What is detox

Whether we like it or not, something extra is constantly deposited in our body, be it unnecessary kilograms or toxins, which the entire civilized world has recently declared cold war. Toxins are poisons harmful to the body that lie in wait for us everywhere: in poor quality water and food, in inorganic cosmetics and household chemicals, in the environment (especially if you live in a metropolis), in medicines and even in synthetic clothing and furniture. Toxins are declared the main culprits of most diseases, poor immunity and digestion, dull and dull appearance and depression and stress accompanying all of the above. In theory, our body is designed in such a way as to independently get rid of everything unnecessary. But when his own resources are no longer enough, all sorts of cleansing programs, detox gurus and nutrition specialists, who have recently begun to appear like mushrooms after rain, come to the rescue. So it is precisely detox that is the “reset” button for the body, by clicking on which you can start natural functions to cleanse and restore our body.

What's the point

Despite the existence of many programs and methods of cleansing, they are always based on several unbreakable rules - if you follow them, you can carry out a real spring cleaning in your body. These include a certain diet, the exclusion of unhealthy foods and the addition of foods that promote - or at least do not interfere with - the detoxification process (first on this list are all kinds of green cocktails and smoothies, freshly squeezed juices, green salads, creamy soups, superfoods, minimally processed legumes and grains), and physical exercise, SPA treatments, healthy sleep, relaxation and minimizing factors that contribute to body pollution and stress. It is also recommended to drink plenty of fluids in the form of plain water or herbal tea. Banned are all processed foods, products made from white flour and sweets, fast food, soda and packaged juices, fried and fatty foods, meat and dairy products, and sometimes seemingly innocent foods such as potatoes and bananas. In the detox blacklist you will also find all the famous bad habits like alcohol, smoking and a cup of aromatic espresso in the morning. As a result, chlorophyll, antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins and fiber should become your best friends, and unhealthy fats, empty carbohydrates, dyes and flavor enhancers, including all foods containing sugar and salt, are officially declared enemies.

But the game is worth the candle: as a reward for food asceticism, an endless list of bonuses awaits you, including getting rid of excess weight and allergies, improved complexion and skin, solution to almost all digestive problems, strong immunity, great mood and a charge of energy that will last for at least another six months.

I learned about detox from my friend Zhenya Kazarnovskaya. Her slimness and sparkling eyes made me think about cleansing - before that, I had never tried a single diet in my life. For several years I kept fasts, but this is a religion, and dieting for the sake of changing my appearance never came into my life. I really liked the state that you experience during detox: I didn’t drink a single gram of coffee, and I had more strength and inner excitement than on the busiest working days, when the number of things to do is such that you become reactive (albeit, while drinking a ton coffee). And here - not a bit. The hardest part was giving up bread. It was not difficult, but simply unbearable! But despite this, I will definitely undergo cleansing again and advise everyone to try it at least once.

How to prepare
and go through detox

Preparation for detox can take from a week to a month, it all depends on the initial data and innate love for green salads and freshly squeezed juices. If the latter is not your cup of tea, you shouldn’t rush headlong into detox: the body may simply not cope with the amount of toxins that have accumulated in it, and then the idea of ​​cleansing will have to be shelved. During preparation, you need to gradually give up prohibited foods and add as many recommended ones as possible: for example, replace White bread to whole grain, white rice to brown, and grains containing gluten to gluten-free. The detox itself can take from several days to several months - it all depends on your goals, capabilities and willpower. It will take about a week to come out of detox, during which you need to add familiar products and observe your body's reaction. If you suddenly feel uncomfortable after eating, for example, bread, then this is a sure sign that it is better to give it up altogether.
Best time to undergo detox - the beginning of spring and/or autumn. It is at this time that the body, according to experts and nutritionists, gets rid of everything unnecessary without much difficulty. It is also advisable that during detoxification you are not distracted by thoughts of upcoming deadlines, dinner parties and breakfasts with colleagues, during which it will be difficult for you to deny yourself a cup of forbidden cappuccino and croissant. So it is advisable to plan the upcoming detox in such a way that it coincides with your vacation or, at least, with a quiet work schedule.

Detox retreat

If you have unlimited financial capabilities and time, but your willpower has let you down a little, it’s better to go to one of the detox retreats scattered around the world, where you don’t have to worry about the quality of the products, their preparation and the search for a yoga teacher or fitness trainer. Such retreats are usually held in picturesque places, and all that remains for you is to enjoy the beautiful views and eat miniature dishes served by the best chefs on expensive porcelain dishes. The hottest destinations are Henri Chenot's clinic in Merano and English naturopath Lisa Jeans' Complete Retreat in Spain. The price of lost kilograms and acquired health will be 4,170 euros per week in the first case and 1,750 euros in the second. As a rule, during detox retreats the schedule is planned in such a way that you simply do not have free time not only to think about food, but even to read a book. Light meals (mostly raw food), fresh air, walks in the mountains, yoga, strength exercises, meditation, dancing, massage and other pleasant SPA treatments - this is an approximate list of activities that await you throughout the week. Many movie and show business stars are fans of such programs, where they leave about four to five extra pounds after or before filming the next film masterpiece.

I learned about detox many years ago, after my friends visited Lisa Jeans in Spain. My first detox was at Kalari Kovilakom in India. Unfortunately, I was unable to stay for the full period (21 days) and reduced the program to 14. Detox is a serious process that requires serious treatment. In India, Panchakarma is offered, where the removal of toxins is carried out through ghee - warm ghee mixed with herbs and medicines, which you drink for four to seven days. On the second day I started to experience real withdrawal symptoms. My whole body ached, it was difficult to find a place where the pain would go away. But it’s worth it: the result after 14 days is not only a cleansed body and minus a couple of kilograms, but also a brain detox: much of what seemed important after the clinic turned out to be complete nonsense. After this trip, detoxing once or twice a year became a must for me. Here it is at the beginning next year I’m planning either Chiva-Som in Thailand, or Villa Paradiso on Lake Garda. I recommend detox to everyone - you don’t even have to fly overseas for it. You can cleanse yourself at home, there are many different detoxes, the main thing is to strictly follow all the rules.

Detox delivered to your home

If you have time to walk in the mountains and bask under strong hands You simply don’t have massage therapists, but you still want to get rid of hated toxins; specially designed nutrition programs will come to your aid, which a pleasant-looking courier will deliver to you directly to your home or office. The market leaders in Britain are The Pure Package, whose clients include Lily Cole, Florence Welsh, Mark Fast, Hugh Jackman and others. Also, juice detox, the so-called juice cleanse, is now gaining great popularity: companies like BluePrint, Liquiteria, Ritual Cleanse and Organic Avenue offer delivery of freshly squeezed juices and smoothies with the telling names Skin trip, Killer x, Royal flush, Transition and Booster. In our country, Just For You and its more budget-friendly version, Green Diet, do an excellent job of this task. In this case, you are also relieved of any concern about the quality of products and finding recipes, because the courier’s large black bag will not only contain a variety of fresh juices, smoothies and salads, but also an exact schedule for when all this should be eaten and drunk. You choose the duration of the program yourself, but the recommended period is from five to seven days, after which you can talk about some visible result.

My own specialist

Most a budget option, with which you can carry out a detox, is to go through it yourself, with the support of sites like Salatshop

I have a friend, her name is Alena Doletskaya. From time to time, he and my wife begin to take care of my health and take me with them to various detoxes. Thanks to them, I drank cucumber juice for a month in Spain, took an enema in Thailand, and walked with a bottle of diluted suspension through the mountains in Austrian Carinthia. The most difficult thing about detox is not the process itself, but the development of its results subsequently. Moscow life washes away all its charms in two months. Without violence against common sense, detox is a useful thing: it cleanses not only the stomach and intestines, but also the brain.

The philosophy of a healthy lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular and significantly influences the minds of modern metropolitan residents. But an environmentally friendly home, a proper diet, good sleep - all this would have no meaning without the mandatory “preparing” of the body for a new way of life - detox, which is a thorough cleansing of the body. This topic is especially relevant in the post-holiday period - a period when we are tired of an overabundance of “wrong” heavy food and drinks. FashionTime will tell you about the most popular, simple and available ways detox, will help you create an individual diet and get yourself in complete order.

What is detox?

The idea that our body needs systematic medical examination and cleansing has a history of more than a thousand years. The term "detox" came to us from Greek language and means the conscious destruction of toxic substances using complex methods. It is believed that the philosophy of the “pure organism” originated as an independent direction thanks to the Indian teaching of Ayurveda. In fact, by the 21st century, detox methodology has developed so much that modern medicine has identified detox as a separate area.

If earlier detoxification meant freeing us from the consequences of drug and alcohol addiction, today detox is a general set of health and cleansing procedures aimed at putting the gastrointestinal tract, liver, blood, skin and other body systems in order. The ultimate goal of detoxification is balance and harmony of the body, which is freed from excess, becomes healthier and functions like a clock.

Depending on how they feel and their complaints, those who decide to detox choose their own system that will help them improve their health and feel great.

Who needs a detox?

Despite the fact that cleansing prevention is considered a universal health procedure, there are whole line signs that indicate it’s time for a thorough detoxification.

To begin with, pay attention to external signs: often dull skin, dark circles and puffiness under the eyes, rashes become evidence of problems with excess toxins.

Symptoms that can be easily dealt with by cleansing the body are headaches, chronic fatigue, irritability and other consequences of prolonged stress.

For smokers and gourmets, detox becomes a mandatory and systematic procedure. However, coffee and alcohol lovers and those who do not watch their diet should also cleanse their body at least once every six months.

By treating body cleansing as a therapeutic measure, many serious health problems can be prevented. And - as nice bonus- after detoxification, you will immediately feel what a complete “reboot” and real lightness means.

Typically, such diets are stressful for the body. In order for the transition to a less calorie and “cleansing” diet to go smoothly, we need mandatory preparation. If you decide to follow a detox diet, you should be patient and already a month before the cleansing begins, limit yourself to eating “heavy” foods. Forget about high-calorie foods, fatty and fried foods, include vegetables, fruits, herbs, and cereals in your diet. Two weeks before the start of the detox program, you should completely switch to a plant-based diet.

When switching to a cleansing diet, it is worth remembering that without moderate physical activity and proper rest, the diet itself will not be less effective.

The main rules of any detox diet: start your day with glasses warm water with lemon. Before noon, eat fiber - cereals, apples. Remember to drink up to 3 liters of water per day.

Detox preparations and dietary supplements:

Special preparations designed to cleanse and heal the body also have a quick and effective effect. Naturally, it is worth realizing that dietary supplements and vitamins will not provide complete protection and detoxification, but they may well serve as assistants in the fight for a clean and healthy body.

The first step after the January excesses is to cleanse and protect the liver, which has experienced enormous stress due to the abundance of alcohol and fatty foods. One of the new products in the industry is a product from an American company Amway NUTRILITE™ liver assets. Manufacturers promise that the drug will improve the metabolic processes of the liver, increase its protective functions and contribute to its gradual recovery.

The composition of the new product is a centuries-proven milk thistle extract, supplemented vitamin complex. Milk thistle, which is a powerful antioxidant and widely known for its protective properties and a beneficial effect on liver cells, has a simply amazing effect due to natural silymarin. This substance can safely be called synonymous with cleansing; silymarin is also a powerful antioxidant. Complex formula NUTRILITE™ liver active, in addition, supplemented with five B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5 and B12). A 60-day course of dietary supplements will help improve metabolic processes in the liver, increase its resistance to adverse effects and speed up the restoration of its functions.

The usual drug is also considered affordable and effective. "Detofit", which can easily be found in any pharmacy. The basis of the syrup composition is artichoke extract, which activates intestinal activity and removes heavy metal salts and radionuclides. In addition, the product contains the entire range of useful microelements necessary for cleansing:

In addition to the emergency detoxification effect, Enterosgel excellent for general maintenance therapy.

Hardware cleanup

In addition to diets and medications, in some cases it is useful to perform mechanical cleansing of the body. Usually the result of intoxication of the body is visible “on the face” - the skin deteriorates and becomes dull, hair and nails become weak. The most reliable - and very pleasant - way to cleanse the skin and remove stagnant toxins is bath procedures. Dedicate a whole day to yourself, steaming your skin in a Russian bathhouse, Turkish hammam or Finnish sauna. Through the opened pores, along with sweat, not only surface impurities leave, but also toxic substances that interfere with the skin’s normal functioning.

Extreme ways to completely detox the body are laxatives, enemas and colon hydrotherapy.

The main thing is a sense of proportion

Detoxification of the body is a responsible and systematic process, and each stage of cleansing must be accompanied by support.

Don't forget that our body is a finely tuned instrument that can be broken with one wrong action. Don’t get carried away with fasting, don’t contradict your body, listen to it and its requests. Do not neglect consultations with doctors - in the end, only a real specialist can choose individual system cleansing that's right for you.

Don't forget to exercise - yoga, Pilates, stretching exercises will help you stay toned, energize you and speed up your metabolism, which is so important in the detoxification process.

Every day, along with food, the body enters harmful substances, which lead to the development various kinds diseases - both internal organs and skin. There is a slagging of decay products, so the process of cleansing the intestines and other organs is very important for a person.
