American diet contains high saturated fat, trans fat, and other harmful
substances such as sugar, caffeine, pesticides, additive substances and
less in fruits and vegetables. These types of harmful substances is
toxic. Our body's detoxifying functions try to get rid of them everyday,
when they fail it causes disruption of hormone production, damaging our
body's detoxification organs and weakens our immune system resulting in
hormone imbalance and many chronic illness. In order to reduce the risk
of such results, detoxification is necessary to rejuvenate our body by replacing the intake of those bad foods with the healthy ones.
I believe this method is easy to achieve and everybody can do it without interfering too much with their choice of foods daily.
1. Reduce intake of meat
Protein
is vital for brain function but consuming too much protein will cause
high cholesterol building up in the arteries and triglycerides in your
blood as well as increasing abdominal fat. Meat contains 50% saturated
fat and 50% unsaturated. Since we consume more meat than we need, the
best way is to substitute some daily intake of fat with fish. Fish
contains high amounts of omega 3 fatty acids that help to balance
over-supply of omega 6 acid from meat. Omega 3 fatty acid also helps to
lower levels of bad cholesterol and triglyceride resulting in weight
loss and a more healthy body.
2. Reduce intake of dairy products
Dairy
products such as cheese, yogurt, butter, and ice cream contains high
amounts of trans fat which causes cholesterol and triglyceride building
up in our arteries, blocking the transportation of oxygen to our body
cells resulting in fatigue, poor concentration, memory loss as well as
weakening the body immune system. It is good for your health if you can
reduce some of the above dairy products with rice milk, soy milk and oat
milk because these healthy products contain more nutrition and help to cleanse your body from cholesterol, triglyceride and more.
3. Reduce intake of caffeine and alcohol
Caffeine
and alcohol are stimulants that help to improve the function of nervous
system, increasing alertness, and concentration but high amounts of
caffeine and excessive drinking of alcohol causes palpitation of the
heart, reducing levels of oxygen in the bloodstream as well as nervous
system break down and liver disease resulting in weakened immune system
and hormone imbalance. It is better for you to reduce daily intakes of
above products and replace them with herbal tea, grain beverage and
green tea because these healthy products promote a strong immune system,
fight radical forming and toxin cleansing. Of course, we still insist
drinking a maximum of one cup of red wine for women and 2 cups for men
daily to help improve circulation of blood and provide more oxygen to
the body's cells.
4. Reduce intake of sugar and artificial sweetener
Sugar
adds calories which if you eat more than you need, you will gain weight
and cause insulin resistance that increases your risk of getting heart
disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or even some types of cancer.
High doses of sugar and artificial also increase the urinary excretion
of calcium, leading to weaker bones. Replace some of the above with raw
honey or molasses.
5. Intake less carbonated beverages
Drinking
carbonated beverage forces your body to consume carbon dioxide that is a
toxic chemical and has a negative effect in your heart. Long term
expose of this chemical will weaken your kidney and liver function.
Replace some daily intake of the above with distilled water, filter
water and juices. Drink at least one cup of dark green leaf juice and
top it with some carrot to make it taste better. Dark green leaf juice
contains a variety of nutrients and antioxidants that are vital in cleansing heavy metals and other toxins from your body.
6. Eat more fiber
Food
with fiber is an excellent choice for body cleansing, specially for
cleansing the toxic chemical building up in the colon. It also helps you
to lose weight because you need more calories to digest food with high
fiber such as celery, broccoli, cabbage and fiber adsorbs the juices
from the stomach and make you feel fullness.
