On average, each woman has in their wardrobe 22 items of clothing  that do not wear them, says a recent study done by a UK retail firm. But ladies do not wish any to throw. Such a gesture would make nearly half of them feel guilty enough that large sums have been spent in vain, claims the research undertaken by the British newspaper The Daily Mail.

Things are not any better in terms of shoes. Every woman has up to six pairs of shoes refuse to wear them.

So ladies clean your wardrobe!

Detox Diet

With so many toxins in the air, in homes, in plate is not surprising that we have our body full of toxic substances that slows and prevent the functioning of the kidneys, liver, lymphatic system and other organs.

Same thought those who created detox diets. For our body to function at full capacity, the toxins must be removed. And the easiest way to do this are detox diets. They involve eating pure food, natural, non-aggressive to internal organs and help to eliminate everything toxic. On the other hand, detox diets are controversial because they impose restrictions that are severe enough, and, long term, the body is deprived of vitamins, minerals, proteins and good fats. But there are such different diets, some restrictive, others more permissive, allowing the consumption of nutrients needed for the body.

There are several types of detox diets: raw food regime (which involves eating uncooked food), diuretic regime (which involves the consumption of natural diuretics to prevent water retention), lemonade-based regime, the regime based on liquid liver detoxification regime. In general, detox diets involve eating organic foods, fruits, vegetables, natural beverages and prohibit all products that contain toxins (fats, E numbers, preservatives, caffeine).

A typical detox diet does not allow you to eat:
  • Sugar: sugar as such, products sweetened with sugar and hidden forms of sugar (sucrose, dextrose, syrups).
  • There are no recommended sweeteners, which are synthetic substances, so toxins.
  • Dairy: milk, butter, cheese, cream, etc..
  • Wheat: pasta, bread, noodles, etc.. gluten wheat, rye, barley.
  • Coffined cola and coffee. Although coffee contains toxins, people who drank coffee daily may continue to consume a small cup each day to avoid symptoms of abstinence syndrome.
  • Also are banned: yeast, alcohol, preservatives, E's, chocolate, grease.
Instead they are allowed:
  • Fruits of all kinds: fresh, frozen, stewed (without sugar).
  • Vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, onions, garlic, green vegetables and tomatoes.
  • Rice: in all forms, preferably at paddy.
  • Other crops: millet, buckwheat,
  • Oil seeds and seeds: flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame, almonds, walnuts. Can be put in salads or consumed as a snack.
  • Peas and beans: in all forms.
  • Oil: preferably extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Spices: all vegetable seasonings (parsley, dill, oregano, rosemary, etc.), sea salt, vinegar.
  • Teas: green tea, herbal, fruit.
  • Other drinks: water, lemonade, unsweetened fruit juice, rice milk.
Water is consumed in large quantities, at least eight glasses a day, and food must be chewed well, especially grains. These are general features of detox diets, but they can differ widely from system to system. As I said some are more permissive and accepting any kind of food as long as it is natural and weak, while others are more restrictive and only accept a certain type of food. Among the very restrictive and include raw foods diet. This means eating exclusively raw fruits and vegetables.

Here is an example of a raw food menu:
Morning: Fresh fruit salad with almonds, oatmeal, pumpkin seeds and fresh sheep's milk, organic.
Lunch: vegetable salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Dinner: Raw vegetable soup (prepared mixer). Fruit, flower seeds.






Very restrictive detox diets should not be followed for long periods of time for a reduced consumption of vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates can lead to malnutrition.

Detoxification = A must!

You clean the house once a week, but when did you last clean your own body? What you read next you won't enjoy it but it is a reality which we must be aware and we have to worry. My goal isn't to keep you a lesson, but please read these words and take action!

The environment is overwhelmed by toxic substances: pesticides, fertilizers, oils, etc.. That goes into the body through the air we breathe, the food and water. Even our bodies produce toxic metabolic waste that must be removed to maintain our health and vital forces. Properly fed and healthy body naturally eliminates these toxins through the lungs, skin, kidneys and large intestine (colon). Unfortunately, over time, due to illness, bad eating habits, unhealthy, and other factors, slows the body purification and the toxins accumulate.

Do you know these symptoms:unpleasant odor from the mouth, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, apathy, fatigue, low energy and dark thoughts, irritability, high blood pressure, bad digestion, bloating, digestive problems?
Constipation, inadequate purification of the intestine causes a number of diseases.

Maybe you did not know, but you must know that human body is a repository of waste and toxins! It's hard to stay healthy if the large intestine is covered with clay.This clay is deposited also at the people who do not suffer from constipation. Even drugs (hypertensive anti neuralgic, anti-inflammatory etc..) poison the body.

We will further explain this essential aspect for our health. Because of bad nutrition, food starch, prepared too, with many proteins (french fries, meat, sausage) the film remains a bowel of faces so-called clay. These deposits are calcify. Also taking place in the intestine of putrefaction and fermentation processes. Both processes damage the body. Toxin Poisoning intestinal barrier is essential to longevity. It turned out that the stuffy intestinal  is the main cause of atherosclerosis. For 40 years because the bowel is petrified feces, lies, pushes on the adjacent organs (liver, gallbladder, etc.).. Surgeons found that 70% of the gut have made deposits with petrified feces, mold and parasites.They're like a chimney stove that requires total cleaning.

The colon is the key organ of the digestive system body purification. Colon also has an important role in the absorption of essential vitamins and fluids. When his functions disrupts or slows down, not only reduces its ability to eliminate waste, but also suppress the normal bacterial environment. Poisoning affects many organs in the large intestine depending on the location of deposits on the colon. This phenomenon is called dysbiosis and if no action is taken, it disrupts the digestion and appear to cause more health problems: diseases of the stomach, thyroid or liver, heart and lung disease, kidney disease, bladder disease prostate.

What is the solution? Experts respond: Periodic Detoxification

Medical experience shows that it is difficult to treat a chronic disease with pain, increased tension, fatigue, without giving importance to detoxification. If there are toxins in the body, even the most advanced treatment methods do not provide a lasting effect.
Detoxification is good to be done periodically at each change of season or at least every six months, autumn and spring.

To eliminate waste and toxins from the body is better to adopt some simple rules for a period of 7-14 days.

  • Do not eat fried or smoked food
  • Avoid eating canned food from the supermarket as much as possible that contain E-numbers: colorants, preservatives and other breeders
  • Do not eat meat and sausage
  • Replace sweets with fruit
  • Drink at least 2 liters of water a day
