With all the pollutants in the air and chemicals and preservatives in food, our bodies are bound to collect toxins. Although our kidneys, skin and liver are continuously working to remove harmful substances from our body, some toxins get stored in the fat cells in the body. A detox diet facilitates and speeds up the removal of toxins from the body. With busy schedules, a three-day detox diet is perfect for jump-starting the body's cleansing process.
Guideline
A three-day detox begins with eating healthy, including fruits, vegetables, fiber and lean proteins into your diet. While adding certain foods is beneficial for nutrition, eliminating certain items from your diet is even more crucial to achieving the benefits of the detox. During the three days, eliminate caffeine, alcohol or other processed drinks/juices. Drink eight glasses of water each day for the three days; up to two glasses of fresh fruit juices can substitute as a glass of water. Do not over exert yourself, but take a 10- to 15-minute walk each of the three days.
