A body detox diet or cleanse is becoming more widely practiced, especially by people who reach the limits of what the medical profession can do for them.

They begin to realize that the body is meant to be self-healing and start to explore cleansing as a means to healing.

In doing a body detox diet, would a longer one be better?

Ignore any cleansing information that suggests anything less than 3 weeks. You want to allow for a complete cleansing cycle, and begin to form positive new habits.

A healthier you in just 5 key steps:

1 -- No cleanse will work without good hydration. Dehydration is the result of not drinking enough water. Sounds simple, but most people don't get enough water. You need to drink half your weight in fluid ounces, it's best to use filtered water.

2 -- Consume alkaline foods rather than acidic ones. Organic green vegetables are alkaline and they will nourish you during your body detox diet as well. Processed foods, on the other hand, add acid to your body.

3 -- Maximize raw organic food. Multiple studies have shown the number of white blood cells rise when cooked food is eaten. This is the same reaction the body has to disease. Help yourself through the cleanse with a body detox diet of raw and organic vegetables.

4 -- Try drinking only fresh made juices from green vegetables once a week during your cleanse. This is much more doable than long juice fasting and just as effective.

5 -- While the detox diet is vital, so is movement. Your muscles will atrophy without movement and it will be very difficult to eliminate the toxins. From resistance training to a simple fast walk, your body comes alive when you move.

Toxins that have been in the colon and throughout the body are released during a cleanse. How does the body eliminate them?

The body eliminates through all the exits it can find, including the all the skin and the nose. When we define a runny nose as being "sick", we try hard to stop it and in fact hamper the body from completing the process

Make it easy for yourself through the body detox diet. The more you help by moving and sweating, and drinking lots of water, the more comfortable you will feel throughout the process. And the quicker you will start to feel wonderful.
