Dr.

Oz's 48-Hour Weekend Cleanse

Are you ready for the ultimate detox solution? Dr. Ozs 48-hour cleanse will revitalize you from the inside out.

The practice of detoxifying the body to rid it of unhealthy toxins has been around for centuries. Hippocrates recommended fasting to improve health, and many religious groups have historically used fasting as a way of purifying the spirit. Today the marketplace is cluttered with detox diets that promise to help you lose weight, boost your energy levels and more. However, many popular detox diets, especially those that involve extreme low-calorie fasting, can rob the body of important nutrients and place the body in starvation mode, which actually slows your metabolism. Other downsides of many detox diets include: dehydration, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and even colon damage. The Bodys Detox System Oftentimes people dont realize that the body has its own extraordinary internal detoxification system.

Heres a brief look at three critical organs involved: The Liver: Your first line of defense against toxins is your liver, which acts like a filter in preventing toxic substances contained in foods from passing into your blood stream. The Colon: This organ has bacteria that produce both healthy and unhealthy chemicals. You want to keep your colon flowing regularly since its main role is to flush out toxic chemicals before they can do you any harm. The Kidneys: Like clockwork, the kidneys are constantly filtering your blood and getting rid of toxins in the form of urine. For a detox diet to truly work, you need to maintain these three key organs by nourishing your body with the right nutrients. Dr. Ozs 48-Hour Weekend Cleanse is based upon eating certain detoxifying foods that will keep these systems running smoothly. The plan couldnt be simpler to follow so youre not always focused on what to eat next. You'll need to prepare and eat the following meals and snacks two days in a row. To get ready for the weekend cleanse, print out the complete cleanse shopping list and make a trip to the supermarket.

Fermented foods like kimchi (Korean spicy pickled cabbage) and sour pickles are packed with probiotics, the good bacteria that help protect your colon.
