Detoxification Hurdle to Pleasurable State

 

The process of detoxifying our bodies results in the purging of harmful environmental and chemical poisons from our body. The buildup of these toxins can overwhelm the body’s capacity to detoxify and may lead to such problems as hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, inefficient metabolism, and digestive and respiratory disorders.  Those who utilize the detoxification process often find it can result in improved energy levels, mental capacity, skin tone and clarity, digestion, metabolism, and breathing while decreasing joint pain, body aches and headaches, constipation, anxiety, irritability, and aiding in weight loss.

Though the end results of detoxification are very beneficial, the actual process of detoxifying can be difficult.  Headaches, nausea, and diarrhea can result as the toxins exit the body.  It’s important to keep in mind that, even though you’re doing a good thing for your body by detoxifying it, you may even develop a cold or flu-like symptoms as your body works to purge the germs and poisons from the cells.  Skin breakouts, anxiety, irritability and lethargy can also occur. 

The healthier a person is when beginning the detoxification program, the lesser and fewer these symptoms will be.  If the body has a great deal to purge, the process will be harder on the body.  If the process is a huge change from the previous lifestyle, these side effects might be more pronounced. 

Don’t interrupt the detoxification process by taking any type of drug to relieve these symptoms. They are a natural side effect of the process. Try instead to get some rest and focus on the end result. Try treating yourself extra special during this time.  Sit down and enjoy a good book, meditate, or even write in your journal about your detoxification experiences, so that during your next one, you can reflect back and remind yourself that what you went through was a natural occurrence, and also how wonderful you felt when the detoxification process was complete.

why this is not a fad diet?

  Eating raw fruits and vegetables isn’t the new fad diet, or the new South Beach Diet.   Believe it or not, humans have been eating this way long before they were eating processed junky foods.   We didn’t have access to most types of foods.   We were scavengers, picking fruits and eating vegetables were a delicacy.   Nuts were also eaten for protein.   It was either that or starve.   Humans ate these fruits as is, no additives, no cooking.   One and a half million years ago we learned how to cook.   So for a half million years we ate the food raw, as it was intended.   We are the only animals on the planet that cook their food.   Eating meat doubled the caloric intake of man, which made it easier to hunt and have enough energy to do what needs to be done.     Today, we have access to every type of food we want at our fingertips.   We can order Oolong tea (which must be handpicked on cliffs in china) from the inte...

Christmas Food

  Christmas is a time when we think of family get-togethers and abundance. It is memory lane for most of us, enjoying friends, memorable times and good comfort, traditional foods. But the weeks after the holidays are usually weight gains, health problems from too many sweets and food.     Today white sugar, white flour, dairy products, trans and saturated fats, refined cars and excess calories are on the “no-no” list … and with the holiday times it feels as if the cakes, cookies and candies will become obsolete. And we begin to feel deprived and panic stricken. After all, it is a long-time tradition.   One answer is to make some raw food desserts and take them to get-togethers and family meals. Use nuts, dried fruits, and avocadoes instead of white flour and white sugar. They have a lot of flavor, looks and are good for you. Oh yes … and they are easy to put together.   Jenny Cornbleet has a book out called “Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People”. In it t...
