Detox

Ph3n0m

I am looking to a do a body detox and am wondering what is the best way to go about this?

Is there any reliable way to detox the body.

Green tea,cranberry juice,fibre and water should help.

I would definitely go for the cranberry juice, it is also a diuretic, combined with that I would add some tomatoes, garlic and onions to your diet. Good for detox and they break down cholesterol.

I dont think there is an fully effective way to do it yourself without seeking a course of detox therapy from a proffesional.

So long as your diet on a daily basis is healthy it will help the body function properly and it shouldn't be necessary to pursue a detoxification regimen.

Again, why would you need to to an "ongoing detox"?? I mean your liver etc is well capable of removing most of the toxins from food alcohol etc.

Bottom line, a healthy diet, plenty of fibre and protein etc and you wont need any detox diet.

What you are basically looking for then is something that keeps the system going which again jsut means adding these things to your diet. I would also try spicing up your food, that helps too.

Peppers,spring onions,leeks and cabbage are also good for a detox.
