3 Ways to Detox or Cleanse Your Body
There are many different ways to detox or cleanse your system but some of them are more popular than others. Below we are going to talk about three common methods and how each is done.
Some people hear the word detox and they automatically think about someone who is recovering from some type of alcohol or drug abuse but detoxifying your body, also known as fasting or cleansing, is a very common strategy to help improve one’s health.
Here are three common methods:
Liquid Detox
A liquid detox generally revolves around drinking a certain mixture for a set period of time without adding any type of solid food. There are many different commercial drinks that you can purchase that provide your body with basic nutrients as you go through the cleanse. Some liquid cleanses are based on smoothie type drinks while others are based on formulas that are closer to water. One of the most popular cleanses over the last few decades has been the lemonade diet, also known as the Master Cleanse. The Master Cleanse uses lemons, cayenne pepper, and grade B maple syrup to create a lemonade that is taken for up to 10 days.
Herbal Pill Detox
Herbal pill detoxes use a specialized blend of natural ingredients to help regulate your body and improve health. These products are thought to help cleanse the colon of toxic waste and undigested food, and is also believed to help with energy. One of the side effects of this detox and the liquid cleanse is weight loss. There have been many documented cases of rapid weight loss while on a detox diet.
Hydrotherapy Detox
Hydrotherapy detoxes are one of the few that are normally not performed in the home. This particular cleanse is done in an office setting and requires the colon to be flushed with warm water via the rectum. In some instances the water is infused with special herbs but not always. Hydrotherapy cleanses may be uncomfortable and often cost far more than other detox options.
