Are you trying to detox your body without any real progress? Make sure you follow these instructions and avoid making these detoxification mistakes.
Do you want to Detoxify your body? Do you know what detoxification means? It’s getting rid of toxins and other harmful content.
For some reason, most people waste months trying to get their body clean without any real progress. The reasons for this are listed below.
8 Detoxification Mistakes Everyone Makes When Trying To Get Healthy
Make sure you follow these instructions and avoid making these detoxification mistakes.
1. The Only Juice Diet
Your body needs something more than nutrients during detoxification. Drinking online juices will deprive you of healthy fats, protein, and calories. It leads to adverse effects on your health.
Protein is a key nutrient that carries toxins throughout your body to get rid of them. Fats also play an important role. They absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
It is important that you take fats and proteins during the detoxing process. These nutrients take longer to digest. It stabilizes your blood sugar and keeps you full between meals.
Teas, Fasting and Juice Diets claim to help cleanse your body. But what they cleanse is your wallet. They don’t do a great job at detoxifying your body. So, you need to eat proper meals.
Don’t rush into the detox program and overdo everything. This will have severe effects on your well-being. Calories fuel your body to carry on its functions. So, don’t deprive yourself of the basics. It will cost you dearly.
2. Stressing Too Much on Your Diet
Most detox diets wipe out your menu. You should stop stressing on what to eat and whatnot. Detoxing your body is more than getting rid of the bad stuff, it’s what you add to your diet.
For the best results possible, add lots of green leafy vegetables, and the following:
- Kale
- Broccoli
- Berries
- Seeds
- Raw Nuts
- Fresh Herbs
3. Not Getting Help
It’s a fact we all need help from time to time. There is no shame admitting no need help to complete a goal. The fact is, detoxification is not a thing, your body cleans and detoxifies itself all around the day.
Yes, you clean your vital organs including liver, kidney, lungs and digestive system by smacking pathogens, getting rid of toxins and pollutants daily. The real question is, how can you help your body?
Just follow the basics, follow a healthy plant-based diet, exercise daily and get enough sleep. Healthy living is not rocket science. You don’t need to complicate things.
4. Using Laxatives
Colon cleansing is an important part of detoxing your body. But you don’t need laxatives or saline to do it. It will do more harm than good. Refer to this guide and learn How to detox your body using The Energy Blueprint.
Laxatives dehydrate your body to alarming levels. It can lead to fatal electrolyte imbalance. Worse, it can lead to bowel perforation. This is dangerous for people suffering from heart or kidney issues.
Laxatives can be addicting, and they can lead to other digestive issues like constipation as it disrupts the digestive system’s ability to work as it should. So, whatever you do, keep away from these.
5. Giving in to Your Desires
Victory Costs, Every Time a little more!
If you want to cleanse your body, you will have to sacrifice your food fetishes. Yes, stop indulging in the last meal. Detoxing is not a painful process, but it demands sacrifice. If you want to cleanse your body, stop eating at late night.
We understand if you work late at night and want to indulge in “one last meal”, but it will do more harm than good. So, you better control yourself!
6. Don’t Starve Yourself
Almost every modern diet is saying the same thing. You don’t have to starve yourself to death to lose weight. It just doesn’t work.
Moreover, switching to a juice-only diet and giving up on solid foods is a rash decision. Giving up everything all together is a recipe for disaster. This approach always backfires.
This diet will make you feel exhausted, it leads to dehydration and slows your metabolism as your body starts to eat body muscles for energy. This will make weight loss even harder.
7. Killing it with Lemon Water
Lemon Water can help you lose weight, but this shouldn’t be your main element. Instead, it should be a support drink that boosts up weight loss.
We recommend infused detox waters, but we would never ask you to replace H2O with lemon water. Yes, it’s a great way to hydrate yourself, get more antioxidants and vitamin C.
But, you shouldn’t use it as your main beverage because you are more or less putting your teeth in danger. Lemon will make the water acidic and erode enamel off your jaws.
8. Investing in Diet Food
The key to detoxification is going all-natural, and get rid of all the processed food. But if your idea of detoxifying is switching to a diet version of a processed product, then you’re in for a surprise.
It will make your condition even worse. Yes, diet food is just the more processed version of the regular item, and it may have adverse effects on your health.
