Detoxification is not just for the celebrities who abuse pain relievers anymore. New evidence indicates that virtually everyone needs detoxification – not for drug use, but to scrub out the colon, blood system, liver, as well as other organs which have been building up probably dangerous amounts of harmful matter through the years. A lot of people are jumping on the cleansing diet bandwagon, and even for good reason, too.
With the preservatives, hormones, air pollutants, pesticide sprays, as well as fat (think fast food) that enters the body every day, it is just smart to clean the temple every once in awhile. You would not go without cleaning the house for very long, and you should not go very long without cleaning out the body, either.
Listed here are three scrumptious recipes for detoxification diets. Give them a try if you want to help purify your system and/or lose a few pounds:
1) Vegetable Broth
* A head of fresh broccoli
* A cup of clean spinach leaves
* A cup of celery
* A container full of sterilized water
Just chop up the veggies into really small pieces. Put them in the pot of water, cover, and get them to a full boil. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer and let those vitamins and minerals seep out of those vegetables to the water. After about 30 mins, drain the mixture. Throw out the greens, and drink the broth. Yummy plus a good colon cleanser!
2) Tomato-based Hearty Detoxification Soup
* A pot of purified water
* A head of green cabbage
* A couple of medium green bell peppers (or one large and one small)
* One onion
* Three stalks of celery
* 3 carrots
* One-third to one-half of a pound of organic or icy green beans
* 1 or two cans of diced tomatoes or tomato gravy
Cut the cabbage into pieces. Cut the peppers into bite-size pieces or smaller if you prefer. Chop up the onion, celery, and carrots in to pieces of the same size. Put together the green beans.
Some people will say to put the ingredients to the water a little at a time, starting with the “hardest” vegetables first. I find that pointless. Simply toss all the veggies into the container of water, cover, and take to a boil. Then, lower the heat and allow the soup to simmer for several hours. Enjoy!
3) Lemon and Citrus “Tea” Detox Recipes
Lemon is quickly becoming a popular cleansing ingredient, almost certainly because of its large citric acid content, vitamin C density, and abundance of bioflavonoids. Besides for all these benefits, there’s something which is commonly satisfying with regards to the lemon, don’t you think? Lemon household furniture polish still brings back childhood memories of helping my mom dust the room furniture, my dishwashing soap is lemon-scented, and lemonade on a sizzling day – are you kidding? It gets no better than that.
* A cup of grapefruit drink
* The juice of one large lemon
* A couple of teaspoons of olive oil
* 1 to 2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil
* Optional – a clove of crushed garlic
* Optional – divide the juices to half a glass of grapefruit and half glass of orange
* A scoop of your preferred protein powder from the diet store
Simply mix the above ingredients within your mixer and drink. Try and drink it on an empty stomach; maybe the first thing each day, and be prepared to be cleansed out.
Recipes for detox diets are a sure and quick solution to help clean your digestive system out in general. Nevertheless, it is important for you to stick to the directions meticulously and only use for the length of time which is suitable.
