Cleansing for summer

Spring is well under way and summer is fast approaching. So if you've been slacking over winter, now is your best chance to kick the comfort foods and bad habits and make a change. When the weather starts to warm up it's generally natural for us to lean towards lighter foods and more water, if you're having trouble kicking bad habits, a detox may be your best option to get back on the right track.

Lemon Detox is an effective way to reset your eating habits and get rid of cravings, which can be the biggest hurdle when trying to clean up your eating. 

The 7 day cleanse is the most popular and effective, and the 14 day cleanse is best for seasoned detoxers. If you want more flexibility, the 50:50 cleanse or relaxed version is also an option.

When can you NOT do the detox

The detox is an all natural program and very safe, however there are a few circumstances in which it is not safe.

1. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers - due to the nature of the detox, it is not recommended to undertake the lemon detox while pregnant or lactating. While detoxing, the toxins in your body are released into your blood stream, this can then pass on these toxins to baby through either the placenta or the milk.
2. Type 1 diabetics - due to the high fructose content of the lemon detox it is not recommended to undertake the detox if you are type one diabetic. Type 2 diabetics should consult their doctor before undertaking the program.
3. Medication - if you are taking medication, a doctor should be consulted beforehand to ensure that there is no risk in detoxing. 
4. High blood pressure - the detox is safe to do if you have high blood pressure, the salt water drink should be omitted and replaced with senna tea. If medication is taken for blood pressure, a doctor should be consulted first.

Why the full body cleanse is most effective!

The single most important part of a detox program is not eating solid food. Some people worry at the prospect of going without solid foods, yet such fears are groundless. Not eating may sound daunting, but it is much easier than you think. The Lemon Detox cleanse is based on consuming liquid food. It is not a fast. A true fast is complete abstinence from food of any kind. The Lemon Detox drink, however, is a liquid food, energising the body while you take a break from solid food.

It is very important not to burden the body with solid food during the Lemon Detox program, as it hinders the cleansing process and reduces its effectiveness. Most detox diets that promise an internal cleanse whilst still consuming food will not do as well as complete abstinence from food. Here's why:

Food contains chemicals and additives, so consuming it will add more toxins during a fast. This hinders your ability to release the accumulated toxic build-up present in your body.

Eating requires a lot of energy to digest, assimilate, and eliminate. This is energy intensive, and your body is not able to rest and restore. When you stop eating, your whole body is at rest. This is when the body allows itself to restore balance. In short, your body becomes rejuvenated.

Although the relaxed version incorporates eating a healthy meal per day, it is only a minimal consumption of food and will not dramatically hinder the detox program, compared to detox diets that require constant consumption of solid foods.

Different versions of Lemon Detox

There are 3 main different versions of the Lemon Detox Program

1. FULL BODY CLEANSE

This is the classic and most common version that has been used by thousands of people throughout the world. Of all the cleansing versions, this version is the quickest and most effective way to cleanse the body. This version involves substituting all meals with the Lemon Detox drink. 

Breakfast: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 
Lunch: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 
Dinner: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 

This version can be done from a minimum of 5 days. The ideal duration of the Lemon Detox cleanse is 10 days on the Full Body Cleanse. 

Inventor, Stanley Burroughs recommends doing the Lemon Detox Diet cleanse for 10 days as this will ensure the body is well cleansed. By the time you get to the 7th day you'll most likely feel so good that going a few extra days will be easy.

2. RELAXED VERSION 

The relaxed version allows the body to purify itself at a slower rate, while still taking in some solid food. This version substitutes breakfast or dinner(or even better, both) with the Lemon Detox drink. 

Breakfast: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 
Lunch: Healthy meal 
Dinner: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 

During this program version you should abstain from eating sweets, processed foods, red meat, fried foods, white bread, refined flour, dairy products, coffee and alcohol. These are all food products that tax our natural digestive/cleansing system and inhibit the body's ability to deal with previously stored toxins and wastes. 

The relaxed program works by lengthening the time each night that the body can cleanse. This offers the body more time to rejuvenate. 

But this version should be done over an extended period, at least two weeks, and it should be understood that while the effects of the relaxed version are not as dramatic as the Fully Body Cleanse version, performing the Relaxed Version for an extended period of time will yield great results 

3.THE 50:50 VERSION

This version is a 9 day detox which consists of 

3 days on the Relaxed Version 
3 days on the Full Body Cleanse 
3 days on the Relaxed Version 

This is the easier way to initiate yourself into the detox if you have never done it before. It also suits some people's social commitments better.

The 'healing crisis'

The most important part of a detox is waste elimination; removing toxins from your body.

For this to happen, people will first usually experience what is called a 'healing crisis'. This usually happens on the first 2-3 days of the detox and symptoms normally disappear by the 4th day.

Basically, the healing crisis is when the toxins are being released from the tissues and cells and have entered your blood stream. As the toxins are in your blood stream on their way to elimination people experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, feeling lethargic, etc.

The more toxins you have stored in your body, generally the more severe the symptoms will be. This is a normal part of detoxing and is actually a good sign that it is working. It may be uncomfortable for 1 day or 2, but it is a small price to pay for your long term health!

Alternate mixing methods

You may slightly alter the mixing quantities of your detox drink.

SYRUP
If you feel that the taste of the syrup is too sweet or strong you may add water to the recommended mixing quantities. For example if you want to add another half a litre of water to your recommended 2 litre batch to reduce the concentration of the syrup you may, but just remember that you will have to drink an extra half a litre ( i.e. 2 extra glasses of the detox drink ).Remember the most important part of the detox drink is to consume the three and a half lemons and the 140ml of syrup per day. So, it may take you 7 glasses or 10 glasses but as long as you drink this portion per day.

CAYENNE PEPPER
If you feel that you have put too much cayenne pepper in the mix, you can slightly reduce the amount. An extra pinch of pepper can make the drink taste more zingy. If you are totally uncomfortable with cayenne pepper then you may substitute the pepper for ginger.

Another option customers use is:
1. Mix the 140ml of lemon juice and water together into a 2 Litre batch as required.
2. Leave the cayenne pepper and Madal Bal syrup out.
3. Then per glass of the lemon juice and water drink half a glass of the lemon and water mix then from a tablespoon consume 20ml of the syrup with a pinch of pepper. (You will not taste the pepper that much as it will dissolve into the thick syrup.)
4. Finish drinking the rest of the glass of lemon juice and water.

Transitioning back to normal eating

By doing the detox, you are essentially giving your digestive system a break from it's regular job of digesting food. Upon completing the detox, to make sure that you don't shock your digestive system, you need to ease back into eating regular food. Your 3 days following the detox should look something like this:

Day 1: 

should consist of a combination of:

Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup & Lemon drink.

Fresh fruit or vegetable juice.

Fresh pureed vegetable soup

Herbal tea

Day 2:

Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup & Lemon drink.

Fresh fruit or vegetable juice.

By day 4 you can start eating normally again. However, keep in mind that to keep the weight off, you need to continue eating a balanced diet.

Why You Need To Detox

The body has its own, natural detox mechanisms. The liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, intestines, blood and lymphatic systems all work in sync with each other to eliminate harmful toxins and maintain the bodies balance. Despite this, due to the huge quantity of toxins that are literally everywhere we go, in everything we eat, in everything we drink and in what we breathe, there can be a toxic build up despite the bodies own efficient mechanisms. So in order to make sure our body is in optimal condition, sometimes it is necessary to take matters into our own hands and make an effort to detox.

Toxins are potentially harmful chemical agents that can enter the body through ingestion, smoking and drinking. Not only that, our body produces and takes in waste products through energy production and even by simply breathing. So, it is clear that it is inevitable that you will end up with some sort of toxic load in your system.

There are countless foods that have amazing detoxifying effects on the body and by including them in your diet; you will help to maintain optimal health. However, there really only is one way to completely detox the body quickly and efficiently, and that is simply by eliminating everything you possibly can that puts toxins in your body. Obviously we can’t stop eating, drinking, breathing, producing energy and sit in a purified bubble for a week, so the second best option is to undertake a detox program. There are many different ones on the market of all different varieties. But generally, the idea is to minimise the intake of toxins and minimise the work that your digestive system has to do, so redirecting the blood flow to other areas, assisting in detoxification.

When detoxing, it is normal for people to experience what they call the ‘detox crisis’ where before the toxins are eliminated from your body, they are released into the blood stream and circulate through the bloodstream on the way out. When this happens people may experience feelings of lethargy, nausea, headaches, along with other symptoms depending on the individual. These symptoms generally arise around the second or third day of detoxing. After these have passed, people often experience an abundance of energy, better digestion, among countless other benefits.

The Lemon Detox is a tried and tested, simple and effective detox program. You can commit to it anywhere from 5 days - 14 days and it is very flexible and can be worked around your lifestyle easily. It may be challenging at first but the benefits are overwhelming. It involves a drink replacing all of your meals (the drink becomes your food in liquid form) made up of lemon juice, Madal Bal Tree Syrup, cayenne pepper and water. It is as simple as that.

When it comes down to it, many people don’t detox and they are fine for the moment. However, for health that is better than fine, detoxing will get you there.
