Breaking Down Detox: Is it Good, Bad, or Just a Fad?

Detox stuff has taken off in popularity recently, but what is it exactly? Does a detox drink just flush right through your system and wash your body free of toxins? Does a detox diet actually work? Wait…what are the toxins anyways? Most importantly, can trying to get rid of them be more harmful than healthful? Many people are quick to jump on the detox bandwagon, but some basic knowledge beforehand can help you determine what will be the most effective when it comes to putting together a personal purifying plan.

Which would you rather put into your body?

Is food supposed to be these colors?

Wholesome & nourishing.

The real dirt on toxins

Before you can understand the “de” in detox you should have an idea of the “tox” (aka the toxins we’re aiming to get rid of.) They’re little compounds from various sources that, when they build up in our bodies, have nasty effects. They can cause anything ranging from headaches and nausea to death. Below, toxins are broken into two main categories:

Environmental Toxins: If we wanted to be fancy we could call these “exogenous toxins,” but either way you say it, environmental toxins are made outside of your body. They would be carried in things like food, air, and water. Some examples are over-the-counter or prescription medication, carbon monoxide, and pesticides.

Metabolic Toxins: Technically considered “endogenous toxins” these guys are just the opposite of the above, and they are made inside of your body. They can include the “waste” produced by our cells as they constantly give us energy, but there is a blurry line as to where metabolic and environmental cross over. Some might consider a toxin in highly processed food that is released during digestion actually metabolic, and not environmental.

Also to be mentioned is biological (virus, bacteria, etc.) and chemical (mercury, lead, medication) toxins. In general, they can be stuffed into one of the above categories, which is all you really need to know for a basic understanding.

Orange Juice vs. Orange Drink

How do we get rid of these toxins? (Now comes the “de”)

Our bodies are incredibly good at processing toxins, with the liver, lungs, and kidneys bearing a large part of the burden. Without any sort of detox drink or diet we can keep ourselves pretty pure, an impressive feat, considering how many toxins our lifestyle these days include. This is where it becomes hard to figure out if detoxing ourselves does anything, and if it does, is it helpful or harmful? For various reasons, it can be both.

Banana Chips vs… (what the heck are these things anyway?)

How not to detox

These are some examples of ways that are more detrimental than beneficial.

Fast or don’t eat: Your body is working hard to keep you healthy all day every day and has a highly-evolved process of detoxification all its own that does a pretty darn good job at getting the nasties out. If you fast you’re often depriving your body of nutrients needed to keep it running strong, healthy, and detoxing at the utmost efficiency.

Follow a “detox” or “detox fad diet”: When people follow a detox diet-particularly the fad kind, that seek to make money off of you-and then find they are more energized, focused, and have an overall sense of wellbeing, it’s probably because they were eating healthier foods. The benefits seemingly experienced by a detox diet most likely just come from avoiding processed edibles (which should really be called inedibles in my opinion.) In terms of weight loss, the initial drop is primarily water weight when on a fast, and any pounds shed after that will only be re-gained when the detox has stopped. It’s just a quick-fix, and not a terribly healthy one at that.

Don’t sweat it: “Sweating out toxins” is not an accurate phrase, despite being so popular. Sweat is 99% made up of water, with a tiny bit of salt, urea, proteins, and carbs. Anything truly toxic, like mercury, alcohol, or drugs, is eliminated by your liver, kidneys, and digestive system. On average you have 2.6 million sweat glands-all designed to regulate body temperature, not get rid of bad waste products.

Fruit vs. Fruit Flavored

How to detox

The best way to “detox” is to avoid toxins in the first place, but the more we overload our world with them, it doesn’t hurt to lend your body a helping hand.

Eat healthy: The body is all about prevention, and tries to keep you healthy rather than get you healthy. It would really rather avoid having to deal with a bunch of processed foods and their toxins in the first place. Eating healthy is the true “detox diet.” There’s nothing fancy about it, just some dedication and trust in the amazing functions of the human body. When possible always go organic, that way you can avoid ingesting the nasty chemicals and pesticides often found on or in non-organic foods.

Keep the air fresh: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure here as well. Try making a switch to greener cleaning products that will emit fewer chemicals that are harmful to breathe in, and do your best to avoid things like cigarette smoke as much as you can.

Create or follow a good recipe: The beauty of the internet is that we can share information across the world in the blink of an eye. Using what you know about detox and any experience with it, come up with a healthy recipe of your own to help flush things out, or utilize someone else’s. There are a lot of good ideas floating around out there from a straightforward detox drink to elaborate smoothies.

Exercise: Exercise keeps your blood pumping along and circulating through your body, which helps keep your system clear of bad build up. It just boosts your organ health overall, and often times you can work up a good sweat. While you don’t sweat out toxins, you certainly feel good and healthy after you work out effectively and sweat a little.

The verdict?

You and your body are a team, and when you want to detox, you only have the best intentions at heart. Keep in mind though, the best way to keep your system clean and toxin free is to use common sense and trust your internal workings.

I like to define detoxing loosely, more as a day-to-day undertaking, rather than an intense period or product that “cleanses,” and that won’t help much once you stop. It’s a blend of knowing what to avoid, and what kind of things actually do help you out, whether used on occasion or every day. It can be as simple as eating healthier. We add more toxins to our world all the time, knowledge on how to get rid of them grows increasingly important. Think about what you would define detox as when you’re deciding on what to try and who to trust.

Make Your Own Detox Drink for Daily Enjoyment & Cleansing

Whether you’re just trying to steer clear of the sugary drinks, or aim to really help your body flush out any toxins lurking in your system, this refreshing blend of foods and flavors will satisfy your tastebuds needs.

Included: Watermelon/cucumber, lemon/lime, mint leaves, and water.

Why Watermelon (or cucumber): Watermelon helps the body flush out toxins because it contains the organic compound citrulline, which is an amino acid that has been shown to help the liver and kidneys filter and get rid of ammonia. Ammonia comes in external forms, but is also a by-product of the proteins our bodies are burning up constantly for energy, and it’s quite damaging to our cells. Cucumber also contains citrulline, but not as much as watermelon. Watermelon may also just give the liver an overall boost.

Why water: H20 is just plain good for us, but it’s thought that it helps flush nasty toxins and waste through our system, giving organs like the liver and kidney an easier time doing their job.

Why lemon (or lime): Lemon or lime juice helps stimulate and regulate the digestive track (which is why it’s so helpful with constipation, heartburn and gas), stimulates bile production, and thins out bile, which allows it to flow more freely. Bile is produced by the liver and ends up in the small intestine to break down lipids (fats) that we’ve consumed.

Why mint leaves: Mint leaves are a nice refreshing flavor to add to your drink. On top of that, it can help you digest more effectively, improving the flow of bile from the liver, to the gallbladder, to the small intestine, where it breaks down dietary fats. Mint also helps relax cramped up stomach muscles.

You will need…

-1-2 liters’ of water, depending on how strong you want it to taste
-Part of 1 watermelon or 1 cucumber
-1 lemon or lime
-A handful of fresh mint leaves (approximately 10-13)
-Ice cubes

Directions

Slice up a good amount of watermelon into cubes, rind and all, and put them into a jug or pitcher. Cut 1 juicy lime into wedges and toss in with the watermelon. Add a handful of fresh, fragrant, mint leaves and pour in 2 liters of cool water, filling the jug all the way to the top. Let this sit overnight in the fridge and let all the yummy flavors steep and infuse the water. When you want to drink it, put in a generous helping of ice cubes, pour, and enjoy daily.

Watermelon & mint

Cucumber & lemon.

Flavor Tips

• Try substituting a lemon for the lime, cucumber for the watermelon, or a combination of all of them.

• Pour water in first and then add the ingredients. I feel like there’s more of a burst of flavor when the water gets poured in and everything swirls around, but there’s something to be said for letting it gently infuse itself as well (the water tends to stay a bit clearer as well.)

• Don’t add ice to the entire jug, and leave it on a cup-by-cup basis. If you plan on drinking it over time, this can help prevent it from getting diluted as the ice melts.

• Start with 2 liters’ of water steeping overnight, and then experiment with longer/shorter times and more or less water.

• Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and/or lemon and then slice up another and add that to give it a little extra citrus kick.

• This isn’t for flavor, but this drink looks mighty appealing in a glass pitcher on a hot summer day.

DIY Detox Drink We all have different tastes and preferences, and like to mix things up every once in a while too. Experiment by trying out various ingredients, amounts, and methods (like blending, or boiling into a tea, or infusing into water, etc.) Below is a list of foods that have been shown to help boost your built-in detox system (namely liver, G.I., and kidney function.) If possible, always buy organic to avoid chemical ingredients or pesticides.

Cruciferous vegetables & leafy greens: This group includes a lot of veggie superheroes, and is why you see so many “green” detox drinks or smoothies. Included are broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, bok choy, and spinach. Broccoli and co. increases the amount of glucosinolate (organic compounds) in our body, which in turn help create enzymes that help our body’s breakdown and digest things. Leafy greens like lettuce and bok choy have the ability to neutralize metals, chemicals, and pesticides that find their way into our systems.

Avocado: Avocados can help your body produce an antioxidant, glutathione, which our liver needs to do its job and filter properly.

Grapefruit: High in antioxidants and vitamin C, grapefruit or grapefruit juice also aids the liver in flushing carcinogens (things linked to causing cancer, like stuff in cigarettes and tobacco, as well as some pre-prepared foods) and possibly pesticides out of the body.

Beets: The systems in the body all work together, and for various reasons beets seem to be helpful to more than one major organ. However, they’ve shown themselves to be particularly helpful when it comes to aiding the liver in detoxification.

If it’s chilly, try making some detox tea to keep you warm and healthy, or mix up an icy cool drink in hot weather. Play around with what you like and keep in mind things you know are good for your body’s own detox system-not things that claim to be a miracle detox system all on their own.

Easiest Weight Loss Plan Ever

                               Weight Loss Plan From The 2 Day Diet

                      How dieting less can add up to more weight loss

The new trend in weight loss? Diet less, not more, for fast and long-lasting results. US and UK scientists have discovered that combining two pounds-off approaches—part-time dieting and low-carb eating—makes it possible to stick to a plan just 2 days a week while losing more weight and more belly fat than you would on a conventional 24/7 diet, all while slashing your risk of diabetes.

And this isn't the stuff of late-night infomercials. A few years ago, British researchers started using a part-time diet to help women at higher-than-average risk of breast cancer lose weight. (Obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer, and body chemicals associated with extra weight, such as the hormones insulin and leptin, can help fuel tumors.) The scientists first tested an ultra-low-calorie plan 2 days a week and found that it worked: The women lost weight and reduced levels of leptin and insulin; plus, they experienced a drop in levels of inflammation-boosting proteins that can also increase cancer risk.

The results were astonishing. The women who followed a part-time low-carb plan lost more weight and saw bigger improvements in levels of leptin, insulin, and inflammatory compounds than did a control group who followed a conventional reduced-calorie, fulltime diet. Over 3 months, the group that cut out carbohydrate-packed foods such as bread, cereal, noodles, crackers, and sweets just 2 days a week lost 9 pounds, while the daily dieters on a 1,500-calorie plan lost only 5 pounds. The low-carb part-timers also saw greater reductions in insulin and inflammatory compounds, both of which can raise risks of diabetes and certain cancers, including breast cancer.But there was a major hitch: Living on 650 calories a day 2 days a week isn't easy. The women wouldn't be able to stick to a diet that regularly left them starving for 48 hours. So the researchers sent them on another route: low-carb eating 2 days a week. The rest of the week, the study participants could eat what they wanted, as long as it was healthy.

Your 2-day plan
Strive to eat low-carb, avoiding carb-heavy foods such as pasta, pizza, bread, snack foods, and sweets, 2 days a week. You pick which days, and they don't have to be consecutive.

On your low-carb days, aim to eat no more than 50 g of carbohydrates. Spread your carbs—from vegetables, low-carb bread, fruit, and dairy products—throughout the day, making lean proteins (eggs, fish, or poultry) the central part of your meals. In general, have 15 g of carbs at each meal (roughly the amount in a small apple or a glass of milk), plus 5 g of carbs for your daily snack (say, a few slices of fresh tomato and mozzarella). So on a low-carb day, you might eat an omelet for breakfast, a leafy green salad with grilled chicken for lunch, string cheese and a few almonds for a snack, and salmon with a side of string beans or broccoli for dinner. The rest of the week, enjoy regular-carb eating, but don't go overboard on processed foods. Opt to get your carbs from healthier sources, such as grains, fruit, and non-starchy vegetables.

So, does it really work?
Inspired by this new research, we developed the 2-Day Diet—a part-time, low-carb plan designed to fit into your busy (and very real) life. We know it works because we tested the plan on 18 women and men. In just 6 weeks, they lost an average of 9.1 pounds and 7.5 pounds of body fat—some lost more than 20 pounds. They also slashed LDL cholesterol (the dangerous type that increases your risk of heart disease) and lowered their blood sugar, reducing their risk of diabetes.

Are You Scale-Obsessed?

Do You Have An Unhealthy Relationship With The Scale?

Four common weight watching traps to avoid

Experts caution against imbuing the scale with magic weight loss powers. Are you drifting in that direction? Here are four signs that you need to rethink your attitude toward the scale.

1. You Weigh Yourself Twice a Day "After the first check-in, you're not going to get any additional helpful information," says Holly Wyatt, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Colorado. A better plan for obssesive types, says Kristine Clark, PhD, an assistant professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University, is to track your weight loss progress. "Weigh in weekly and chart the numbers to watch for a pattern," she explains. "That reveals more than a single number." 

3. You're Preoccupied "Dieters tend to be compulsive people," says Franca Alphin, RD, an assistant clinical professor of community and family medicine at Duke University. If nonstop thoughts about when, where, and how to weigh yourself have taken up permanent residence in your brain, it's time to back off the scale and focus instead on the rest of your day...and your life.2. You Focus Only on the Numbers Remember that the number on the scale is merely one measure of acceptable weight loss; there are things the scale can't tell you. Clark suggests asking yourself, Do my clothes fit the way I want them to? Can I walk a mile without getting out of breath? If the answer is yes, you are likely to be at a healthy weight.

4. You Avoid the Scale Altogether If you are phobic of scales, find another way to monitor your weight, or you may end up paying the consequences, says Clark. "I had a patient who had lost 60 pounds in a year, but then he stopped weighing himself. The last time I saw him, he'd gained back 20 pounds." For patients who avoid the scale, Clark uses a tape measure. She checks their body dimensions at the waist, thigh (midway between hip and knee), and chest--something you can do yourself at home.

Wondrous Ways That Water Can Improve Your Health

H20 does more for your body than just quench thirst

Yeah, we know; you've heard it all before, "Water is good for you, blah, blah, blah." But there's more to H2O than simply quenching your thirst, and chances are a few of these tips will surprise you. In fact, they may even help you lose weight. So put down that soda, pick up a glass of tap, and learn how one of Earth's most precious natural resources can help better fuel your life, body, and diet.

1. Water Keeps You Hydrated

We know this seems obvious, but the truth is your body can't function at its most basic level without ample amounts of water. Says Lonny Horowitz, a board certified bariatrician practicing in the Atlanta area: "Every metabolic process in the body, whether it be a muscle contraction or a biochemical reaction in the liver, requires water to be present." So what happens if your body doesn't get enough? Horowitz describes it simply: "If you get dehydrated, you become beef jerky. Your tissues begin to dry, and the actual chemical activity in your body is reduced, so you won't have the energy to do things like burn fat and exercise," he says. But how will you know when you're running low on H2O? According to the Mayo Clinic, if you're thirsty, constipated, tired, or are producing less urine, you may already be dehydrated.

2. Water Makes You Feel Full

Yes, you read that correctly: Drinking a glass or two of water before a meal can help you practice portion control. This is a great tip, because many of us, even those who aren't dieting, tend to overeat. "Anything that takes up space in your stomach is going to cause you to feel fuller earlier," says Horowitz. But don't think you can down a glass of water and only eat half of your dinner. "Liquids pass through the body much more quickly, so the effect of feeling full will not be as long term as eating solid food," he explains. So the trick is to eat smaller—but not minuscule—portions. That way you won't be hungry again as soon as the water passes through your system.

3. Water Flushes Toxins from Your Body

Staying properly hydrated is the only way we can effectively purge our bodies of toxins. "It's like cleaning up a construction site," says Horowitz. "The toxins are the unused junk that's leftover, and our bodies remove this waste through sweat, urine, and stool." But you need to have enough fluids present for that to happen. "If you don't," Horowitz says, "your kidneys won't work as effectively, and the toxins will become more concentrated and difficult to expel." This will have a negative effect on your liver, kidney, and bowel function—all of which play an important role in the weight-loss process—and can lead to built-up toxins entering your blood stream, potentially causing a host of other problems.

4. Water Keeps You Regular

This is closely related to flushing toxins (it's part of the same process, after all), but there are other benefits to having regular bowel movements than ridding the body of pollutants. People with chronic constipation are more likely to experience numerous diseases and conditions, from diabetes to colon cancer, and people who have regular bowel movements are less likely to be obese, according to the State of Minnesota's Office of the Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities.

5. Water Helps You Sweat

Sweating may be embarrassing sometimes (such as when it's visible on your clothes), but it's a necessary function, as it regulates and cools your body temperature. It's a huge boon whenever you're exercising, but if you're not properly hydrated, you won't be able to sweat as much as you need to. If you can't sweat, you'll get hotter and tire more quickly, and you won't be able to exercise. Or worse: "If you push yourself physically when you're not properly hydrated," says Horowitz, you could "get heat stroke and [possibly] die."

6. Water Helps You Exercise

Not only does water keep your internal heat gauge in check when you're running laps or shooting hoops, but it also physically assists you while you do those things (and any other physical activity). Water lubricates your joints so you can move easily, and it hydrates your muscles to prevent cramping. "When I have patients who are complaining of muscle cramps, one of the first things I do is tell them to increase their fluids," says Horowitz. "You need to have water present for the actual contraction and expansion of muscles to take place," he says. "It just won't work any other way."

7. Water is Better Than the Alternatives

Water has zero calories and a host of benefits. Sure, you can be hydrated from sources like milk, soda, or tea, but, according to the Mayo Clinic, "Water is still your best bet because it's calorie-free, inexpensive, and readily available."

But even if you're not trying to cut calories, swapping water for soda can still have a positive effect on your health. Just look at the ingredient list on almost any brand of cola and you're likely to find chemicals such as phosphoric acid (shown to lower bone density in a study conducted by researchers at Tufts University) and caramel color (a carcinogenic substance that the Center for Science in the Public Interest tried to convince the FDA to ban). In other words, regardless of what size your waistline is, water makes for a healthy beverage choice. Period.

African Mango Supplement

How the African Mango Diet Will Help You Lose Weight

For a long time now, I have been urgently attempting to shed pounds and keep the lost pounds off. From my encounter, I discovered that, even some weight reduction supplements may be of some support with the expectation that they are 100% regular and have no frightful symptoms), lion’s share of them will just help you shed a couple of pounds and won’t truly diminish your deliberations altogether. Notwithstanding, since I truly didn’t have an inkling where to turn anymore, I chose to attempt this new item called African Mango, particularly since Dr. Oz proposed it.

When acquiring the item, I read a couple of african mango surveys (which you might as well dependably do before purchasing any supplement), yet to let you know reality, they did not assist excessively, on the grounds that the analysts had conflicting estimations. What I acknowledged, however, was that some individuals did not even utilize the supplement for more than a couple of days, however they still asserted to give a precise audit. Evidently, you can’t depend on such audits, so this is one of the explanations why I chose to expound alone, with no outside help encounter in the wake of attempting the supplement and utilizing it as prescribed.

You may as well realize that I never take weight reduction supplements separated from everyone else and want inexplicable occurrences; I dependably attempt to consume sound nourishments, drink a considerable measure of water and practice no less than 3 times each week. In this way, in the event that you want to see major comes about simply by taking this item separated from everyone else, you will likely be baffled.

Be that as it may, what I perceived generally promptly in the wake of beginning utilizing the item was that it did offer me that support that I was searching for. It ended up being a legitimate assistance for my eating methodology. I was (beyond any doubt) not feeling ravenous constantly, my physique was not feeling powerless anymore, and I quit having those bothering cravings you have when you’re on an eating regimen. Thus, assuming that you are on an african mango diet , consuming sound will come effectively.

Because of that incredible vigor support, I was likewise fit to work out progressively without feeling tired. I felt full of vigor and I was really no longer concerned with my weight or my eating regimen, for instance I used to be in the past. Like I as of now specified, I used to endeavor genuine enterprises to shed pounds throughout a long time of time, so I used to be amazingly concerned with calories, pounds and standards.

I should let you know that, in the event that you are accustomed to being on an eating regimen, and this is not your first endeavor to dispose of the pounds that make you feel ugly, you will encounter only a moderate weight reduction throughout the first weeks. This is the reason it is imperative to keep taking the african mango diet and stay concentrated on your last objective, regardless of the fact that you don’t feel that you are blazing the large in a split second.

After the first 3 months of taking the african mango diet each day, I lost something like 30 lbs, which for me, was more than acceptable. Assuming that 3 months sounds excessively for you, recollect that losing an excess of weight overnight is not beneficial and it for the most part prompts picking up considerably a greater number of pounds than you had in regardless.

African Mango is a common supplement that causes you get thinner in a sound way. I don’t concur with the individuals who say that the African Mango supplement is not that viable. For me it worked incredible, since I utilized it as it was proposed to be utilized – as an assistant within your eating regimen, not a “miracle pill”; thus, don’t stuff on pills while pressing on to consume huge amounts of sugar and fats, since you won’t get results, regardless of what supplement you utilization.

To entirety up, this is not an item that will help you get in shape overnight, smoothly. It is intended to give you a support while slimming down and make things simpler, and it does precisely that. I warmly propose this item to any individual who is without a doubt bound to shedding pounds strongly!
