Detox Diet for Peak Health

What is the best detox diet for YOU?

Detox Diet, Biochemistry and Body Wisdom

Your body is ALWAYS changing. What is sometimes called your 'biological terrain,' everything from blood chemistry and glandular secretions to bone density, digestive capacity, protein absorption or protein depletion is continually shifting in a never-ending dance.

Some things, like bone density, shift at a slower rate. Blood chemistry can change in an instant - such as a sudden outpouring of adrenal hormone in an emergency. Other examples of quick changes in body chemistry: a measurable, pleasurable increase in endorphins and oxytocin when someone lovingly hugs you, or during a harmonious sexual experience.

With regard to food and drink, blood sugar levels can quickly spike and drop precipitously when high-glycemic carbohydrates are consumed. Healthy protein and fats can stabilize blood sugar on both an immediate and long-term basis. Such biochemical events can have far-reaching impact on the health of the rest of your body, and how you feel physically and how you handle stress.

What does the ever-changing state of your body mean for your detox diet plan?

Your second body detox diet tip grows out of the first:

Your nutritional needs are ALWAYS changing.

Short-term example: What was appropriate food for breakfast may not be right at lunch or dinner. Fruit and yogurt may be perfect in the morning, but by noon you might want salad and chicken.

Long-term example: You have been on a vegan raw food regimen for three years. Gradually you find yourself feeling fatigued and spaced-out. (This happened to me).

Do you determinedly try harder to cling to your belief system about what is THE 'perfect diet?' Or do you stop and listen?

Can you be flexible when your body wisdom asks for a change in direction?

If your energy level, digestive efficiency, sexual health and other body functions gradually worsen, something is WRONG!

This brings us to a third fact:

When your body cleanse program is just right, you will experience improved physical, emotional and mental functioning.

NOTE: While the general trend will be improvement, occasionally you may feel worse. If you are really detoxifying in a safe and effective way, even when you feel worse, your energy level will be good. You will also get over any symptoms quickly.

If you find yourself in a downward spiral, that is not cleansing - it is WRONG, and something needs to be changed. **Be sure to always consult with your doctor and follow their advice.**

There likely will be times you struggle with cravings, mood changes and other symptoms, but in general, the right body cleanse protocol will lead to continued improvements in all aspects of health.

Your detox diet program should give you continuing improvements in digestion, cardiovascular health, energy, attractiveness, happiness, libido and sexual pleasure, among other things.
