Master Cleanse Detox • 01.06.09
Detox is a bodily process that transforms unhealthy toxic substances from our environment, diets, as well as our own bodies into something harmless or excreted. Toxins are inevitable in our lives but we have to limit our exposure to it. Our human body has the natural mechanism to detoxify itself, therefore we need to assist our body to perform this in an effective manner.
The way to detox your body starts from the knowledge of proper diet, nutrition, and stress relief programs to clear and prevent absorption of these toxins in our body.
Detoxification and elimination of toxins are the two basic steps which happen in the master cleanse detox process, ie. the detoxification process is when the toxins are purged out from the cells and organs. The elimination step is the clearing of these toxins from the body to avoid them to be reabsorbed into the body again.
The detoxification process involves drinking about eight glasses of 10 ounce lemonade which neutralizes the acidic waste and dissolves as well as dislodging them from where they are embedded especially the colon. Cayenne pepper is also used further to provide with. Then the herbal laxative tea further allows the final stage of cleansing by promoting peristalsis which is encouraging the colon muscles to contract and relax consistently to move feces and waste through the intestines smoothly.
The lemonade diet- using freshly squeezed lemonade (because of the enzymes present in these fresh lemons) that gives the best effects of the detoxification process.
The maple syrup - used to provide with the required natural sugar for energy as well as vitamins and minerals like B-complexes, vitamin C, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. The two common types of maple syrup are graded ‘A’ & ‘B’. More minerals contain in Grade ‘B’ syrup which is visibly darker than ‘A’ syrup.
Cayenne pepper - used for gastrointestinal tract problems like stomachaches, cramping pains, and gas, improves circulation by breaking up mucus and increasing blood vessels.
Non-Iodized Sea Salt – Unlike refined salt this contains all minerals that is required by the body especially during a detox program.
