In this age where we expect everything to happen as quickly as a Facebook post or Twitter feed, many people find difficult to actually wait for anything. This is especially true when it comes to losing weight, getting healthy and reversing disease. Unfortunately when we talk of the human body and its many intricacies, the one thing we cannot do it speed up the process.

Removing toxins is a process and it is not one that can be sped up simply because you are ready to get healthy now. The quickest route to success in detoxifying is patience. You will need to be patient when food cravings hit, or when you really want a smoke or a cocktail or else you will succumb to those cravings.

Then there is the whole ‘lifestyle’ factor that you have to consider.

Like all chronic illnesses you may just feel as though your symptoms have come from out of the blue, but it has been steadily building up over time and you simply haven’t exhibited any symptoms. This is the way in which chronic illnesses work; no symptoms present in the early stages. Now that you have been exhibiting symptoms you are prepared to treat them, but are you prepared to do what it takes to reverse those symptoms?

People choose to detox for many reasons, most of them related to looking and feeling better. In fact some of the most popular detox diets serve no other purpose than to help people lose weight quickly. But the reasons to detox you should be looking into serve a more internal purpose.

If you are new to natural detoxing then you probably have no idea about the types of foods that should be in your diet. I always advocate raw and organic fruits and vegetables, either whole or in liquid form rather than kitschy foods like kale chips and sweet potato fries.
