8 Starter Tips Before Starting A Detox Plan

No one doubts the benefits of detox and as a result the need to have a detox annually. Before you start the detox process you have to learn what will exactly happen and what if any possible side effects there might be.

Some side effects are probable, depending on how many toxins your body has. Many people are experiencing constipation and skin problems, frequent headaches, weight gain amongst a whole host of health problems.  Some of these problems are due to constipation and skin problems, a diet of high in saturated fats and a stressful lifestyle. These factors contribute to a toxin accumulation in the body. A detox program could be beneficial.

But before starting a serious detox program, some general tips must be considered.

Detox Tip 1. To start, choose a cleansing technique that is not too extreme or drastic for your condition.

Detox Tip 2. On the other hand, make sure the technique you choose is not too mild, because it would be ineffective.  You can   start with a gentle cleansing technique but build up the program gradually.

Detox Tip 3. If you are a woman, never  detoxify when you are having your period or when you are pregnant.

Detox Tip 4. Always plan enough time for the cleansing process to occur.  For example, a bowel cleanse may require about 4 hours for purging to take place.

Detox Tip 5.  Do not rush into a cleansing program.  As in the above example, take it slowly during the 4 hours.  Only easy tasks, nothing heavy. Stay near a toilet.

Detox Tip 6. Before you start cleansing, go carefully through all instructions and check if you have all the foods you need for your detox plan.  It is better if you don’t have to rush out to the grocery store in the middle of your cleanse.

Detox Tip 7. If you can, work with a trained health practitioner, giving him or her complete details of the health problems you are facing.

Detox Tip 8. It is important to decide with your health practitioner which part of the body you should cleanse and in what order.  Cleansing of the different parts of the body can include colon, liver, kidney, lung and skin cleansing.  The right order will give a more complete and effective detoxification for your body.
