If detox diets are bad for you, why do I feel GREAT??

>> Tuesday, April 7, 2009

There have been lots of news stories about detox diets recently, and I've found that opinions are not entirely balanced. Typically they have focused on the negative side effects particularly of extreme detox diets, but they have rarely touched on the reasons that someone should consider detoxing. As I often find with those involved in modern medicine, there is an air of disbelief that our bodies might just be able to cure themselves, if given the right opportunity and diet...

So why should you consider a detox?

  • Do you carry around extra weight that is weighing you down both physically and mentally?
  • Do you feel tired, lethargic, constantly fatigued?
  • Do you feel over stressed, particularly with your inability to make a change that will make you feel better?
  • Do you feel that your body is reaching out to ask you for help? Are you in tune and listening to your body?
  • How do you want to feel in 6 months? 1 year, 2 years? Do you want to continue as you are, or do you want to make a lifestyle change that could change your life?
If you think that a detox is right for you, check out the blogs on this website, and join the new social network of fellow detoxers: http://marthasvineyarddetoxdiet.ning.com/

If you haven't seen these stories - here are 2 that came to my attention:

Don't believe all that you hear, see or read. Get a copy of the 21 Pounds in 21 Days book, get informed and make your own decisions...

I just came across your great site. A lot of valuable information here. Carry on the good work. I know that detox works. I recovered from chronic fatigue with juicing and detox foods. You don't have to starve or crave if you nourish your body with the right foods.

Detox Supplies

Juice of the Day

Carrot, Apple & Ginger

You will need: 1 apple, 3-4 carrots, and a slice of ginger.

Juice the apple and carrots and ginger slice in the juicer. Serve immediately!

Delicious!

This is a juice that I use as a baseline for other juices. To add more "power" try adding the following ingredients:

- Stick of Celery
- Handful of Alfalfa sprouts
- Some kale, spinach, other leafy greens


Soup of the Day - the healthy way!

Butternut Squash & Orange Juice

Split a butternut squash down the middle, and scoop out the seeds and set aside. Wash & dry and place on a baking tray. Place a tablespoon of orange juice in the cavity. Cover with foil and bake in a 375 deg. oven for about 45 mins - 1 hr. Test the flesh with a fork - when its soft, its done! Meanwhile, while the squash is cooking, wash the seeds, removing fibers of flesh, and place on a baking tray to dry. Remove baked squash from the oven and allow to cool. Pour the OJ into a blender, and scoop out all of the flesh into the blender, discarding the skins. Puree the squash, and then pour into a saucepan. Add about 6 cups of distilled or spring water (do not use tap water, as it contains chlorine etc which defeats your healthy mission). Bring to the boil and its ready to eat!

When the seeds have dried, bake them in the oven for 30 mins until roasted. Sprinkle on top of the soup and serve.

Enjoy!
