Almost every aspect of our health is distilled from the substances we put into our bodies. When you treat your body to a whole body cleanse, you're cleansing your system of the harmful toxins that often find their way into our everyday foods. These toxins are the result of preservatives and growth hormones, smoke and alcohol and once these substances build up they can lead to health problems and impair your ability to lose weight.
Cleansing and detoxifying helps you get rid of these toxins and allow your body to respond to your weight loss efforts. There are natural ways of cleansing and detoxifying and under optimal conditions the body does a very good job of eliminating waste and other potentially harmful substances. However considering the increases in pollution, environmental contaminants and the decrease in the convenience of natural whole foods, conditions are anything but optimal.
A whole body cleanse flushes your body of the toxins and waste products not eliminated naturally. Not only will your body begin to respond to your weight loss efforts but will also feel rejuvenated, clean, and full of energy. An ideal state for weight loss.
Who Should Cleanse?
The Whole Body Cleanse will benefit anyone who tries it, but those who are trying to lose weight or are feeling sluggish, bloated or suffering from unexplained malaise will experience the most benefits.
One of the biggest hindrances to weight loss is getting your body accustomed to new and healthier foods choices. When you begin a new weight loss plan and attempt to eat healthier, your body continues to crave the sugar, fat and refined carbohydrates that make up the average American diet. Completing a cleanse allows your body to rid itself of those harmful substances and by detoxifying, you're essentially kick starting your diet with a clean slate. Furthermore, the average 5-10 pounds of waste lost as a result of the cleanse is the perfect motivation to stick to your diet.
Although the whole body cleanse limits solid food, when conducted properly, your body will have all the nutrition it needs. But remember that it should only be used for a short time to clean, detoxify and kick start your diet.
Be sure to adhere to the guidelines and provide your body with plenty of fluids and juices to thoroughly flush out your body and ensure that you're not being, deprived of foods, nutrients, or vitamins.
