Many people think that the best way to cleanse and detox the body is to do regular periods of fasting, go on a special diet, or drink lots of juice. However, the human body is pretty amazing as it has the capability to remove toxins and impurities naturally through sweat, the kidneys, the colon, and the liver. The best way to help it along is to reduce your alcohol consumption, get plenty of rest and relaxation, keep hydrated, and eat a balanced diet that's rich in vitamins and antioxidants, including fruit, vegetables, nuts, spinach, beans, and wholegrains. Cutting down on your fatty food and sugar intake will also have a positive effect on your body.
What are the drawbacks of a juice cleanse or fasting?
- Juice cleanses and fasting aren't sustainable ways to keep the pounds off. As soon as you re-introduce the chocolates, cakes, and carbs back into your diet, you're likely to put all the weight you lost at the start back on again.
- If you choose to do a juice cleanse or fast, you're essentially prohibiting your body from getting the calories and energy you need for exercising. Unless the juices you're consuming have enough essential carbohydrates, fibre, and proteins, you'll be fighting a losing battle.
- Sugars from juices that lack fibre will often enter the bloodstream very quickly, and this side effect can be harmful.
IKKARI Has Just the Tonic to Support Natural Detoxing
We're inspired by the philosophies of the people of Ikaria in Greece. Ikaria is a small island that has one of the world's lowest rates of middle-aged deaths, as well as chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and their people are less susceptible to contracting dementia. This is because the Ikarian diet is full of lots of healthy fats and fibre-rich foods, as well as whole foods and plant-based meals. Just like the Ikarians, at IKKARI we're guided by the idea that Mother Nature will look after us to enhance our health and vitality. Our experts have made it easy for busy people to access her healing and nourishing ingredients, so you can experience the benefits of an Ikarian diet. Some of our best-selling detox products include:
