how would you detox and how many days would you do this for

[rozia]

detox, ,meaning a good body cleanse.

[ummmm]

That depends what kind of things you eat on a daily basis.

[askyourgran]

I've heard that colonic irrigation makes you feel good. However detox should be regulated. I've never done it but I imagine that going for weeks at a time would be dangerous, our bodies need a variety of foods for the vitamins and minerals to be healthy. Carole Vorderman has detox down to a fine art, have you tried googling for some tips.

There is no scientific evidence that detoxing has any positive benefits whatsoever.

[rosamundjohn]

sleep would be a good idea in my case......

"detox, ,meaning a good body cleanse"
Sorry, no:
detox, meaning a short-term fad diet

[LoftyLottie]

Daffy is right. It's all a big con. and fashionable.

[DTCwordfan]

think I prefer the toxification.....

[LoftyLottie]

Rojash is right too.

With a proper eating regime the body is designed to cope and cope well. Detox is not good for you and unnatural.

[ladybirder]

I thought your liver did this for you?

[joggerjayne]

A week at a health spa should do the job.

[boxtops]

no more than three days

[ummmm]

It's good for the body to skip meat for a few days...

[joggerjayne]

Skip meat (cough, splutter!!)

Do I look like a rabbit ?????

[jno]

your avatar does, yes

[LoftyLottie]

Agree ummmm, good to cut down on meat on a regular basis though rather than just occasionally. I reckon with eat about 1/4 if that of the meat we used to eat and only eat meat a maximum of four days a week. I just can't eat, and don't want to eat a lot of meat any more.

[joggerjayne]

So it does !!!

Okay, pass the carrots.

[Count-A-Strong]

Thought you were more of a cucumber girl JJ

I detoxed by drinking only pure water, nothing else and eating only fresh raw fruit and veg- felt god awful for the first 5 days ( other things involved there though to be fair and lasted on that diet for 10 days before gradually re-introducing other foods like fish, chicken etc slowly. At least once a month I don't eat anything at all just drink water and always feel better for it.

I wonder, at which stage in our evolution, did some bright spark come up with "oh I wonder what will happen if I lay down on the floor, shove a rubber pipe up my backside, and let it fill with water" ??
