Home Detox - This Diet Is the Key

Edited 2009
If carrying out a detox at home, diet is crucial. What we eat is so important for us to say healthy.

Reducing Toxins in our Diet

Much food that we eat contains small amounts of chemicals such as pesticides, pollutants, and preservatives. These create additional work for the detox organs so should be minimized.

Foods produced organically contain fewer of these toxins, which certainly can accumulate in the body. Some of them are known to be dangerous; for many others, they may be very harmful long-term - we just don't know.

So, it is wise to use food grown without chemicals wherever possible. Grow it yourself, or obtain it from friends - or buy organic food. At least you can then be sure that your food prepared at home will have fewer chemicals in it.

More expensive? Yes. But it is worth trying to economize in other areas so that you can use as much organically produced food at home as possible.

Home Detox - Choosing Your Food

My general recommendations for a home detox diet - and for health in general, are;

• Reduce starchy foods (carbohydrates) to a minimum
• Eat reasonable amounts of protein
• Eat large amounts of vegetables
• Eat a large proportion of those vegetables raw (unless you really HATE salads)
• Eat small amounts of raw fruit - especially berries
• Avoid fruit juices
• Use cold pressed olive oil to dress salads (it's green, not yellow, which is heat-pressed)
• If cooking food, use low temperatures in general - steam, boil, poach, cook in a low oven - 250 degrees C, gas mark 1 1/2. In other words, avoid frying, grilling (broiling), barbecues, roasting
• Avoid dairy foods - milk, cheese, butter
• Drink water, herb teas and green tea

There is no need to be extreme when detoxing: it's what you do at home 95% of the time that affects you the most. Any improvement will help your body's natural detox functions.

Now, when thinking about helping detox, let's consider the main categories of food; proteins, starches, fats, vegetables, fruit.
