Overeating, or too much of anything, especially alcohol, chemicals, drugs, environmental pollutants, fried oils, and meats can lead to an enlarged, overworked liver. Allowing our body 'rest periods' helps revitalize its functions and ensure better health. Cleanses may vary in terms of length and the types and quantities of foods consumed. Rest is an essential component. In addition, several foods are important during your fast such as lemons, cayenne pepper, and most fruits and vegetables.
Water is essential for washing and moving out toxins.
At first, you may experience a headache, mucus discharge, or skin eruptions. Also be aware of improved senses, emotional well being, mental clarity, and weight loss. When ending your cleanse, it is important to take some days to gradually bring in solid foods. Chew well and be aware of how you feel with each food being reintroduced. If you are thinking about cleansing your body for the first time, please consult your health care provider who is familiar with detoxifying methods.
