutrients better, including Vitamin C. Many of the herbs you take while on a detox will help the lymphatic system, which plays a big role in keeping you healthy.

A detox program also improves the skin. It helps it clearing out acne. You can expect clearer, smoother skin at the end of your detox plan.
