The 3-Day Detox Plan

There’s no substitute for a balanced diet and regular exercise if you want to achieve optimum health. But sometimes we all need a kick-start to get our bodies back in gear. Whether you overdid it at the weekend or you’ve developed an unhealthy relationship with sweet treats, or you simply want to reboot your healthy habits, a quick cleanse is the perfect way to spring-clean your body.

In excess, sugar, bad fats and salt can leave you feeling bloated, sluggish and grumpy, prompting you to pack on the kilos and leaving your complexion looking weary. There are also more serious effects: it’s thought that stressing out your organs can increase the risk of autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalance, allergies and depression.

Committing to a detox may seem like a lot of time and effort, but the rewards are well worth it. In fact, the results of tucking into a clean diet are amazing.

Research by Harvard University in the US reveals that upping the amount of fruit and veggies in your diet over time can slash the risk of certain types of cancer and protect against heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Plus, if you follow our three-day detox, you’ll drop anywhere up to 3kg, feel less bloated and your skin will get that gorgeous glow back. You’ll also be brimming with energy and feel focused and happy – what’s not to like?

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

What exactly is a detox? The body has many different channels of elimination: the skin and liver, which are the body’s largest organs, as well as the lymph, lungs, colon and kidneys. These organs are primed to get rid of toxins on every day. Chemicals and other nasties we eat or breathe enter the bloodstream and are broken down and filtered. It sounds simple, but the process is complex.
