The Paleo Detox
With the Paleo diet you'll also be eating organic
produce and meats that are raised free range and without antibiotics and hormones.
You'll be eliminating pesticides, herbicides, and
other additives that are toxic to the body.
When you eliminate these toxins, your body responds in a beautiful way.
First, you should know what happens when you take in toxins.
Your digestive system does a great job of trying
to eliminate them.
But in today's world, there are so many toxins that get ingested the digestive system just
can't eliminate them all.
In order to keep you safe from the effects of the
toxins, your liver will direct toxins into fat cells.
There they're stored and kept away from the rest of the body.
This system works to protect you from the acute
effects of the toxins, but the result is you have
more and more fat cells to do the job. That means even if you're watching what you
eat, you might be developing more body fat --
especially around the belly.
As you follow the Paleo diet you'll stop putting these toxins into your body.
As a result, your body will be able to flush out
the toxins it's been storing. In fact, you might
actually notice that you're achy or feel a little
under the weather early on.
This is a sign that your body is releasing toxins
and isn't something to worry about. Within the first couple of weeks this
detoxification will ease and you'll start to feel
more energy.
As your body releases toxins and you stop taking in new ones, you'll be changing the
state of your entire physiology.
You'll be reducing inflammation in the body which can help you to reverse problem such
as: Arthritis, Chronic fatigue syndrome,
Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Heart disease, and Aging
You'll also be adding many antioxidants and healthy fats to your diet.
This helps you to reduce cholesterol levels, have smoother skin, and shiny hair.
The Paleo diet is also very low in salt. That helps you to maintain healthy blood pressure.
This diet is one that provides you with lot's of
energy. You'll also enjoy seeing your health improve
over time. And once you get the hang of the diet, it
becomes easy to follow for a lifetime, rather than just a diet fad to lose a few pounds.
