Detox
How to give your body new energy
Detox is intended to rid the body of harmful substances that we ingest over time. If you eat a lot of bread and meat, sugar, coffee and alcohol, you over-acidify your body. The natural acid-base balance is overridden. Our detoxification organs liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines and skin are overwhelmed. Acids are temporarily stored in the connective tissue and instead of breaking them down, the body deposits more and more there. The consequences: Tiredness, listlessness, a sallow complexion, skin blemishes. It can even lead to chronic illnesses.
It's high time to detoxify the body, boost the metabolism and strengthen the immune system. You can read how to do this on idee für mich.
Detox - what is it actually?
Detox is a detoxification of the body. You can think of it as a spring clean that removes impurities. The over-acidified body is fed with bases to restore its balance. The importance of detoxification for the body is therefore great. By definition, detox is not a fasting cure where you completely abstain from food and only eat tea and water. During the cure, you only abstain from foods that are not good for your body for a certain period of time. In addition to coffee, sugar, white flour and, of course, alcohol, animal products are also removed from your diet: Meat, sausage, yogurt, milk - extremely acidic and therefore taboo! Many people who have already tried detox enjoy it and continue to eat healthily.
Acidic foods are passé, alkaline foods are on the table!
Detox is all about alkaline foods that contain lots of protein and nutrients: vegetables, fruit, millet and quinoa, a gluten-free pseudo-grain. Instead of soda and coffee, there's herbal tea, power juices and don't forget ginger water: Ginger water, the detox secret weapon par excellence!
