As well as deciding which detox programme is right for you, you must also establish when and how often you will detox. It is best to choose times when and you are able to rest and unwind in a natural environment. As such, weekends and holidays are ideal.

All of us would benefit from at least two longer detoxes every year; more if we are dealing with health challenges. When it comes to scheduling all this, it is wise to look not only at your own calendar, but also at a lunar calendar, as certain phases of the moon favour detoxification while others do not.

In the words of Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe in their book Moon Time: "The waning moon detoxifies and washes out, sweats out and breathes out, dries, consolidates, prompts to action and the expenditure of energy."

The body's capacity for detoxification is at its highest each month on the day of the new moon. Choosing to consume only juices or light meals of raw fruit and vegetables every new moon is a great health habit to get into. It is also advantageous to do this, or at least eat a very clean diet, on the day of the full moon, for the opposite reason: this is the day on which the body's capacity for absorption is at its highest.

Your two opportunities for super-powered detox

Each year there are two periods when your body's capacity for detoxification is greatest of all: the two equinoxes, spring and autumn. This knowledge has existed in all civilizations since ancient times, but it is largely lost in the modern world where it's possible - and not unusual - to live as if seasons did not exist.

If you want to help this process, at the very least make the equinoxes themselves - March 20 and October 22 - detox days. And if you are feeling extra motivated, remember that according to Chinese medicine, the window of opportunity extends ten days before and after each equinox.

Top 5 Ways to Cleanse Your Body

1. Remove toxic foods that clog your body!
This seems pretty obvious yet most people have no idea which foods are actually toxic to their body. Start off by limiting (or ideally removing) dairy, refined sugar and starches, and stimulants like caffeine.

2. Alkalize your body
Incorporate more greens into your diet in order to raise the alkalinity level within your body. There are numerous benefits for doing so but none more important the simple fact that your blood needs to be slightly alkaline and that cancer does not grow in alkaline environments. Greens can come in the form of salads, green juices or smoothies, and superfoods like green barley grass or wheat grass.

Alkalizing foods are also the most cleansing for your body as they are very water-rich.

3. Drink plenty of water
Water is essential to flush out toxins. This is especially important if you are following a cleansing diet as many toxins will be coming out of hiding and may produce various detox symptoms. Water will quicken the removal of this "waste" and clean out your body's pipes.

4. Sweat it out!
One of the ways we detoxify is through sweat. Therefore, anything activity that will induce a good sweat is helpful. Working out, running, hot yoga, or even sitting in a sauna are great ways to open your pores and expel unwanted toxins.

5. Support your liver
The liver is the major detoxification organ in your body. Too often, most peoples' livers are heavily toxic due to poor diet food choices and other lifestyle stressors such as drinking, smoking, and high levels of stress.

Try starting your day with a glass of lemon water - a very good cleanser of the liver. Other liver supporting nutrients can be derived from drinking dandelion root tea and eating antioxidant rich foods like berries and pomegranate.

Remember, detoxification naturally occurs on a daily basis. So too does toxin production. However, you choose which one will be more prevalent.

We detoxify and cleanse for health, vitality, and rejuvenation.

We cleanse our body to clear symptoms, treat disease, and prevent future problems. A cleansing program is an ideal way to help you re-evaluate your life, make changes, or clear abuses and addictions. Withdrawal happens fairly quickly, and as cravings are reduced you can begin a new life without old addictive habits or drugs.

Detoxification is also helpful for weight loss, although this is not the primary purpose. The body stores toxins in fat cells. When you cleanse your body these toxins are more easily released from their fat stores. Since you then become less toxic, your toxin stores (the fat) are not as necessary and, thus, your body can rid itself of excess, unnecessary fat.

Weight loss also occurs on a cleanse simply because there are fewer calories being consumed. Since weight loss boils down to creating a caloric deficit, eating less overtime is a simple way of losing weight.

We also detoxify and cleanse to rest and heal our overloaded digestive organs. This is often an overlooked, yet very important, area considering optimal health truly begins with the health of our digestive system.

Aside from the internal health benefits, detoxification can also be a great catalyst for external change. For instance, it can provide a great opportunity to reflect and re-evaluate what’s most important to you. It can serve to help you cleanse your house, your work, your relationships. After a cleanse, you will even feel more organized, more creative, more motivated, more productive, more relaxed, and more mentally focused and clear.

So, if you want more energy, greater vitality, more youthful and radiant skin, and greater health for life, then cleansing should be a regular (annual or semi-annual) part of your life.

If you have been gaining weight and having difficulty losing the extra pounds, then you may wish to detox for weight loss.

Your body is equipped with several systems to help it detox naturally. Though, today’ s stressful lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits often overburden your natural system.

Your body just cannot keep up with the amount of toxic matter flowing through it. Conventional food such as sugar, sweeteners, meat, dairy, and baked goods have something in common - they all are toxic foods that will to keep you fat, lethargic, and most importantly, unhappy as long as you keep eating them. Not to mention toxic chemical substances.

Toxicity and Acidosis are Serious Problems.

Toxic waste begins to accumulate and the balance of your body is disrupted. The signs of imbalance are visible - you end up being overweight, having little energy, poor digestion and a poor immune system to name just few. If you never cleanse your body and keep eating a poor diet, over the years your body reaches what is know as its “toxic load.”

How 'toxic load' relates to the weight gain?

Where does all these toxins acid end up?

Your fat cells!

Fat cells are your body’s way of storing excess energy and toxicity.

For example, if your diet is very high in sugar, and therefore very high in acid, your body will do whatever it can to pull that acid away from your vital organs and into your fat cells. This is a defense mechanism used by your body to protect its precious organs and delicate tissues.

Dr Robert O. Young in his book, ‘The pH Miracle ’ writes convincingly on the subject. He sees sugar as an acid and as the reason we are so fat, but not as we have been taught. He says that the body has to protect itself from the excess sugar we consume, and so its co-opts fat - to encase it and protect us from it. “fat” he says, “is saving our lives”.

Really?

Storing fat is not the only way that your body deals with excess acid, so if you are thin it doesn’t mean that you are healthy! In fact, it may mean that you are in even more danger because your entire body is in a chronic state of acidosis which means that your body is being destroyed from the inside out!

Can you lose weight with natural body detox or cleanse?

Detox can be a very efficient step for weight loss. Researchers have found that as the level of toxins in the body rises, more fat is manufactured to protect the body. Weight gain is a natural by-product of toxin buildup.

Removing the toxins from the body allows the body to release the excess fat, resulting in a natural weight loss.

A good natural body cleanse will help restore the body’s balance, eliminate the waste building up and make our systems run much more efficiently.

Research proves that during autopsies often find colons that are more than 75% clogged with waste matter. This causes the systems that clean our blood and intestinal tracts to back up. Nutrients cannot be absorbed as efficiently and we gain weight, become tired and irritable. You are in permanent state of auto-toxification. Health issues follow.

Cleaning the colon and the liver often completely relieves these clogs and allows your body to return to optimum functioning. Nutrients are used efficiently and you may find that the detox program has such great results that you simply don’t crave sugar and fried foods any longer. You may also find that you feel so good after detoxifying that you are motivated to eat more carefully.

There are many detox programs. Choose one which promotes natural body detox, holistic approach.
