For a detox plan to be effective, thorough research is need to find the detox cleansing program to suit you best, but many people overlook one of the most vital elements of any plan.
The cornerstone of any detoxifying program is pure healthy water, otherwise whatever else you do will not be enough. We live in times of where our bodies are subjected to pollution on a daily basis, and where recent studies have shown that we have thousands of toxic chemicals in our water supply.
The modern phenomenon of pharmaceutical drugs in the supply was recently highlighted in an article from the AP, which stated that: "U.S. manufacturers, including major drugmakers, have legally released at least 271 million pounds of pharmaceuticals into waterways that often provide drinking water — contamination the federal government has consistently overlooked."
This just the tip of the iceberg and so any detox plan must take this into consideration. To fully reap the rewards of any detox cleansing, our liver and kidneys must only receive the purest water possible to enhance their toxin eliminating functions.
As we ourselves are made up of 70% water, the quality of what we drink greatly affects our health and well-being and the best health investment you can make is to use some kind of home filtration.
The most effective on the market today are multi-stage carbon filters with an ion exchange and a sub micron filter to effectively remove 99% of all the toxins while leaving in essential minerals like calcium and magnesium which other systems like reverse osmosis strip out.
I would like to add a word of caution that the recommended amount of water to drink is around eight glasses per day, as I have seen some detox cleansing programs advocating drinking an extra couple of liters on top of this. This is not recommended and could cause health complications so just find the balance that you are comfortable with.
So I hope you can see that the key to any successful detox plan is to have pure water, not tap or bottled, but toxin free, and then whichever plan you decide on, you will have given yourself a huge head start.
