What Are The Detoxification Nutrients For A Healthy Detox?

A healthy detox requires that you increase nearly all your nutrient intake to provide a buffet for starving cells to feed on. If your nutrient intake does not increase, the body will pull nutrients from other processes to support the detox process. This will cause nutritional deficiencies, including flu-like symptoms, rashes, and more. People mistakenly call these nutritional deficiency symptoms detox symptoms. To avoid symptoms, make sure you get additional amounts of the following detoxification nutrients, which are extremely important.

Protein for a Healthy Detox

Protein will help you crave water to rinse your system. It will also keep your immune system strong enough to handle the extra processes and potential irritants moving through your system as you cleanse your body.

B Vitamins for a Happy Detox

B vitamins are your helper vitamins, so they will help many of the extra processes that will occur. B vitamins help convert sugar into energy, which is needed to fuel the cleansing process, which may be massive.

Calcium & Magnesium for a Relaxed Detox

Calcium and magnesium are used by the muscles to contract and relax. If you cleanse your muscles, they may absorb a lot of calcium from your blood. Calcium is also used by your heart. Therefore, it is important to maintain sufficient calcium levels.

Missing Detoxification Nutrients?

You cannot have a healthy detox if you are missing detoxification nutrients. Without the proper detoxification nutrients, you may feel tired and may want to sleep. You could experience flu-like symptoms as your protein is pulled from your immune system and sent to fuel this detox process. Also, you could have heart flutters. The heart flutters are due to a lack of calcium availability to the heart. Unfortunately, the calcium is pulled away from your heart and sent to feed the muscle cells that were just unlocked and literally starving to death. You could experience cramping if you do not have enough magnesium to help the muscles relax. It is hard to get enough of these nutrients from food without taking in too many calories. This is why food-based supplements are essential.

A Healthy Detox Requires Water Flushing

To promote a healthy detox, you must drink enough water to flush your body several times a day, or you may not clear the toxins properly. The toxins may sit near the organs that released them and can cause pain. Therefore, if you cleansed your:

MUSCLES, you may feel pain in many of your muscles all over your body as the toxins sit there and irritate them.
LIVER, you may feel pain over the lower portion of the right side of your rib cage.
URINARY TRACT, you may feel pain just above your pubic region and/or on one or both sides of your lower back.
JOINTS, you may feel pain in any of the joints that you cleansed.

A Healthy Detox Requires Emptying Your Bowels Regularly

A healthy detox requires that toxins dumped into your intestines for removal be removed quickly. These toxins cannot be allowed to just sit there. If too many toxins are sitting in your intestines, they can begin to irritate your intestines. The toxins can also begin to re-enter the bloodstream. This is called re-absorption. Encourage a healthy detox! Prevent irritation of your intestines and re-absorption; empty your bowels at least twice a day.

Take the correct detoxification nutrients, drink your water, and empty your bowels regularly, and you should experience a very healthy detox.

It is also important to work with a qualified and experienced healthcare professional during detox, as they can help you if problems arise. For more information on this topic, call to speak with one of our specialists.
