Post Detox

So you've just finished the detox, you're ready to go grab a big meal deal and make up for the last week? Lets hope not,  but if so, think again.

The few days after detox are critical and can cause lots of discomfort if you jump straight back into eating.

As important as detoxing itself is, it is just as important to work your way back to eating normally. Your digestive system has just had a rest for up to 14 days and it is important that you gradually re-introduce food in an easily digestible form and eventually re-introduce solids.

DAY ONE: stick to fresh fruit and vegetable juices and pureed vegetable soups. Drink plenty of water! You may also drink herbal teas.

DAY TWO: drink fresh fruit and vegetable juices and soups again, try some brown rice and steamed vegetables for dinner.

DAY THREE: today you can try some porridge or muesli for breakfast, you can now start eating solid foods, preferably still stick to fruits and vegetables today.

From day four you should be able to start eating 'normally' but make sure you make all of your hard work worth it and eat a healthy, whole and balanced diet! Avoid sugar and processed foods. Include plenty of colourful fruit and vegetables, lean meats, fish and wholegrains in your diet.


There are also plenty of products which you can add to your diet which can be a good option to help maintain your health and continue your detoxing efforts to prevent such a large build up of toxins. Lemon Detox Express, helps to cleanse the liver, and maintain general health and wellbeing. Bee Pollen is also an excellent, all natural supplement to include in your diet on a daily basis, particularly after the detox. 
Bee Pollen is extremely nutrient rich and comprised of approximately 27 minerals, 18 amino acids, 17 vitamins, 20+ beneficial fatty acids and 11 enzymes/co enzymes. 
For adults, we recommend one teaspoon, taken twice a day over the period of at least 1 month.

Lemon Detox Express

Lemon Detox Express is a formula to assist in the detoxification of the liver.
This powerful liver tonic contains potent antioxidants which help fight harmful effects of free radicals all throughout the body.
Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons, this makes them highly reactive and often they cause damage to the surrounding molecules. Free radicals are found everywhere and are a normal part of life, but at this point, they are constantly increasing in our environment, putting more unnecessary strain on our body. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals by donating an electron which stabilizes the molecule, some antioxidants can be made by the body, but you can also consume them through food or supplements.

Lemon detox express helps:

  • liver detoxification
  • liver and gall bladder function
  • support peripheral circulation
  • decreasing risk of cell damage
  • maintenance of general wellbeing

Many of our customers like to use Lemon Detox Express after doing the Lemon Detox diet, as a health maintenance program. Otherwise, people add it to their regular diet by taking 2 tablets per day, it is as simple as that.

The ingredients include:

Ascorbic acid - Vitamin C: Our bodies cannot store ascorbic acid to any extent and replenishing it as regularly as possible is crucial. Vitamin C is essential for
the proper function of the immune system by supporting the activity of the white blood cells and antibody response. Vitamin C is necessary for the manufacture of collagen in the body. Vitamin C also aids digestion, so important during a weight loss program. Vitamin C is also an important nutritional antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It protects the body from the damaging effects of free radicals.

Silybum marianum:Known as the Liver Tonic King, Milk thistle extract is a hepatoprotective herb, which supports detoxification of the liver and normal liver function. It is a proven liver tonic which assists in the detoxification process. Milk Thistle is also an antioxidant herb which assists in decreasing the risk of cell damage attributed by free radicals. Milk Thistle also supports the regeneration of liver cells.

Taraxacum officinale extract: Traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to help treat digestive disturbances and to help increase bile flow.

Foeniculum vulgare: The Fennel seed herb has also traditionally been used in colon cleansing and body detoxification. The seeds from this herb can expel toxins from the body by way of diuresis and diaphoresis, meaning the herb will increase urination and perspiration (two of the mechanisms used by the body to purge itself of toxins).

Senna extract: Senna has for thousands of years played a major role in herbalism and in folk medicine. Senna extract has traditionally been used in herbal medicine to aid digestion and help to increase bile flow. It is a mild laxative with purgative properties and also acts as a stimulant which reduces a dieter’s appetite.

Rhamnus purshiana: Also known as Cascara Sagrada, or the ’Sacred Bark’ has traditionally been used in herbal medicine to aid digestion and help to increase bile flow. The dried, aged bark of this tree has been used continually for at least 1,000 years by both native and immigrant Americans as a laxative.

Psyllium husk: Psyllium has medicinal properties that work effectively to treat both diarrhoea and constipation. This herb seed infusion works similar to a sponge that absorbs toxins present in the stomach and makes the toxins expel when you have bowel movement. Its main benefit however, is in preventing constipation and promoting colon health. The natural fiber in Psyllium increases the weight of our bowels, and acts as a safe laxative. Psyllium increases the feelings of fullness in the stomach after a meal, and as a bulk forming laxative, promotes bowel regularity and excretion of fat in stools, thereby preventing its storage in the body.

Capsicum annuum: Capsicum annuum has traditionally been used in herbal medicine to help support peripheral circulation and aid digestion. Its supports the movement of blood through bodily vessels as a result of the heart’s pumping action.

Taurine:Taurine is a main ingredient in bile and aids in the digestion of fats and the absorption of vitamins that are fat soluble. It is a necessary acid that our body produces naturally. Bile acids have an important role in the emulsification of dietary fat.
