How does the detox diet work?
The aim of a detox diet is to give your body a break from its usual toxin load by reducing the amount of toxins you take in and encouraging your body to eliminate old toxins.
More specifically, it involves the following:
- Eating the right food to encourage the body’s natural detoxification processes.
- Going organic wherever possible (don’t worry if you cannot always eat organic produce - eating the right types of food is more important).
- Cutting out addictive toxic substances such as nicotine, caffeine and alcohol.
- Cutting down on foods and drinks that add to your toxin load - processed sugars, saturated fats, salty foods and additives.
- Including certain supplements and herbs that support liver function and help natural detoxification.
- Reducing emotional and physical stress in your life.
- Adopting healthy habits such as exercise, relaxation therapies and complementary therapies.
