More and more people are getting into detox diet
progams nowadays. Other than helping to achieve in weight loss, detox diets
are known to also aid in the removal of toxins from the body. If you are
interested in getting into one but have no idea which one to adopt, here is
a breakdown of some of the popular detox diet programs that are available:
Mono Fruit Detox Diet
A detox diet that involves eating only one type of fruit is called a mono
fruit detox diet. If you have not done any form of cleansing before, then
this is a good program to consider starting with. The use of only one fruit
reduces the amount of work needed by your body for digestion. This aids your
body pH to become more stable and the sugar levels in your bloodstream less
volatile.
The fruit that is chosen may be apples, grapes or just about any fruit. The
fruit supplies organic water that bathes the body cells allowing them to
cleanse themselves. It is easier for organic water to enter and exit the
cells, facilitating the inward flow of nourishment and the outward flow of
waste materials.
Master Cleanse Detox Diet
The Master Cleanse detox diet is one that involves the use of maple syrup,
lemon juice, and cayenne pepper mixed in water. Many celebrities such as
Beyonce, swear by it. It is considered to be a gentler detox diet than a
fast by water alone. Hence, it does not produce the healing crisis usually
associated with water fasts. There is no need to worry about having to
suffer the full effects of cleansing all of a sudden. You easily absorb the
maple syrup, which is stored and converted to energy slowly. In most cases,
you can still carry on your usual activities.
Raw Food Detox Diet
Raw food detox diet means a diet that comprises of uncooked food. Its fans
say that this form of diet is the most natural way of eating. You no longer
consume processed foods, preservatives and additives, and also avoid
nutrient degradation by cooking. Eating foods in raw form preserves
constituents, such as vitamins, fibre, organic forms of essential minerals,
and chlorophyll, that benefit and strengthen your immune system.
Raw foods come with digestive enzymes undamaged by heat, thus enzyme
production in the body can be reserved for metabolic processes. Raw foods
support favourable potassium-to-sodium ratios that optimise cell functioning
and pH balance, which are desired states when you adopt a detox diet.
Juice Fast Detox Diet
The juice fast detox diet involves consuming fresh juices from fruits and/or
vegetables for a period of time. The juices supplies fresh enzymes that
promote the cleansing process. Similar to the above mentioned detox diets,
juice fasts are not as harsh as water only fasts.
Juice fasts also result in additional benefits, with higher nutritional
support of of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Juices support the
rejuvenating process of the body. The body assimilates the juices directly,
without further producing digestive enzymes.
Most juices have alkalinising properties. Hence, these help you to
neutralise the toxic, often acidic, condition of your body. Your body tends
to be toxic if you ingest too much red meats, processed foods or drink
polluted water. The alkaline juices help to restore the acid-alkaline
balance needed for the smooth functioning of your internal body.
