What

’

s all fuss about doing a

? I mean, we

’

re not talking about lungcancer or diabetes so why should anyone bother doing a body detox diet and what is a wholebody cleanse?Well, your liver

might only weigh 4 pounds but it’s the largest gland of the body and

the centreof all metabolic processes to dispose of junk you thoughtlessly put in your body.Be nice to your liver! Your liver not only collects the contents from your intestines, storecarbohydrates, balance your blood sugar levels and activate and deactivate hormones butcrucially, your liver detoxifies your body removing poisonous plastics, pesticides, heavy metals,additives, sweeteners and other dangerous stuff from your body. These tiny alien bitsaccumulate turning your body into an acidic fermenting machine when it should be relaxed and

alkaline. And that’s why you do liver cleansing diets and why natural detoxification is the best

kind there is

–

alkaline

not acidic.The health of your liver is very important, which means that doing a whole body cleanse to getrid of all the trash your body is storing is also important.I avoided doing a liver cleansing diet for a long time

a very long time. Who would deliberatelytake all the interesting foods out of their life and replace them with raw or steamedvegetables? Did you hear that? That was my stomach talking

–

because unless you’ve been

living under a rock you know that a

healthy detox

is a necessity for anyone eating awestern diet.Okay, if

you’re ready to get the most from your

liver cleansing diet then take note.

# 1. List all the things that you need to do your liver cleansing diet. That means lots of freshfruits and vegetables in your list. Specifically beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower andcabbage are great liver cleansers.# 2. Avoid aerated drinks, coffee, sugar, chocolate and alcohol.# 3. Avoid wheat.

That’s easier to say than do because wheat is in almost everything –

so avoidprocessed foods and be done with it. Wheat is very hard to digest and can obstruct your bowel.

And believe me when you do a liver cleanse you don’t want the junk to move around your bodyonce you’ve disturbed it –

you want it out, otherwise you

’ll feel ill. On your body detox say ‘no’

to pasta, doughnuts, croissants, breads, biscuits and breads.# 4. Cut out fats and animal proteins. Again, hard to digest. What?

Nothing to eat?
