Fasting and Detoxification: And Your Health

Centuries ago, before medicine, drugs, pharmaceuticals, and alcohol - often the culprits behind a body that is sick today and destroying bodies from within - there was not nearly the need to detoxify and fast. As disgusting as this may sound, our bodies usually are stronger and capable than we give them credit to be, and its our own behavior that lead to poisoning our bodily cells and unnecessarily suffering, robbing us of our life. Did you know that your body has an absolutely amazing ability to detoxify itself? It's a fact and it's a good thing too, because most consumers eat or absorb a seriously high amount of dangerous toxins and ingredients that in effect, begin choking your body, on a fairly regular basis.

If you eat a fresh healthy diet, are interested in pursuing a healthy living and you do not smoke or drink alcohol in excess, your body is better equipped to cleanse, detoxify and get rid of the toxins - in fact, you may be absolutely oblivious to the potentially hazardous that you are eating regularly - that you eat all day long: breakfast, lunch, dinner and all snacks or meals in between. If you currently smoke or your diet is largely made up of fast food, processed ingredients, artificial ingredients, international cuisine, foods from questionable environments, or the American favorite, junk food, your body is likely overtaxed and desperate for help.

Feeling tired constantly to the point you think you might have 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CFS', you are experiencing constant lapses of forgetting things, lack of focus, or perhaps, you often are sick, catching a flu, susceptible to allergic reactions, and catch almost any virus that surfaces where you work, you may very well be in desperate need of a health check-up, tune-up, some easy fasting and detoxification, the almighty cleanse or a quick body detox, or worse, you might need a complete health overhaul.

Individuals with such symptoms definitely would benefit from learning about ways to detoxify your body.

Many who have adopted a regular routine of fasting and detoxification, either just one of the two or in combination, have testified to renewed energy, a clearer head, feeling better, boasting to their doctor with astonishing turnarounds, but the benefits of fasting and detoxification are many, and there simply is not enough room to list them all here, in this arena.

Yes, there are a whole bunch of health benefits to going through a fast or body detox, but there are also side effects and to be frank, they can be deadly if you are not mindful and ignore such 'medical', or health warnings. That's no joke. Many are quick to publish and print in health magazines, health forums, or health articles about fasting and detoxification benefits pulled straight from the news, too often labeling such a natural remedy as the "best of the best" diet pill, or the magic bullet in a bottle, so to speak, that will cure all aches, pains, ailments and health problems from head to toe.

But, few even realize, perhaps why the so called experts rarely ever bother to mention the negative side, or the dangers when completing or during a body detox - in all honesty, it can lead to your death - killing you, if you aren't crystal clear about the word "death".

There are a lot of people claiming that going through detoxification will solve anything and everything. This quick, little health article about fasting is only the beginning;
