Introducing The 7 Day Body Cleansing Diet

Whether the holidays just passed, you indulged too much at a family party, or if you are just feeling tired and unhealthy, doing a body cleanse can help to rejuvenate you.

There are so many body cleanses out there, some good, some not so good. Everyone can benefit from doing a 7 day cleanse, or detox, as long as they are doing it the right way! Drinking a magical drink for 7 days or only consuming raw vegetables isn’t necessarily the best way to do it. Your body NEEDS nutrients and vitamins. Participating in a 7 day body cleansing diet should get rid of any toxins you have built up as well as provide your body with essential nutrients.

BENEFITS OF A BODY CLEANSING DIET

Why should you do this diet? Here are four reasons you should participate in a 7 day cleanse.

• Digestive system relief. Your digestive goes through a lot throughout the day. It breaks down your food, processes the nutrients, gets rid of the junk, and keeps everything moving throughout your body. When you feed it junk food, or even excess amounts of food, it can become bothered. If you are having problems with bowel movements, participating in a body cleansing diet can help relieve that. This diet is rich in fiber and nutrients that stimulates the colon to help pass food through your system much easier.

• Improve your immune system. When we don’t eat properly, our immune system suffers. If you are feeling sick all the time, a detox may be just what you need. By detoxing your system of bacteria, your immune system doesn’t have to work as hard to fight it off all the time. When your intestines are free of junk, your immune system can focus more on other invading bacteria that is getting you sick.

• Sleep better. Tired all the time? Not sleeping through the night? The build up of toxins can be causing this. Foods that contain pesticides, artificial sweeteners, and other chemicals can be affecting your sleeping patterns. Remove all of that and you’ll see how much better you sleep at night, (and how much more rested you feel in the morning!)

• Weight loss. One of the major reasons people participate in a detox diet is to jump start their weight loss. Typically, body cleansing diets are very low calorie and don’t provide much substance. Some are all liquids, some just fruits and veggies, and some do contain actual food. Either way you cut it, when you detox, you do cut down on the amount of calories you’re consuming. This can help significantly with weight loss.
