Most of the ailments we suffer daily, such as fatigue, digestive disorders, anxiety or repeated infections, come from an accumulation of toxins that hinder the proper functioning of the body. Indeed, the latter faces our lifestyle and external aggression, which is why it is recommended to perform occasional detox treatments.
Moreover, when we want to detoxify our body, we must target the main organs to clean, namely: the liver, colon and kidneys.
These three organs constitute the internal detoxification system of the body and it is their synergy that allows it to self-clean. Thus, the liver's mission is to filter and fight against the passage of toxins in the blood, the colon participates in the evacuation of these harmful substances and the kidneys purify the blood while eliminating the latter through the urine. But when they are overloaded by the accumulation of toxins, their operation is undermined. These include fatigue, constipation, bloating, diarrhea, joint and muscle pain, mood swings, weakened immune systems, rashes, and recurrent infections.
Thus, to stop this phenomenon, it is advisable to carry out a detox cure in order to cleanse and purify the liver, the colon and the kidneys. To do this, here is a detox cure of 48 hours, to plan during a weekend!
The detox cure of the weekend
The weekend detox course consists of a breakfast, lunch and dinner based on foods that promote intestinal transit and elimination of toxins. Among these are fruits and vegetables (prunes, cabbage, apples, black radish, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, grapefruit, carrot, beet), whole grains (buckwheat, quinoa, millet), lean proteins (white meats , fish, eggs) and vegetables (chickpea, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds), condiments (rosemary, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, ginger) as well as specific detox drinks.
Moreover, here are three recipes of detox drinks, to consume during the weekend and for each next detox cure, in order to clean the colon, the liver and the kidneys:
