Detox Drinks – Restoring and Refreshing
Electing to undergo detoxification is not only in the best interests of your health; it will give your overtaxed organs a respite from having to process toxic wastes left from foods which did you no good. Any good detox diet will have you avoiding all the junk and fast foods which fill you with harmful saturated fats and leave your body starved for real nutrition.
What Detox Drinks can Do
If you intend to begin a detox diet, you will be consuming a large amount of detox drinks which are meant to cleanse your system of both toxins and damaging free radicals. your detox drinks will be made from freshly squeezed vegetable and/or fruit juices, full of the energizing ingredients which will have you feeling and looking younger in an amazingly short time.
Suggestions for Detox Drinks
You can begin your day with a detox drink of eight ounces of lukewarm purified water, to which the fresh juice of half a lemon has been added. If you drink this immediately after awakening, it will stimulate your digestive juices and get your system into gear. You should be drinking at least eight cups of detox drinks and purified water every day not only through your detox program, but on a permanent basis.
Once you’re up and running for the day, you can choose from a huge number of delicious detox drinks, like carrot-apple juice, carrot-veggie juice, or straight peach juice.
Your carrot- apple juice will be made from two or three organic green apples, one organic carrot, a couple of fresh organic basil leaves, and about a teaspoon of freshly grated organic ginger root. You’ll rinse all the fruits in purified water, chop them into small chunks, and feed them into your juicer.
Your carrot-veggie juice will include juice for four organic carrots, a quarter cup of fresh organic dandelion leaves, one organic kale leaf, two sprigs of organic spearmint leaves, and a couple of organic basil or coriander leaves. Once again you’ll wash them and cut them into a size suitable for feeding into your juicer. your peach juice will be made from three rinsed, diced, and pitted organic peaches.
When You Can’t Find Organic
If you absolutely can’t find organic produce for your detox drinks, you can get by with rinsing good fresh fruits and veggies in a mix of one part vinegar to three parts purified water. this will cleanse their skins of all toxic pesticides and herbicides, and chemical fertilizers, although it won’t really take care of the toxic residue they may have absorbed into their pulp. But it’s better than doing nothing.

Deciding on a technique for drug detox depends on whether a person intends simply to clear their system long enough to pass a blood or urine test or they are looking for a way of getting off addictive substances and completely modifying their lifestyle. The more ambitious goal requires rehabilitation. A method of rapid opiate detox was developed at the end of the last century by physicians in Israel. Since then, it has been adapted using safer medications that have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration.
