Any ideas or explanations would be helpful and appreciated.What is a good cleanse???
You could take antioxidant tablets like Selenium...which you can buy at any supermarket or drugstore...
Or you could just go to the store and buy some sort of Fiber to help clean your system out.
Some people don't think that you need to clean your system out while others think it's not a bad idea....
From what I know, and from being in the medical field for 28 years, I suggest cleaning your system out...and here's why....
The foods that we eat today have a lot of things done to them before we actually buy them and eat them....they do put all kinds of foods through radiation to make sure they aren't contaminated....so this will zap out some of the vitamins and minerals that we need...so taking some kind of a vitamin every day would probably be a good idea..I know that I do...and I try to eat right...
Today, they put all kinds of stuff, chemicals, hormones and antibiotics into our food...all of this stuff will, if left in our bodies, turns into a poison you could say...now don't be alarmed, it's not poison in the sense that we are going to die...but if it accumulates in the body, it's not good.
So cleaning out your system is really not a bad idea....
The only thing that I can tell you is to try it, and see how you feel afterwards...
Buying all of your food items in the organic isle of the supermarket can be very costly...and most of us don't have that kind of money to eat that way all of the time...so we buy the other stuff that is available, just like everyone else does...
Hope this helps you...What is a good cleanse???
When you give your body a break from digesting new food every day, it switches into another mode, cleansing and eliminating toxins and residue that have built up over time. This is one of the reasons some ancient cultures used to fast one day a week. It is like turning your car's engine off so that you can clean it inside.
Some do cleanses and find it amazing that after not eating solid food for days, and passing very little, they would on the 6th day, for example, pass a large amount of some rather putrid stuff that had obviously been in there for a very long time!
What is a good cleanse depends on your objective. The Master Cleanse is the best one I know for removing deposits in the joints, for example, and for keeping your energy up so that you can function normally. Paavo Airola's vegetable broth cleanse is excellent for cleansing the digestive sytem and the body in general. These are both quite inexpensive. There are several companies that sell packaged herbs with psyllium for a colon cleanse that removes mucoid plaque that has built up on the colon walls and has been blocking the absorbtion of nutrients (see http://www.ariseandshine.com/ for example). Fasting on pure water alone is great for clearing the mind, centering the heart and contacting your inner wisdom.
I would not advise anyone to do a cleanse or a fast without first reading about it from several authorities who have practiced it themselves. The reason being, that it is very important to stay hydrated and have bowel movements during the cleanse or fast --- and it is even more important to know how to start eating again. You start very slow, because your stomach has shrunk, and gradually work your way back to normal amounts of food. For example, if you did an 8-day cleanse, it should take you four days of gradual increase to get back to eating normally. Also, as toxins are being removed you may find yourself very tired and have difficulty concentrating --- so it is best to schedule your cleanse on days that you don't have to work or keep other commitments.
Edit: for some reason Yahoo Answers is cutting off the web-address for the Master Cleanse, which should end with /ThemasterCleanse.pdf
Your body doesn't need to be cleansed--but the company that sells the drink makes a bundle by convincing you it does.
Eat 5 to 9 servings or fruit and/or vegetables daily, and whole grains. Drink enough water that your pee is always nearly colorless. That's all the cleansing you need.
This is a bunch of hog wash! Your body cleanses itself, that is why you have bowel movements. What you are doing with this diet is starving your body. I have never seen it help your health except you lose a little weight, that you gain right back as soon as you start eating again. If you want to feel better, eat right, exercise and drink lots of water.
The idea of a cleanse is to rest your digestive system and remove toxins from your body. It won't work if you just go right back to eating bad food.
Most people don't need to cleanse for longer than 3 days.
An apple cider cleanse is easy and delicious. Don't use store bought cider. Juice 4-5 apples, 4-5 times a day, and drink plenty of water and herbal tea, if you like it. Three days isn't long and most people find they feel good while doing this.
Best of luck.
