Also, a fast should be conducted under professional supervision especially if you have not done one before or do not know the right one for you. It is important to have a steam bath accessible during a fast to help assist the body's elimination process.

In looking for a good herbal cleansing product, it is important that the amount and variety of herbs used work together to promote cleansing, rebuild function, and avoid unnecessary cleansing reactions. Fiber Nearly all people throughout history have consumed high fiber diets, but its importance in nutrition was not accepted until recently. In the early 1970's, Dr. Denis Burkitt of London, England was the first to make the medical community aware that the change to a low fiber diet in Western countries can be associated with increasing levels of constipation, intestinal polyps, hemorrhoids, heart disease, diverticular disease, appendicitis and colon cancer. This relationship has been repeatedly verified in subsequent research. Americans typically consume only 11 grams of dietary fiber each day, far too small for any health preventative care regime.
