IS THERE A NEED TO DETOX??

Many of your reading this blog will be on Day 2 of the 7lb in 7 days program. You may be struggling a little bit wondering what it is all about. You may be doubting yourself as to whether you need to be "depriving" your body of its usual foods. Let me share a little analogy if I may?

Try and imagine a fish tank with a filter attached to it. This filter is keeping the water clean and healthy for the fish. In order for the fish to be in optimum health, they are relying on that pump to keep the water clean. Now imagine that the fish tank has too many fish in it, that they have been fed too much or that a slime has invaded the tank that is rapidly spreading. The filter is still chugging away but it has limited capabilities, it needs a hand here!

Now imagine that your liver is your "filter". With pressures of modern day society ranging from stress, to poor food choices, too much coffee/alcohol, the list is endless for many people. Your liver (your filter) is unable to cope with such an overload. Other organs of elimination come into play. A rash on your skin could well be that the liver is not working properly and hence the skin has to take over in getting rid of the toxins building up in the body. I could go on but I will not as you get my point.

By "detoxing" we are assisting the liver in reducing the burden being placed on it. For one week it is having its own holiday. And just like when most of us come back from a relaxing holiday we are rearing to get on with life and be renewed.

When you sip your next juice, says a big CHEERS to your liver!!
