5 Day Summer Whole Food Detox

Detoxification is a natural process of the body and it happens all the time without us realizing it, much like how our lungs breathe and our heart beats without us paying attention. The liver, lungs, skin and kidneys are the body's main detoxification organs. Each plays a specific role in removing toxic substances from our system. However, nowadays, it can be difficult for our bodies to keep up. We have overly processed foods, polluted air, water that is not pure or pristine, and our bodies can become overwhelmed. And when our bodies become overwhelmed, those toxic chemicals are no longer eliminated and are instead stored in our body's tissues. The best way to get rid of toxins is to decrease the amount of toxins we are exposed to and give our body a break from ingesting new chemicals and toxins. During this pause, we are able to mobilize existing toxic substances and pour them into the bloodstream so that they can be expelled. In itself, this is a huge step towards healing our bodies. When you combine that with eating nutrient-dense foods and giving our body a break for 5 days, your body can really start processing stored toxins. Now, let's be clear: the program we are doing is very gentle and lasts a quick five days, so it will not completely clean your system. However, five days of eating nutrient-rich foods is enough to help improve symptoms.
