Detox VS Cleansing VS Fasting?

• A detox and a cleanse are just different words for doing the same thing.

• Fasting is a way of detoxing/cleansing the body but the process is not the same.

Detox VS Cleansing VS Fasting?

• Fasting gives the body nothing with the idea that this will force out the toxins.

• Detoxing feeds the body with the ingredients to cleanse itself.


Why Detox?

Many toxins from:

Outside

Inside

Why Detox?

Many Toxins from Diet

•Diet can be full of junk food or packaged food

•80% of packaged foods may contain dangerous chemicals

•Organic vs non organic

-Organic has less toxins but the food was

created on this earth with polluted air and water.


Why Detox?

Toxins from Outside Environment:

•Chemicals in the environment.

•50,000 chemicals in environment.

• About 70 million chemicals have been synthesized and registered.

•Not all have been tested!


Why Detox?

Many Toxins Created From Incomplete Digestion

•Not chewing well

•Bad food combining

•Digestive system undernourished

•Eating heavy foods.

Ayurveda links most health disorders to the presence of Ama (undigested food) views it as one of the greatest threats to good health, both mental and physical.

Why Detox?

Many toxins from Regular Metabolism:

• Metabolism creates energy

• Metabolism = FIRE.

• What is left behind is toxins. (eg carbon dioxide)

• Stress = decreases efficiency = more toxins


Many Toxins from Build Up Of Acid •Acid is a WASTE PRODUCT of various functions of the body, including metabolism. These waste product act as toxins.

•The body gets rid of acids through sweat, urine and chemical transformation(liver).

•IF the body can’t rid of all the acid right away it accumulates in the tissues and organs and causes disease, inflammation and premature aging.


Why Detox?

Many toxins from Inflammation:

• Inflammation = LOTS of fires.

• What is left behind is toxins.

• Any food that reduces inflammation and oxidation will reduce toxins.
