There are literally hundreds of different cleanses out on the market. There are cleanses that target specific parts of the body, such as a colon cleanse and liver cleanse for example. There are cleanses that can be done without requiring you to fast. There are cleanses that require you to fast or go on a detox diet. There are cleanses that require you to go on a juice only diet. There are cleanses that are herbal and natural. Then they are cleanses that centered around weight loss and often use unnatural chemicals offering to cleanse your body fast, these are the ones I recommend we all stay away from
Target specific cleanses do just what the name implies; they target specific parts of our body. The most common ones are liver cleanse, kidney cleanse and the colon cleanse. These typically are done to correct specific symptoms and some of them are not for the faint of heart, like the liver flush. I have never personally done a target specific cleanse, but as I learn more I will write about the on my blog here.
The most popular type of cleanse (next to the master cleanse) is the herbal supplement body cleanse. These are generally the easiest cleanses as they allow you to continue with your normal diet. This doesn’t mean that you can eat whatever you want and still gain the benefits of a body cleanse! These generally come in capsule form and focus on milk thistle and adding fiber to help clean out your system. Milk thistle focuses on detoxifying your liver and can actually aide in the repairing of damage done to you liver. The fiber adds bulk to your stool to help with the passing of toxins and other unwanted material.
Fasting cleanses typically involve removing solid foods completely for your diet for a set amount of time. There are a few different programs often called detox diets, with various juice recipes to help in the removal of toxins from your body.
The most famous of these is the master cleanse or the lemonade diet. The master cleanse had been around for more than forty years. This involves mixing lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper into a concoction that some refer to as spicy lemonade. While popular most who start this diet rarely commit to the recommended length of time, which is 10 days. This is why (like I have talked about before) it is very important to fully commit to cleansing your body before you start.
The last type of cleanse isn’t really a cleanse at all and I recommend you stay away from. These are weight loss cleanses that often have you on a supplement that speeds up your metabolism in an unnatural way. Remember the primary focus of a cleanse is not weight loss, the focus if a cleanse is to detoxify your body.
