Detox Diet Made Simple

By Benjamin Andrews

Everywhere you look there are foods, drinks, gadgets and even complete programs dedicated to body detox. The problem most people are running into when considering a diet detox is that there is confusion surrounding a couple key points. First, what exactly does it mean to detox? Second, how does one best go about detoxifying their body?

Put simply, detoxing is the process of cleaning impurities from the blood and the body in general. The body naturally eliminates toxins from the blood through the liver, then the rest of the body through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. However, when your body's natural system is compromised, impurities aren't properly filtered and every cell in the body is adversely affected.

The cleansing powers of a detox are most needed to jump start the body's natural systems and help get you out of a funk that is induced by toxic build up. Among the many ways to accomplish a quality detox, a few stand out as the most popular and effective methods. Of these effective methods, portable infrared saunas are one of the leading and fastest growing tools used in detox programs.

The research showing the ability to induce a good detox has made portable infrared saunas very popular items. The human body has a natural way of expelling waste from it's body, through its largest organ -the skin. By bringing on hyperthermia (a rise in body temperature) infrared saunas trigger increased blood flow which then in turn stimulates the sweat glands. Profuse sweating then expunges all the built-up toxins and waste through the skin.

By inducing a good sweat on a daily basis your body can better detoxify itself of accumulated heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium, aluminum) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid, arsenic, cholesterol, ammonia, uric acid, hydrocarbon residues, narcotic drugs and hormone disrupting chemicals (dioxins, PCBs, formaldehyde, agricultural chemicals, industrial chemicals, gasoline, pesticides, food additives, etc.). Toxins like these are often deposited beneath the skin within the body fat and internal organs. Infrared heat is capable of penetrating deep into the body, causing the water molecules surrounding the cells to resonate. The the frequency of the infrared waves is a match with the natural resonance of the human body, it helps the water molecules to move more freely through the cell membranes. Sweat and oil is then secreted along with the toxins.



To get a great detox, even if you are short on time or money, add a 15-30 minute FIR sauna session to your day. A good detox cleanse doesn't have to be overly complicated, simple is often better. - 31816
