needs a detoxification. The process of removing toxic substances from a living organism is called detoxification. It can be done either medically or physiologically. It is about cleaning and resting our body parts. Detoxification is also helpful in the treatment of alcohol and tobacco addiction. Eat lot of fruits; your body will detoxify itself automatically.

Water -Our bodies are 75% water. So, apart anything else we do, we should drink adequate amount of water.

Fasting-For a day in one week don’t eat anything. Drink only water mixed with lemon and honey.

Exercise-It will flush the lymphatic system and the body cells will be filled by health giving oxygen.

Detoxification diet and its benefitsDetoxification diet is a process of cleansing the body of impurities and toxins by substituting regular diet with a special diet consisting of only fruits and vegetables, liquids, and other foods or by eliminating some foods like fats, carbohydrates, etc completely from ones diet for a certain period of time. The detoxification diet is not given much value by scientists and some nutritionists; because they claim that no scientific proof has been established about its benefits. Yet many claim to have received multiple benefits by detoxifying the body for a certain period of time. Whatever the arguments may be, if a person has been eating unhealthy foods all the time, and suddenly switches to quality food, there can be no denying the fact it is indeed beneficial.

Also for obese people, undergoing a detoxification program will definitely help in losing weight even if other benefits may not be noticed instantly. Following a healthy eating plan, with regulated food quality, type of food, quantity and frequency of intake will help anyone for that matter.

Many people who have just given up alcohol go through a liver detoxification program to cleanse the liver of the toxins which has accumulated over many years of alcohol consumption.

However it is important that the food quality should be good and the quantity of food intake and the frequency should be regulated.

Detoxification of the body can also benefit the mind indirectly, causing one to have a positive and more optimistic outlook because when the body is healthy, the mind is also healthy. There is no specific period for the detoxification diet. However to achieve a certain amount of benefit, it is advisable to continue the diet for at least 3 days. On the other hand, prolonged diet however may deny the body of essential vitamins and minerals and may have an adverse effect on the body.

If one is suffering from any disease, then detoxification diets should be done only in consultation with the doctor or health consultant. Also detoxification diet should not be followed by pregnant and lactating women. Care should be taken to ensure that the food quality is free from toxins or impurities in the form of color additives, taste enhancers, etc. because if the food quality is not good, than it defeats the whole plan of detoxifying the body.
