Do You Need A Detox?

Body systems that were once capable of cleaning out unwanted substances are now over loaded to the point where toxic material remains inside our tissues. Our bodies try to protect us from dangerous substances by setting it aside, surrounding it with mucous and fat so that it will not cause an imbalance or trigger an immune response (some people carry up to 15 extra pounds of mucous that harbors this waste).

Detoxification through special cleansing processes is the best way to assist your body’s natural self-cleaning system. It is especially important for immune-compromised diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes and chronic fatigue. However, even if your diet is good, a spring cleanse can revitalize your system and rid your body of harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites. Here are some simple detox tips to get you started...

4 Simple Detox Tips

---

1. Drink More Water

Too often we misinterpret thirst for hunger. Our signal for thirst may cause us to eat as we mistake it for hunger pains. Reach for water first and make sure you are well hydrated before eating any meal throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Where possible make sure to drink your water at least 30 minutes before eating as this will allow time for the water to properly penetrate the cells of your body and hydrate your stomach lining in preparation for proper digestion. I like to add lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to my water or green it up with barley grass powder, wheatgrass powder, spirulina or chlorella.

2. Add A Green Juice To Your Day

Green juices are an amazing way to add life giving and detoxifying plant chlorophyll to your bloodstream. As Jason Vale says, "juicing is the ultimate fast food, it is a 15 minute nutrient express to health". Some of my favorite and simple green juice recipes include:

Green Juice Recipe Ideas:

- Celery, calamansi and singkamas
- Sayote, cucumber, calamansi and singkamas
- Celery, cucumber, any talbos, calamansi and singkamas
- Amaplaya, yacon, calamansi and singkamas

I also like to stir whatever green powders I have laying around the house into my juices to green them up even more! Again try barley grass, wheatgrass, spirulina or chlorella powders.

3. Add More Parsley and Cilantro (Coriander) To Your Diet 

Parsley and cilantro (coriander) are very powerful natural green plant foods for detoxing heavy metals out of your body. Add these amazing herbs to juices, salads, soups and meals.

4. Breathe Deep Into Your Abdomen 

Deep breathing, where you fill your belly and expand your diaphragm downwards, is one of the most powerful exercise you can do to activate your lymph system which helps to detoxify your body. Think of your lymph system as your own personal garbage removal system (which most of us will need in full steam after the holiday season). Practise 10 deep slow breaths counting 4 seconds in, 8 seconds hold and 8 seconds out. You can do this exercize watching the TV, walking the dog, during meditation or whilst practising yoga.

According to the 'Tao of Breathing' up to 70% of our body’s waste products are eliminated via our lungs and the rest through the urine, skin and feces. When the efficiency of our lungs is reduced due to poor breathing less oxygen is available to our cells, it slows down the flow of blood which carries wastes from the kidneys and lungs. Our lymphatic system which fights off viral and bacterial invaders is weakened along with a slower digestive process.

Breathe long slow and deep in a mindful state as often as possible.

Here’s a simple one day meal plan to give you some ideas of how delicious a proper “food-based” cleanse can be…

Breakfast:
Coconut Guyabano Smoothie
1 cup guyabano
1 Saba
1 Buko
1 cup talbos or Green Powder
 
Lunch:
Leek and Onion Soup
1 leek stalks
1 onion
5 garlic cloves, minced
5 stalks celery, juiced
1 carrot, juiced
2 tbsp Braggs Liquid Aminos to taste
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil (optional)
4 cups water
Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Dinner:
Roasted Veggie and Quinoa Perfection
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
2 small zucchinis, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped
1 yellow squash, peeled and chopped
Juice of one fresh lemon Sea salt to taste
 
1. Roast chopped vegetables in the oven at 115°F until tender.
2. Soak  the quinoa overnight. Rinse and add water to a simmer in a medium pot. Let cook for a few minutes.
3. Place bed of quinoa on plate and surround or top with roasted vegetables and a splash of fresh lemon juice and sea salt to taste. I hope these ideas get your taste buds sizzling. Cleansing is absolutely critical to your health but I want you to realize that cleansing doesn’t have to revolve around one shot herbal supplements.

Instead, it can and should be based on eating clean whole foods. That’s the only way you can achieve quick and long-lasting results. After all, you’re improving your dietary habits one day at a time – and improving your daily habits is what counts in the long run ..
