First day
The first thing you need to do after you wake up is to squeeze the juice of a medium lemon a large glass with water and drink it. Then, every hour, drink one large glass of water. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, eat a fruit salad with a lot of apples and oranges – and perhaps other fruits, depending on the season. Also, drink herbal teas.
Second day
The diet is the same as the first day, only at breakfast and lunch you can add sesame and sunflower seeds.

Detox cleanse has gained popularity because of much celebrity endorsements. Another reason why most people opt for detoxification is its cleansing power. It helps to wash away toxins are on inside the body which can cause indigestion, insufficient urination and irregular bowel movement. Detoxification also helps the excretory system in filtering the body of waste products and viruses.
The most vital detox organ of the body is the colon. It is responsible for keeping the body free from any toxic materials and waste products which may slow down the digestion process. As soon as it drives out toxins inside your body, your body will begin to function quite normally. If there are is too much toxic build up, the colon will not be able to flush all the waste products and other body parts responsible for digestion will also begin to falter. Exercise and proper diet should always be included in any detoxification programs to avoid relapses.
Complete wellness and health are always intertwined. This is why lots of people undergo detoxification process because of its ability to restore quality cells and refurbish your colon’s capacity to wash impurities.
The first target of colon cleanse is the entire intestine during the first stage. It gently cleanses and purifies this certain area of the body and ensures that there is no fecal matters left which may be converted to toxins if not flushed successfully.
Reconstruction of the colon is involved in the next stage as toxins and other impurities are already washed out. Nutrients are supplied to repair damaged area inside the body. These nutrients are going to strengthen the colon and shield it against toxic matters. Drinking plenty of water also hastens the healing process.
Another process involved in the restoration stage is the absorption of right nutrients. The body will then resume its normal function once toxins are totally eliminated. To maintain a healthy body, you should eat fiber enriched foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Unprocessed foods should also be avoided at all costs as bad health problems will eventually come back if we don’t watch what we eat.
After the purification and restoration process comes the maintenance program. Your body is at its healthiest stage after detox and cleanse. A change in your lifestyle is essential at this stage to remain healthy and fit. Keep away from unhealthy foods and other sources of toxins. Drinking plenty of water and eating fresh fruits and vegetables is still encouraged for more absorption of nutrients.

Detoxify With a Juice Fast
Posted by Steve in Acai Burn, Free Trials, weight loss on April 27, 2010
So many people around the world are adopting the standard American diet (SAD) to their own detriment. Foods containing hydrogenated oils, refined sugars and processed white grains are said to be responsible for our epidemic numbers of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Our bodies need to be nourished properly in order to remain disease free and maintain vitality. It is always a good idea to take your health into your own hands. One way to facilitate detoxification in your body and get yourself back on track is to undertake a juice fast. Freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juices are rich in nutrients and nourishing.
In order to perform a juice detox, one would forego foods for 2-10 days and replace them with freshly prepared juices several times each day. Fiber can be harsh to assimilate. Extracting the juice from produce separates the easily digestible juice along with its enzyme and nutrient content from the fiber. Fasting from time to time gives your digestive system a well-deserved break and allows your colon to cleanse.
At the completion of a juice fast it is vital to continue on a healthful path. It is important that you try to eliminate processed junk foods. Take small steps by replacing bad foods with good ones a little bit at a time. If you take the trouble to fast, it is beneficial to continue releasing toxins from your body. Resuming your old, unhealthy lifestyle will only build toxins again.
It is virtually impossible to eat the quantities of fruits and vegetables you would need in order to match the nutrient content of a glass of freshly pressed juice. Try a green juice containing kale, collard, spinach, cucumber, celery, parsley, green apple, carrot, a slim slice of fresh ginger (or more to taste), and a half of a fresh, organic lemon. By adding the lemon, you will cut the potent flavor of the concentrated greens making them more palatable. The ginger is a great blood detoxifier and will enhance the effect of the juice.
Since mounting research continues to tout the health benefits of consuming fresh vegetables and fruits, it makes sense to detoxify with a juice fast. In just one glass of juice, you can pack in the daily recommended produce intake and more.
Let’s lift our glass of green juice to better health!

Dealing with Infant Acid Reflux
Posted by Steve in Uncategorized on April 13, 2010
Any person who is suffering from acid reflux can tell you how troubling and extremely painful this condition truly is. Just like in adults, acid reflux in infants is also very common. If you happen to have a child at home, then it is highly suggested that you read on further, so you can find out more regarding this condition.
Acid reflux typically occurs when LES or the Lower Esophageal Sphincter which is the muscle that can be found at the center of your esophagus gets weak. The purpose of this particular muscle is to create a seal so that the foods you eat flows directly into your stomach and stays there. Then again, if this muscle is weakened, it will be unable to fabricate a seal and in effect, the gastric acids in your stomach can seep back up into your esophagus giving you that sour taste and burning sensation along your chest.
Acid reflux in infants usually happens during their first three to four months. If you think that your child is suffering from acid reflux, some of the symptoms that you need to be on the look out for are frequent spitting and vomiting, chronic coughing, sleep problems, bad breath, irritability when they are being fed, persistent crying, frequent hiccups to name a few.
However, some of the symptoms which are above mentioned may also be brought about by other medical problems like gastroenteritis for instance. So, in order for you to find out if your child is indeed plagued by acid reflux, it is best that you consult with your doctor for a more thorough diagnosis.
In adults, one of the simplest, yet effective acid reflux treatment is lifestyle and dietary changes. However, something like that is a bit impossible for a child, so the best infant acid reflux treatment would be is to give your child antacids, acid blockers or acid suppressors. But first, seek the advice of your family doctor before giving your child such medications.
