Detoxification is a strong word. How many time in a day do we use a 14 letter word? I'm guessing not many. But it is a word you should know if you're suffering from pimples. Detoxification is holistic term used to describe a natural way to expel toxins from your body. Get rid of pimples by detoxing.
What is toxins you may be asking? Toxins are a poisonous substance that is produced by living cell or organisms. Toxins are mostly proteins, but can also be peptides or small molecules. In simple terms Toxins
are bad for you and your health and could be the leading cause of your pimples.
Detoxing is a way to expel these harmful toxins from your body. In a healthy body your immune system should be able to take care of the toxins that form in your body on a constant basis. But if the body is overwhelmed by greasy foods, sodas, junk food and stress, your body can't handle the chore of dispelling the overload of toxins. That's where detoxification comes in.
Detoxing gives your body a chance to heal itself.
The first thing in any detoxing program is to drink water.
I'm amazed to find people who don't ever drink water! They don't like the taste or can't see themselves paying for water. Well, here's a reality check, our bodies are mostly made of water. I'm sure you've been told before that our bodies are comprised of 60% - 70% water. The brain is 70% water and our lungs are 90% water. If you're not drinking water, then you're doing major damage to you health.
A glasses of purified water every hour you're awake during a detoxing program is a must. Sodas are not a substitute for water and neither is sugary drinks. In fact, you must stop consuming sodas and sugary drinks! They will not help your body heal itself. As a treat, after detoxing, you can allow yourself a can of soda.
The second thing is to eat healthy. Cut out the junk food and replace them with fresh organic fruits and vegetables. If you can't find organic products, then buy what you can. Remember to wash them well to remove as many pesticides as possible.
Try not to eat any process foods that contain corn syrup or fructose and sucrose. Refined sugars must not be eaten during a detoxing program. You must eliminate refined sugars from your diet. If you have the time, try to prepare your own meals.
Drink fresh carrot juice a few times a week. Don't go overboard as your skin may turn a shade of orange due to the bet carotene. Fresh Orange juice not from concentrate is a good daily drink. If you can mix some beet and celery juice every few days, that would help.
Eat 2 portions of fish a week if you want some protein. Tofu and soy protein is a good source of protein during a detox program. Turkey is a good substitute for beef, pork or chicken. Do not eat fried and greasy foods. Instead grill or baked you food.
Exercise at least three times a week. Raise your heart level for at least 20 minutes. Sweating will release the poisons from your skin. Consult a doctor before starting any exercise routine.
The body is a wonderful and amazing machine. It can heal itself if you help it. These are just a few things to get you started on a way to living a healthy life. I know that I mentioned a lot of don'ts, but use your judgments on what you can or can't do. It's may be better to start slowly and implement this program in steps. Drinking more water and cut out the sodas is a good start.
This is a detoxing program and should be followed for 10 to 14 days. Once the two weeks are over, you can start to cut down on water to 6-8 glasses a day and bring other foods into you daily life. Please try to cut down on refined sugars and processed foods.
Have a happy and healthy life and get rid of pimples today.
