    The best way to cleanse and detox is to stop eating and drinking processed and refined foods.

    Get hold of a liver. Oh, you have one? Great.

    Now just stand there and let it detoxify your body. Partner it with some kidneys and you've got the most efficient body cleanse and detox system known to man.

    There is no build up of bad plaque, toxins, or sludge in a normal, reasonably healthy system.

    If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their small intestines couldn't absorb nutrients. The majority of the water from food and what we drink is reabsorbed through the colon, if our colons were clogged we would all be walking around looking like sponges right?

    Detoxing is ridding the system - liver, kidneys, and intestines of toxins both internal and environmental. Our liver and kidneys aren't clogged with toxins. Otherwise we would be dead. The liver does in fact get layered with fat if we become overweight.

    We "cleanse and detox" naturally 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, urine, and feces.

    We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal processed and refined foods. They are loaded with additives, concentrates, and preservatives mostly in added sugars and salts.

    Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, lean meat cuts, fresh fish, beans, peas, brown rice, raw nuts, and barley keep a system as healthy and as clean as it can be.

    Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.

    Read food labels. If you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your body.

    A healthy high fiber diet of whole fresh foods works every time. Increases the speed and efficiency of the digestive system and helps the body rid itself of both normal internal and environmental toxins.

    Cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.

    Search "gut flora" to learn about the beneficial bacteria we need in our colon.

    We have more beneficial bacteria in our digestive systems than all the cells in our bodies!

    Did you know the digestive system is one of the largest contributors to our immune system?

    Spend your money in the produce department to speed your detox.

    Good luck and good health.
