Stress is one of the major reasons for people feeling tired, and run down resulting in them not working up to their full potential. Thus people should clean up their lifestyle be responsible and eat better so as to build up energy.

Detox is a treatment process that helps to lighten the load on various vital body organs such as the kidneys and the liver. While on a detox, food and drinks such as alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and red meat that may stress these organs are kept out of bounds. Since these items are not consumed, the body builds up energy to remove the numerous toxins already in it. This results in a healthier digestive system, clearer skin, and a general feeling of better health.

However, there are also a few criticisms of the process. It is alleged that detoxing is not a sure shot. Sure enough, detoxing will not completely cleanse your body of toxins; it needs to be combined with other intervention programs.  For example, you also need to examine your diet to find any faults in it instead of simply relying on the detoxing process.  

Detox is actually a naturopathic process that originated in China about 200 years ago. Naturopathic is an alternative method of medicine which is natural, non-invasive and promotes self-healing. The process of detoxing helps the liver to convert fat that is stored in its cells into water-soluble substances so that they can be easily excreted. Detox includes numerous options with timing playing a significant role.

Stress is one of the major reasons for people feeling tired, and run down resulting in them not working up to their full potential. Thus people should clean up their lifestyle be responsible (that is, they should try to be stress-free), and eat better so as to build up energy. They should know what's in the food they consume and be knowledgeable about the importance of food's seasonality and freshness.

Vegetables and greeneries are healthy for the body. Some of the most effective vegetables are garlic, kale, beet, grapefruit and a combination of alfalfa, spinach, and asparagus. A vegetable inspired detox plan can last from a few days to a few weeks. During that time, however, you shouldn’t be surprised if you experience some slight changes in your body functions such as having the urge to go to the bathroom more often than usual, as a result of eating high quantities of fruits and vegetables. You may also sleep less than usual and have trouble falling asleep due to the jump in energy, as your body starts to heal itself. You may feel lighter than usual, even though you may have not actually lost any weight, as your body has less work to do, and you will not feel pulled down by your meals.

Detox diets are not the same as weight loss diets as weight loss, at least in this case, is simply a side effect of detoxing. However, the effects of a detox process are not the same for everyone, and the results may differ from person to person as everyone is unique, and various factors are at play. A few simple ways to detox your body are drinking water regularly; lessening your sugar intake; moving your body around consistently, and drinking a lot of tea. If you like drinking tea, you can even find several types of tea on the market that are meant for detoxification.
