DETOXIFICATION OF THE BODY means the removal of toxins from the body. We humansg absorb toxins—preservatives, pesticides, stimulants, and heavy metals—through food, water, and air. Also, your own body produces toxins, called metabolic waste products, as a natural result of  digestion and respiration.

 Luckily, your digestive, endocrine, and circulatory systems are equipped with a complex set of mechanisms designed to eliminate these toxins through your mouth, eyes, skin, colon, urinary tract—even your breath. 

The trouble is that too much sugar, caffeine, and processed foods, little to no exercise, and stress can slow down  the body's natural detox function.

While there are many approaches to detoxing, they aim for one simple thing: to help the body do what it's already trying to do. Your body is always getting rid of toxins, but you can aid that natural process.

The major detox players in the body are the lymph, blood, liver, kidneys, colon, and parasympathetic nervous system.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANSED:

1.  CLEANSING THE COLON ( LARGE INTESTINES)

This is the most important step when you do a detox.If the large intestine is not cleaned regularly, minerals, vitamins and water are not absorbed properly, This is the source of many of our health problems. How can you cleanse the colon ? Eating a lot of fiber. For example: 3 x per day a handful of brown rice for a week . (You can add chia seed, linseed and grinded walnut to it and sometimes vegetables)
