Detox Symptoms

TYPICAL DETOX SYMPTOMS:

Headaches
Heavy Breathing
Flatulance
Weakness/Fatigue/Dizziness
Fever
Mood Swings
Skin eruptions
Lack of Patience/Mood Swings
Nightmares
Blurred Vision, etc.

Symptoms will depend on how toxic your body is and how you prepare to go into the detox.  You can prepare by slowly eliminating the toxic substances from your diet.  Since the thorn in my side is coffee, I started tapering off on my consumption.  That in turn decreased my desire of other things that sugar makes you crave like alcohol and starchy foods (which can both be forms of sugar once it breaks down in the body).  The funny thing about the body is that the more you feed it the things it doesn't need, the more it will crave it (sugar, salt, caffiene, nicotine and all other forms of drugs). 

In my profession, I tell people everyday that the opposite also applies.  Feed the body what it does need and it will release the excess.  In other words, if you feed the body adequate amounts of water and quality food with nutrients, minerals and vitamins essential for life, it will release the excess weight.  Excess weight can show up as bloating thoughout the body and in the abdomen area, as well as, fat storage. The body thinks it is starving so it holds on to every drop it can.....until you give it what it needs.  Drink more water and eat good food and your weight will drop.

Not rocket science but it presents some people with a challenge.  With Challenge comes Progress.

Peace,
