The Mediterranean diet is not only wildly popular around the world but also considered to be one of the most healthful diets of all that have received in-depth research attention.
The researchers teased out the contribution of the nine dominant components of the traditional Mediterranean diet that account for the lower mortality. In descending order of importance, the components are: moderate consumption of alcohol (primarily wine), low consumption of meat and meat products, high consumption of vegetables, high consumption of fruits and nuts, high consumption of oil (mostly olive oil) and high consumption of legumes (e.g., beans, lentils).
I found this video last night and really liked it. It explains the difference between a liver detox, a colon cleanse and an entire body cleanse. In the conclusion it gives you a clear definition in which case which detox program is to use.
Have you ever heard about Toxic Stress Cycle? Toxic stress cycle is recycling of toxins by every organ of your body at the times when the liver is so toxic and has limited capacity to neutralize toxins that it needs help. The cycle begins when an overload of toxins is passed from organ to organ in the body until either detoxification happens or degeneration sets in.
The digestive system is the place where the toxic stress cycle starts. The toxins are produced in the bowel when the food we eat is not properly digested. These toxins travel from the bowel to the liver. Because the liver is already overloaded with the toxins, it passes them through the veins into the rest of the body. From this point on, some toxins may be secreted through the skin, kidneys and lungs, others will be stored in the bones, hair, muscles, lymphatic tissue, heart, and fat.
When the toxins are stored in your body, they affect energy production as well as hormone and enzyme function. As a result, the body finds it difficult to fight free radicals, because the cellular functions are impaired.
To interrupt Toxic Stress Cycle make sure to improve your digestion. Poor digestion sends toxins to the colon and then to the liver. Take colon cleansing and liver detoxification supplements, eat more raw foods and consume less alcohol. It is better to start cleansing with a colon cleanse. I recommend to use Ultimate Colon Cleanse.
