You can detox your body with a smoothie, and get the same effect as using a colonic or a colon cleanse. However, using a natural way of dispelling the toxins from your body is a better, safer way to keep the body functioning properly.
There are people who do too many cleanses. It upsets the balance of the body in regards to the intestinal flora. When you do a cleanse, it destroys the good and bad bacteria in the digestive track. Using a natural way keeps the balance of the digestive tract intact and working properly.
Mother Nature provides many foods that will clean the toxins from your body in a natural way to keep the balance in the digestive system. This will keep the intestinal track working while it cleans out chemicals, toxins, and other waste that isn’t expelled the normal way.
Using a harsh laxative or an enema, especially one that is loaded with chemicals, is just asking for trouble. Your digestive system will stop working until the bacteria are balanced again. Using food from Mother Nature is the best way to preserve the digestion and clean out substances your body can’t or doesn’t need.
Using food blended in a blender helps the digestive tract break down the food easier. What is called a smoothie is blended food with liquid added. There are several ways to naturally detox your body.
- One is to replace a meal with a smoothie detox
-
The other way is to add the same foods to your daily diet
Since the body will detox itself, you don’t really need to add anything like a colon cleanse unless you’ve eaten something like a whole pizza. That’s just too much bread and cheese for the digestive system to process at one time and you could end up constipated.
A normal cleanse, using Mother Nature’s product is much better for your body. It keeps the bacteria balanced as it cleanses.
Replacing one meal with a smoothie detox will kick start your metabolism and put your digestive system into overdrive to dispel what can’t be digested, but to pick up the little stuff in the crevices of the digestive track.
Adding the food to your daily meals will keep the digestive track running smoothly so you won’t need to do a detox. Either way, they both help to detox your body.
