Choosing Between All The Cleansing Detox Diets

With the new year here, there's a lot of buzz about cleansing detox diets. It seems the #1 new years resolution is to lose weight and eat healthier. By Feb. 1st all hopes and dreams of a slimmer trimmer body are dashed. That can be changed, cause cleansing your body has so many benefits. Such as reducing the stress load on the body's major filters; the liver, kidneys, lymph, colon and blood, and helping it to rid itself of accumulated wastes and garbage.

This waste and garbage causes your body to become more inefficient. This is where you constant hunger and sugar cravings come from. Even the finest of machines need maintenance. People typically cleanse the inside of the body everyday, heck...even your car gets it's dirty oil drained out every 3 months or 3,000 miles. You what can go wrong if you neglect to ever change your car's engine oil, complete engine failure. So why do the majority of people neglect or don't even consider cleansing the inside of the body. It's one type of maintenance that can have long-term benefits. Two important benefits are weight loss and relieving the stress on your immune system.

There are two basic types of cleansing:
One type focuses on one organ of the body.
The other focuses on the body as a whole.
We'll go over both types so you can decide which type suits your cleansing style.

There are two basic ways to cleanse the colon. One way often uses fiber or clay along with lots of water to create bulk. That gives the muscles of the colon more to push on and thus more waste is accumulated and moved out of the body. The other way of colon cleansing is called therapeutic hydrotherapy. This includes enemas, colonics, colon therapy and colon irrigation. A soothing flow of filtered, temperature-controlled water gently circulates through the colon, coaxing your body to eliminate stored toxins from different areas.

Skin brushing is another type of cleanse on the largest organ of the body. It's also the largest organ of elimination. Brushing the skin facilitates cleansing by stimulating the lymphatic system to get rid of toxins through the skin. It also improves circulation and removes dead skin cells and debris that clog pores. Sweating is also a good technique for eliminating toxins through the skin, so exercise and saunas are good things to do and/or use.

Your liver is the most overworked organ of the body. Because it has to filter wastes as well as produce many chemicals for the body, cleansing can reduce some of its burden. There are various recipes on this blog for a "do it yourself" flush. The lymphatic system is supposed to be the mover of cellular wastes to the blood and then to the colon, and kidneys for removal. However, it needs exercise to do its job because it has no pump, like our cardio-vascular system.

One way to stimulate the lymph and help it do its job is to jump on a rebounder or mini trampoline. Jumping rope or simply rocking back and forth in a rocker will also give some of that muscle movement necessary for the lymph to be pumped throughout the body. There is also a massage just for the lymph. I recommend that you seek a trained professional if you want a lymphatic massage. There are various products on the market that focus on cleansing right down to the cellular level. It's worth taking your time to find the right product that supports the organs of detoxification and the body as a whole. Depending on the product, this type of cleanse can go from days to months. So it's far better to do a cleanse that both cleanses and supports at the same time and is gentle on the system.

Fortunately, the human body is a self-healing machine! That's right, if you care for it, it will give you a quality life. I can't think of a better way to help your wellness goals than to cleanse. You may want to try this Easy Colon Cleanse so you can take the road back to good health.
