DIET & DETOX PROGRAMMES:
I believe in the beneficial
health effects of a detox programme. If one considers the amount
of harmful additives that are finding there way into our daily
diets it's no wonder there is an explosion of disease around
the world. Our bodies were designed to handle the removal of
toxins but the sheer volume that is being consumed on a daily
basis is a cause for alarm.
There are numerous diets
and detox programmes available however I recommend the one that
is designed around your particular blood group called metabolic
typing. I am totally against a "cold turkey" approach
as this can place enourmous stress on your organs, especially
the liver and kidneys, and therefor recommend that for at least
7 days before you start you take herbal extracts to start facilitating
a liver and kidney cleanse. Then 2-3 days before you begin,
start cutting back on most of the "sin" foods. ie.
Alcohol, coffee, sugars and breads. Then fully commit to the
detox for 2-3 weeks.
It is hard going especially
if you have bad dietary habits to start with. Start by reducing
your intake of coffee, tea, fizzy cooldrinks, alcohol, fruit
juices (not freshly squeezed) and replace these liquids with
water (and work your way up to 8 glasses a day). By the time
the 7-10 day period is up you should be ready to tackle the
detox programme fully and hopefully avoid the severe headaches
that are commonly associated.
The Metabolic typing
diet, aims at reducing the amount of antigens in your system,
by eating only those foods that are beneficial to your blood
group. There is more than enough foods to eat, so it is not
that difficult.
An excellent test to
perform before you start is called an Indican test and is performed
by most laboratories. After two weeks you will be able to see
the reduction of antigens in your system and provide much needed
encouragement to spurn you on.
The Dermaphend Antigen
Reduction Diet, has taken 25 years to develop as each food antigen
has been mixed with the 4 specific blood groups in order to
ascertain each ones response. It is critical that you only download
the diet specific to your Blood group.
Do not attempt this diet while you are pregnant
and children under the age of 12 should not partake in the detox aspect unless under medical supervision.
