Description:
The Lemon Detox allows the body to fast a little easier.
The Lemon Detox is a highly effective naturopathic detox and weight-management programme, that may help your body cleanse itself of toxins and may be ideal for supporting short periods of fasting, including the 5:2 diet.
A mix of Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup, fresh lemon juice, water and a pinch of cayenne pepper provides the body with a balance of nutrients to support your body during a fast. Conceived over sixty years ago by the famous Hawaiian naturopath Stanley Burroughs and formalised more recently in the book The Lemon Detox Diet by Dr KA Beyer, the Lemon Detox is now practised in over 30 countries around the world.
Supporters of the Lemon Detox report a variety of benefits including:
- Cleansing the body of toxins
- Weight control if overweight
- Increased energy and vitality
- Shinier hair and stronger nails
- Clearer skin and eyes
- Better digestion
- Greater sense of wellbeing
A true fast involves complete abstinence from food of any kind (usually practised with just water). The Lemon Detox is in effect liquid food – nourishing and energising, as it is important not to burden the body with solid food during the detox as digesting solid food consumes much of the body’s energy and overrides many of its other tasks. In the absence of solid food the body can focus its energy on cleansing.
While the actual inner cleansing and rejuvenation is performed by the body itself, the Natural Tree Syrup and lemon drink fulfils important functions in assisting this process: It supplies the nutrients necessary for the body’s continuing alert functioning, assisting to restore the biochemical and mineral balance in tissues and cells and expediting cell regeneration. It is assimilated directly into the bloodstream, placing no additional burden on the digestive system. It provides a liquid medium essential for the efficient flushing of wastes from the system.
The acidity of lemon juice assists the cleansing process, acting like an internal detergent to dissolve excess fats and the cayenne pepper or ground ginger helps speed up metabolism, thus promoting circulation and the elimination of toxins.
