Ways To Detox Your Body
A modern lifestyle has its pitfalls. Most of us succumb to its pressures and the lack of time and resort to unhealthy lifestyle practices such as eating junk food, consuming more than the recommended amount of caffeine, smoking and drinking, improper sleeping habits, to name a few. We are also exposed to pollution, may it be air, water or noise, eventually increasing toxins in our bodies. The obvious consequences are obesity, lack of lustre and dull skin, lack of energy, cellulite, bloating and dull and dry hair.
People today are making note of these consequences and are taking measures to get back to a healthier lifestyle. One of the most popular measures taken is ‘detox diets’, of which the ‘lemonade diet’ or ‘master cleanse’ is the most widely practiced.
As the name suggests, a detox diet effectively purges one’s system of harmful toxins and free radicals. This diet is more like a ‘carbohydrate fast’, wherein the individual is restricted from any carbohydrate intake for either some or entire duration of the fast. Originally conceived by Stanley Burrough, the lemonade fast heals disease by cleansing and detoxification. To practice lemon detox diet, one must abstain from all foods and drinks except lemon juice.
