Healthy Dietary Cleansing of the Body
Below you will find a typical and well-written article "Essentials of a Cleansing Diet", about the need for and the basis of nutritional cleansing of the toxins our bodies take in daily. Articles and blog posts like this abound around the internet. They are helpful and informational but do we have the time and energy to read and study them all. Can we refine them to a shopping list and meal plan that encompass all the great advice contained therein?
Of course, we can! However, do we want to take that chunk of time out of our busy lives? A group of scientists and nutritionists have been working on this problem for many years. The culmination of their work can be found in a product available to the public. It is called Cleanse for Life from Isagenix.
The Better Way to Nourish
The main function of the liver is to filter out nasties from the bloodstream and a healthy liver does a great job of that. But the liver wasn’t built with the modern world in mind. Daily cleansing and Cleanse Days lend a hand to your liver to help remove impurities and protects cells against oxidative stress.
Not Your Average ‘Detox’
Unlike many cleanses available today, Cleanse for Life contains no laxatives or diuretics. Using Cleanse for Life in conjunction with an Isagenix System helps move along your body’s natural detoxification process while making sure you stay nourished and balanced thanks to the botanical herbs.
The Flexibility of Intermittent Fasting
We don’t all have the same goals, schedules, or priorities. When it comes to Cleanse Days, there’s a couple of different ways to do it. I have used the 9 Day Deep Cleansing System periodically over the last 6 years. I feel more wonderful after finishing the 9days. I still read articles like the one that follows but my preference is the proven Isagenix System.
Essentials of a Cleansing Diet

The body naturally builds up toxins from the foods we eat (over-processed foods or those containing pesticides), the polluted air we breathe from the environment, as well as alcohol and prescription drugs. Our bodies also get toxins from our bodily conditions such as stress.
One is able to know that they need to cleanse their body because the body will always give signals such as weight gain, body aches, digestive problems, confusion, feeling dizzy as well as persistent skin problems.
It is, therefore, important that one does routine cleansing using food in order to ward off diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
According to Lydia Aisu Pedun, a dietitian, a cleansing diet is essential in clearing the body of toxins, contaminants, and heavy metals that would otherwise accumulate in cells, tissues, organs, and joints or even in the bloodstream and cause health problems thereafter.

“When the toxins are cleansed from the body, the immune system is boosted and we reduce the risk of disease. You will also attain emotional stability and better absorption of nutrients and minerals in the body,” she says.
Fruits and vegetables
Alkaline vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, and kale that can be eaten raw, juiced, or steamed are a good part of a cleansing diet. This is because they promote oxygenation of body cells and aid detoxification.
“Incorporating multi-colored vegetables and fruits is an essential support to the immune system that will enable proper elimination of toxins and regulate body weight. These keep you feeling satisfied for a longer time, and feed the friendly bacteria in the gut to ensure proper digestive health,” Aisu says.
Fiber-rich foods
Foods that are rich in fiber are known to reduce the risk of blood pressure and inflammation in the body.
Lilian Nyanzi, a nutrition research associate at Africa Innovations Institute, says these plant-based food sources also help keep the digestive system clean and healthy. They also add bulk to stool thereby easing bowel movements and help in flushing out cholesterol and other toxic substances from the body.
These foods also help in weight management because they help satisfy the craving for sweet foods and make you feel satisfied for long. This will help reduce the frequency with which you eat and help your body detoxify.
Avoid refined and processed foods
A healthy and detoxifying diet must be low in refined and artificial sugars. Sugars are detrimental to our health because they do not only increase the risk of tooth decay but also damage the liver and increase the risk of heart diseases and diabetes, the more reason to cut them out when having a detoxifying diet.
If one cuts out refined sugar, Aisu says, they can replace it with naturally sweet fruits that will give a double benefit.
Processing foods strips them of their nutrients according to Nyanzi. “If you want to have a successful cleansing diet, limit the amount of processed and inorganic grains and cereals you eat and replace them with whole grains such as wheat, rice, millet, and other starches. If you must have maize flour for instance, it should not be over-processed,” she says.
