mage diet: Body Detox: Flushing out toxins for a healthier body and mind

Introduction

Body detox refers to conscious efforts, by a person, to aid the body remove
toxins. The skin, blood, lungs and kidneys among other organs in the body need
to remove toxins/ harmful substances taken in through food, air, water, drugs, etc.

While the practice has been in place since time immemorial, it has gained
much popularity in recent days for health and aesthetic reasons; as people
become more aware of healthy living.

Many social media platforms, nutritionists and medical practitioners advocate detox diets

and practices that people should follow.

However, not every detox plan is safe, and people should be cautious
against following just any plan. A change in the quantities and nutrients of
food ingested during detox, slows metabolism; making a person experience
dizziness, nausea, low energy and exhaustion among others symptoms.

Detox can be done on a short or long term basis.

Natural body detox

The body has its own natural detox mechanisms. This is carried out by the
kidneys, the liver and colon.

The colon produces healthy and unhealthy bacteria
that destroy harmful toxins before their absorption into the blood stream. To
maintain the colon in good shape, a person needs to eat well; eat fibers to ease
digestion and keeps the colon flowing. The kidneys filter blood regularly to
remove toxins while the liver does the same, filters blood before toxins get to
the blood stream.

To maintain both the liver and kidneys in good condition, one
needs to drink lots of water, eat food that do not overwork the liver and, most
importantly, minimize alcohol intake.

Planned body detox

This is aided detox, taken through conscious efforts. It can be done through
taking certain diets, exercises, refraining from excessive use of substances,
such as tobacco and alcohol, and taking ample rest among others.

While body detox can be carried out on simple diets, and without the strict orders of a
doctor or nutritionist, detoxification from substances/ drugs must never be
taken lightly, and should be done gradually under the supervision of detox
doctor.

This enables gradual acclimatization of the body to the drug’s absence
as well as monitoring and treating withdrawal symptoms.
