Starting Your Raw Health Plan By Doing A 3-day Detoxification

A 3-day raw detox diet often times is very helpful in the search to expel unsafe contaminants from your system and also provide a wonderful jump start to a raw diet. The body possesses the innate ability of leaching out toxins from diet and the environment thru the skin, liver, lungs and kidneys. The key is to give the body the raw (no pun intended) resources to do just that.

While there are numerous variations to the three-day detox diet, all of them follow these basic instructions:

- quit smoking, drinking coffee, consuming processed foods and unnatural sugars, and drinking alcohol
- eat plenty of ripe fruit and veggies
- consume nuts or seeds soaked in water
- have a lot of pure water

Following with a three-day raw food diet simply involves enjoying raw fruits, vegetables, herbs, and / or seeds for nutritive intake. Dropping meat products and even dairy helps to further cleanse the system of dangerous bacteria and toxins that enter into the body as a process of eating animal products and / or processed food. Cleansing your body helps to clean the blood which in turn assists in renewing the filtering organs and helps to optimize their functions.

This detoxification diet will give your body an opportunity to flush toxic waste without interruption from new poisons entering the body at the same time. As well as the raw vegan food, a successful raw food detoxification may include raw herbs that can further help in the internal cleansing of the body.

Infusions using items such as senna, ginger, fennel, star anise, milk thistle, and other herbs can be made with warm or hot water and can really help your body release noxious substances and poisons in a matter of a few days.

Besides raw detoxing foods, one must consume plenty of water on this detox. Raw living food contains masses of water in them, but to replace a body that's almost 80 percent water, plenty of pure non tap water has benefits. Each important chemical process that happens in the body needs water, including the removing of toxins, so it is of the utmost importance that water consumption stays high. Drinking lots of water also assists the kidneys and liver in processing and flushing out the poisons that you need to remove during your detoxing diet, allowing you to expel many of them by way of urination and sweat.

Just like a person who is making an attempt to detoxify from a drug addiction, drinking plenty of water and relaxing in a sauna can really push this toxin release to a higher level. Please discuss these suggestions with your doctor before doing them. The sauna detoxification might be one to add to your detox regime when you become more experienced.
