At Home Body Detox Recipes
Everyone experiences the need from time to time to give their body a break and let it detox from all of the pollutants and foul materials that are put into it on a daily basis. If you are looking for some home remedies, there are body detox recipes that have been passed along for decades now. One of these is the master cleanse, which will probably always remain one of those ahead of the pack. This is because it is cost-effective, and it really works in ridding the body of any excess waste material that is hanging out inside of it.
The master cleanse is one of the most popular body detox recipes for a reason. It has endured since 1941, and remains the recipe of choice for celebrities as well as anyone who is looking for a way to quickly shed pounds and rid their body of all of the toxins that have been plaguing them. The recipe is simple. For one serving, you must combine 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup, 10 oz. of water, and 1/10 of a teaspoon of fresh cayenne pepper. This is meant to be slowly sipped. Most people recommend making up a big batch of it in the morning, and then sipping on it slowly throughout the day as hunger sets in.
The master cleanse is a fairly strict member of the body detox recipes, as it does not allow any other solid food or even liquids, aside from a salt water flush every morning that serves as a laxative. One can also drink as much plain water as they want throughout the day to stay hydrated, of course. The combination of the acidic lemon and the detox powers of the cayenne pepper make this recipe a very powerful force.
While you can follow this diet for one day, it’s recommended that for full benefits you stay on this for 10 days. Many other body detox recipes follow the same sort of timeline, because it takes at least a week in most cases for the body to be able to eliminate the toxins that have built up within it over time. This type of extreme fasting diet should only be undertaken once or twice a year, not for prolonged periods of time. It’s not healthy to deprive the body of solid food for longer than 10 days in most cases. When you return to eating solid foods, be sure to take it easy on your body.
