48-Hours Liver, Colon and Kidney Detox (Remove All Toxins and Fat from The Body)

People have been following the process of body detoxification for thousands of years. It has its place in the form of fasting, not only in the writings of Hippocrates but it has also been practiced in different religions, helping with the improvement of overall health. Today, people rely on detox diets for weight loss. But care has to be taken because when you fast by supplying a low amount of calories to your body, you could be starving. This will slow down your metabolic rate and you will start losing key nutrients. Some of the other effects can include fatigue, dehydration, giddiness, nausea, and even damage to the colon.

Your Body’s Detoxification System

Do you know that we have our own detox system working automatically within our bodies? This system comprises your kidneys, liver, and colon. The toxins are first filtered by our liver. The organ will remove the toxins from food, preventing them from entering our blood. Colon is home to different types of bacteria that produce different compounds. It will eliminate toxins to protect our bodies. Our kidneys work round the clock filtering our blood. The toxins are then removed from the urine. So when it comes to relying on a detox diet, make sure that your body is getting the required nutrients. This powerful 48-hour weekend detox program has been recommended by none other than the famous Dr. Oz. The focus is to take foods that improve the functioning of the above-mentioned 3 organs. Take these recipes for 2 days.
