- Stay Hydrated - hydration is so important on a everyday basis, and particularly when you are undertaking a detox. It keeps your body working properly, your metabolism going and helps with flushing of toxins.
- Rest - it is important not to exert your body when detoxing. Your body requires rest so that the majority of your energy and blood flow can be directed to assisting with the removal of toxins.
- Body brushing - use a body brush all over your body, always brushing towards the heart, to increase circulation and assist with toxin removal.

Tips for maximizing your detox
Feeling hungry on the detox
Usually, the first thought people have when hearing of the Lemon Detox is "but won't I be hungry?!".
Generally, people find that they are quite hungry on the first few days, purely due to their mentality. It really is mind over matter, because you are still eating (albeit in liquid form) throughout the cleanse. To curb your hunger, first and foremost, make sure that you are drinking plenty of water. Not only does this help with the cleansing process, but hydration is important. Other options is to drink some herbal tea. Sometimes the feeling of hunger can just be the desire for some variety. If you do choose to have some tea, stick to caffeine free, relaxing teas such as peppermint or chamomile.
If you get to the point that you can't take it anymore, you're about to crack if you don't get something in your stomach, have some freshly squeezed orange juice or vegetable soup broth (salt free). This will hopefully fix your hunger without compromising the detox at all.

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.

A breakdown of the Lemon Detox ingredients
Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup
The Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup comes from the sap of the 'Birds Eye Maple' tree and the Arenga and Kitul palms that grow in the tropics. The Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup is the base and a very important part of the Lemon Detox drink, it provides plenty of energy and nourishment while undertaking the detox.
Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is the second ingredient in the Lemon Detox drink. It is a powerful natural metabolizer, it helps to support and increase the metabolic rate, increase circulatory flow, and aid digestion, all of which make it a powerful detox aid. It also adds a zing to the drink.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is the final ingredient (other than water) in the Detox drink. Lemon is rich in vitamin C, high in antioxidants, supports the immune system and aids digestion and detoxification.
Senna Tea
Senna tea is a mild laxative which is taken every night during the detox program. The tea basically helps to breakdown any solid waste in the digestive system.
Sea Salt
The sea salt works in conjunction with the senna tea. It is dissolved in water and taken in the morning and helps to flush out the digestive system particularly of the broken down waste from the senna tea.

Bee Pollen - After the Lemon Detox
After doing the detox, it is important to ensure that your body is given enough nutrients.
Lacking of essential nutrients can cause irrational cravings, which then lead to weight gain. The cleansing process is followed by a recovery stage. The body must receive (particularly in recovery) all the nutrients that are needed for it to function well. A wholesome diet, as always, is the most important factor to achieve this. To achieve maximum benefits, add Bee Pollen to your daily diet to boost your nutrient intake.
Bee Pollen is one of natures most complete super foods when it comes to its nutrient profile. It has 25% protein, which is a complete protein (meaning that it contains all essential amino acids), is rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements, fatty acids and enzymes, can improve energy and stamina and much more.
It is recommended to take one teaspoon twice a day. Do not heat it. In order for it to be best absorbed by the body, take it via the sub lingual method (putting it under your tongue).

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.

Why natural health is preferred over conventional medicine.
Natural health has many skeptics, particularly when it come to western, conventional medicine practitioners. While western medicine has its positives, it predominantly focuses on downstream treatment (which is treatment of illnesses rather than prevention).
What natural health aims to do is to reach and maintain good health and lifestyle habits which prevent the development of disease and illness in the first place (the top five leading causes of death are now all lifestyle diseases). If there are any health concerns or issues that may arise, nutrition and sometimes natural herbs and remedies are used to strengthen the body and try and rectify the issue.
Natural therapies and treatment is holistic - focusing on the body as a whole, where as western medicine focuses on each part of the body independent of the other.
Which would you prefer?
Lifestyle disease: A disease associated with the way a person or group of people lives.
