The Detox Diet for Greater Health - E-book - ePub

Detoxing can do more than make your eyes sparkle and your skin glow - it can boost energy levels, improve digestion and help shift a few unwanted kilos too. While it may look like a fad diet - no grains, no alcohol, no milk, no sugar (and no fun) - a detox is far from a quick fix for weight loss. The purpose of any detox plan is to take the load off the organs that detoxify the body - the liver, kidneys and bowel - while at the same time supporting and improving their performance.
If you want to fast track your health, give your body a break, or just want to detox diet for a short time, follow the information in this ebook. A seasonal detox is an effective way to clear your body of toxins, which will also speed up your metabolism and enhance your overall health. Start by decreasing the amount of sugar you consume, says Matt Dower, spa director at Mirbeau Inn & Spa in Skaneateles, NY.

"In the long term, this kind of habit can cause you to become chronically fatigued, diabetic, develop cancer, and pack on excess weight."
