17th February, 2010 - Posted by health news - No Comments

A 3-day raw food cleanse is often truly helpful in the mission to remove unsafe toxins from your body and also act as a great kick start to a raw food lifestyle. The body boasts the inborn capability of filtering out toxins from diet and the environment through the skin, liver, lungs and kidneys. The solution would be to give your body the raw equipment to do just that.

While there are numerous methods to the three-day detox diet, all of them follow these basic ground rules:

– quit smoking, drinking coffee, consuming processed foods and table sugar, and consuming alcoholic drinks
– eat a plethora of raw vegetables and fruit
– consume soaked nuts and seeds
– have a lot of clean water

Following a three-day raw diet simply involves eating raw fruits, vegetables, possibly herbs, and / or seeds for your nutrition. Dumping meat products and even dairy helps to further cleanse the system of threatening bacteria and toxins that enter into the body as a consequence of consuming animal products and / or processed food. Detoxifying your body helps to clean the blood which in turn helps in recharging the organs helping to optimize their functions.

This detox diet will give your body an opportunity to flush noxious waste products without additional toxins entering the body concurrently. As well as the raw food, a successful raw cleansing may include raw herbs that will further help in the internal cleansing of the body.

Infusions using:

• ginger
• fennel
• star anise
• lemon

and other herbs can be made with hot water and can really help your body release poisonous substances and poisons in a matter of a few days.

Besides raw detoxification food, one must drink lots of water on a detoxing diet. Raw living food contains masses of water in them, but to replenish a body that’s just about 80% liquid, lots of pure clean water is advantageous. Each critical chemical process that happens in the body needs water, including the creation of muscle, so it is of the utmost importance that clean water consumption remains high. Drinking lots of water also assists the liver and kidneys in removing the toxins you will need to get rid of during your detoxing clean, allowing you to expel most of them by way of your pee and perspiration.

Just like a person who is attempting to detox from an alcohol addiction, drinking high amounts of water and sitting in a dry sauna can really move this poison release to another level. Please talk about these ideas with your health practitioner before giving them a try. The dry sauna cleanse might be one to add to your detox program when you have done subtler cleanses already.
