Introduction To Detox Diets was written by Ryan Bombard

Detoxifyingthe body has become an apparent key preventative measure to all kindsof health problems. Since most of us are busy, and unable or unwillingto maintain a strict diet in order to completely eliminate all thetoxins from our body. We have chemicals building up in our bodies dayafter day. Since these chemicals are not harmful in small amounts, onlyin larger accumulated amounts, we don't notice side effects until weare much older. A proper, even if occasional, detox diet is necessaryto relieve our bodies of harmful toxins and chemicals, and maintain ahealthy, normal, and long-lived life.

The main idea of a detoxdiet is to eliminate nearly all foods and restrict the body to onlywater and vegetables for a few days; usually around 5 or 6 days isadequate. Most detox diets then allow for a slow re-introduction ofother foods, gradually. The diets generally restrict foods from yourdiet that are said to have harmful toxins. Along with this a detox dietshould then flush the existing toxins out of the body. A detox dietessentially gives the liver and other organs a chance to catch up andremove all the toxins. This is done through our sweat, feces, and urine.

Ourbodies simply cannot cope with the normal day to day ingestion ofchemicals. Most these chemicals come from foods, as mentioned before,but also have a wide variety of other sources. Although we do not knowwhat foods are the cause of it all, we do know that pesticides, heavymetals, such as mercury and lead, and the chemicals in cigarettes andthe air we breath, all enter our bodys via our lungs or stomach and cancause an excessive build up. These chemicals in small amounts areharmless; its the day after day ingestion and build up of them whichcan lead to degenerative diseases.

One common detox diet is thecombination of nothing but fruits and water for a given period. Thepromotion of chemicals being metabolized by our bodies can be helpedwith certain vitamins, herbs and supplements. Some supplements willhelp the mobilization of toxins in our fat and other toxin depositslocated throughout the body. Since our bodies rid themselves ofchemicals through sweat, sauna therapies can also provide a greatbenefit. There are many other diets and detox therapies, these are justa few common methods. Regular body detoxification is a goodpreventative action and promotes a healthier present and future!
