drewciouS281 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hey everyone! Just curious as to some easy, inexpensive ways to detox or clean out your body. I take alot of vitamins and afew supplements and lately i have been feeling low on energy and catching colds easier than normal. A person can usually tell when your body has a good build up of toxins and would like to flush them out. Any methods or ideas? Thanks! Link to comment
EQD Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 dont eat junk to begin with. *shrug* no need to detox if you avoid the toxins from the start. Link to comment
Jeremiah Johnson Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Avoid alcohol, caffeine, soda, etc... drink a lot of water, gatorade, and juice; eat light baked&grilled foods like potatoes, shrimp&rice, grilled chicked, salads, etc. A good 2 weeks - 1 month of that should have you feeling like new. You can also have EQD follow you around for that time and kick you in the a** if you get off track... Link to comment
EQD Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 potatoes natually have toxins in them. avoid mayo too. and stick to perishables. so no gatorade. no corn syrup. which is a common sweetener in junk juices. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 gatorade might help. you may need electrolytes. sometimes if i feelin crappy after drinkin, i'll take milk thistle (pill form). it helps flush the liver. daily multivitamins are great with gatorade after drinkin too. is this why drew? maybe take some time off bud light. maybe you are sick?

BeStrongBeHappy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The body has a natural detox system that is made up of the liver, kidneys, and lymph system. So you have your own built in purifiers! A lot of the press you read on 'de-toxing' is just to sell product. Some of the more famous ones have you take supplements that come out of other end as giant globs of 'toxins', when it is really the product itself coming out the other end, so a scam. So the trick is to tune and fuel your body such that your own systems can do their jobs. Tiredness and colds may mean a suppressed immune system. Have you been getting enough sleep, or partying and drinking too much? that might explain why. I'd just continue to eat healthily and exercise and take some stress vitamins (b-complex vitamins plus C) which help provide your body with support for when you're worn out or under stress.

Moz Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Eat a balanced diet, get plenty of exercise and enough sleep and you won't need to de-tox. Link to comment
agape-mama Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 You could consider the "lemon cayenne" or master cleanse.... There's lots of info on it if you google it. There are other fasts/cleanses out there too, like the apple fast cleanse. Or going in for a colonic can be really helpful with detoxing too. Good Luck! Link to comment
sosilver Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 You can try to fast for 2-3 days, and eat only papaya, mango, cantalope and watermelon while drinking tons of water through out the day. This helps with detox. Link to comment
