Western Diet? Detox Today!

Detoxing your diet can be simple, but you may need a few days to get into the groove. Start off by writing out a plan of what you're going to eat, go shopping beforehand, and cook larger portions of healthy meals so that you can take leftovers for lunch. You don't need to spend a lot of money on herbs and supplements, just keep focused on real, whole foods. Even supermarkets have prepared foods that are simple and delicious!

We all have an inbuilt detox system. Cleansing organs include the digestive tract, the urinary system, the skin and the liver. You probably rarely think about your liver, and it rarely complains, unlike an aching muscle, fluttering heart or a groaning gut. But it is busy producing heat, balancing cholesterol, processing proteins, making bile, activating hormones and storing vitamins. It is also responsible for detoxifying most of the chemicals we come into contact with, such as natural food toxins, alcohol, cigarette smoke, and household chemicals.

The most common ingredients in the standard western diet that are causing health woes are caffeine, refined sugars, refined carbs, artificial sweeteners and food additives. Even vegetarians need to clean up their diet and allow their bodies to detoxify on a regular basis. No matter what your health goals are - more energy, weight loss, a healthier diet, or to heal from a disease, they can be addressed with a simplified, delicious, cleansing, vegetable based diet. A wholefoods vegan menu detoxifies your body and allows its natural healing powers to kick in to gear.

The liver can more or less function even with quite a lot of damage, but when working overtime it just doesn't do all its various jobs quite as well. Symptoms of poor function include: tiredness, dark circles under eyes, poor digestion and dull skin.
