It’s not too soon to be planning your next year’s detox diet. So many people have been begging and pleading with Dr Ritamarie and Tera Warner for another amazing 6 week deep tissue, raw food detox diet program that they have agreed to run one in January.

Although, according to Chinese Medicine and other authorities, Spring is the best time to detox many people feel in the mood and are most motivated to make changes in January. After the excess of the holiday season many people feel they need to detox. If you are tired, miserable, aching or overweight you are toxic!

Every year we hear the same old thing. In January when the newspapers and magazines are full of detox and weight loss diets, some outspoken doctors and dietitians are saying it’s a waste of time, effort and money because your body detoxes all the time.

Toxin overload

Well, your cells do try to detox themselves every day. You liver, the major detox organ, detoxifies many chemicals and other toxins that get into your body through the water you drink, your food, the air you breathe and products that you put on your skin.

But, researchers have discovered that a huge number of chemicals get stored in our bodies. They are in your blood and fatty tissues interfering with how your cells function. Your body gets overwhelmed with our modern world chemicals you cannot avoid these days however hard you try. You liver simply can’t cope any more with the incredible volume of toxins in our modern day world.

Industrial wastes, hormone disruptors in plastics, formaldehyde and insect deterrents in carpets, VOCs in paints and varnishes, pesticides on your food … are just some of the toxins that undermine your health.

Toxins cause many health problems

Some of the very latest published research confirms that there is a link between the level of the Bisphenol A in your urine and the risk of diabetes, heart disease and liver disease. This is a toxic substance that is used in the production of drink and food containers, food can linings and babies bottles. It leaches from the plastic into your food and water and gets into your body.

It is also known that chronic exposure to the herbicide Atrazine causes insulin resistance, and dysfunction in the mitochondria, the little powerhouses of your cells that produce energy. Insulin resistance is involved in Diabetes Type 2, weight loss problems and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Other research shows that toxic metals such as mercury, lead, or cadmium interfere with the way energy is produced in your cells which correlates with the increased risk to various chronic diseases.

Latest research proves detox works

Researchers have shown that detox, when done properly, results in real health changes. Blood tests prove that biochemistry changes and liver detox pathways improve.

If you have real health problems a short detox is not enough to turn your health around. You might get the “feel good factor” but a properly designed detox program will really dissolve and eliminates the toxins that have been lingering in your body for years!

Fruit and vegetables and their juices have figured high in detox diets and detox diet recipes in many health systems for thousands of years.

It turns out that your Mom was right when she said, “Eat your vegetables.” Vegetables are healthy for all sorts of reasons. They are nutrient dense -full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, natural plant chemicals that have many beneficial effects on our health, and fiber. You can understand why they are used in detox diets recipes.

These days we have such a huge choice of vegetables that it is impossible to say you don’t like vegetables. It is so easy to get plenty of variety in your detox diet.

Non starchy vegetables are low on the glycemic scale. This means that they do not trigger insulin so are great for diabetics, insulin resistance (Syndrome X), healthy weight loss and maintenance as well as for detox.

Researcher have discovered that certain substances activate the 2 detox pathways of the liver known as Phase 1 & Phase 2.

The foods that activate Phase I pathway are:

Cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
Oranges and tangerines (but not grapefruit)
Caraway and dill seeds.
High protein foods

Foods that activate the Phase 2 pathway or help supply nutrients that are involved in this pathway are:

Cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy cress, mustard, horseradish, turnips, rutabagas (swede), kohlrabi, red beets(beetroot), asparagus, avocado, walnuts.
Foods containing limonene – oranges, tangerines and their peel, caraway and dill seeds. watermelon, papayas and avocados.

An abundance of fruit and vegetables help to supply the nutrients that the liver needs to transform the toxins into substances that the the body can get rid of more easily.

Animal proteins are usually excluded as they take a lot of energy to digest. By using lighter and more easily digested foods more energy can be put into detox.

It is natural at this time of the year to make resolutions to get fitter, slimmer and healthier and many people embark on a detox diet hoping to shed a few pounds or feel less congested after the excesses of the Christmas and New Year festivities.

But with newspaper reports that Dr Andrew Wedge, the Government Chief Scientist at the Food Standards Agency UK, has posted comments on their blog that detox is a lot of nonsense you might be forgiven for wondering if its worth the bother of following a detox diet at all.

Although Dr Wedge correctly states that we have a very good inbuilt detox system called the liver he conveniently seems to forget or ignores the fact that most people do not treat their livers well.

The liver does an incredible job trying to cope with the daily function of neutralizing and eliminating toxins that come from within our bodies as well as from withoutbut it can become overwhelmed. We are constantly bombarded with chemicals from air pollution inside our homes as well as outside, toxins from food and the water you drink.

Yes, the pollution in your home is worse than the pollution out side according to Professor Burchett of the University of Technology , Sydney.

And yes, tap water is toxic too. A recent report from the Royal Society of Chemistry revealed that improved testing procedures showed that tap water does contain potentially harmful chemicals that are unable to be processed by current water treatments. So drinking tap water as Dr Wedge recommends will add to the liver’s detox burden.

Sophisticated laboratory tests show that many people with chronic health problems and symptoms that doctor’s cannot put a name to are suffering from poor liver detoxification. Researchers have shown that their symptoms and health can be improved by eating certain foods and taking certain nutrients that help support the liver detox pathways.

Blood tests performed at a number of laboratories agree that we are all full of potentially dangerous chemicals that our livers have been unable to detoxify. The fact is that our livers are strugging to cope with the amount of chemicals it is presented with every with every day.

Detox and cleansing centers and research facilities worldwide have proved that peoples health can be improved with carefully designed detox plans. The success of the New York detox program for the 7/11 rescue workers who were suffering the effects of toxic chemicals is but one example.

Dr Wedge is right when he says that there are lot of supplements on the market that are a waste of money. One day detox supplements are not going to do much for you except maybe kickstart you on a better diet. To detox any significant amount of chemicals from your body takes time and effort.

Although, according to many authorities, the best time to foloow a detox program is springtime if you are feeling sluggish and congested after the holiday season then you are likely to feel better if you eat lightly, drink pure water and and get some exercise to increase blood circulation to the liver.

But if you suffer with chronic health problems or niggling symptoms then following a good nutritionally balanced detox program can often bring about real improvements.
