We regularly get our Motor Cars serviced to enhance there efficiency. Similarly one must regularly do detoxification of the body. The digestion mechanism of our body needs to be cleaned to enable proper absorption of nutrients from the food. Food that we eat is primarily carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The nutrients required by the body are not in a state wherein they can be directly absorbed by our body. Hence the body metabolism breaks down the food we eat into healthy nutrients that are required by our body. In doing so there are many toxins which are by products. Sometimes our auto immune system is unable to flush them out and thus they may harm us. There are numerous ways to do it.
Every time I searched the Internet, I always got confused with the different methods. I kept trying all methods and finally adopted a very simple one. Water is very essential part of our body as it is the medium which helps in all the metabolism. A simple Cucumber Detox can be made.
Steps for Cucumber Detox
1. Slice a washed cucumber without peeling into circular slices. Take 4-5 cucumber slices and put it in water (Preferably a glass jug with lid). Allow it to marinate overnight.
2. To prevent cucumber slices to float, use a skewer or fork to keep them submerged.
3. Yours next day's water consumption must be from this jug only. Every time you drink water fill this jug again with water. Change the slices of cucumber ever 3-4 hours.
Using these steps with different fruits/vegetables I have made a seven days detoxification guide for myself.
