The cleansing diet, also referred to as a detox diet, was established more than a century ago by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Knowing how important colon health is to the rest of the body, a proper cleanse is an excellent way to help your colon. Over time, waste and toxins tend to build up in your body, especially with the chemicals and preservatives put in food today.

True, cleansing is a popular choice for weight loss, but it has many health benefits in addition to weight loss. After a cleanse, you will have more energy, feel fitter and more in shape even if your body’s total fat doesn’t decrease.

The Master Cleanse

Just one of many types of cleanses, The Master Cleanse is one of the most popular especially for Hollywood Celebrities. Some people also refer to it at the Lemonade Diet. So how does it work? There are certain ingredients you must consume each day and each has a beneficial element. You must fast for 2-7 days with limited nutrition provided by the following concoction.

Here is the recipe:

2 tablespoons Lemon Juice

2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (Grade B)

2 pinches Cayenne Pepper

12oz Purified Water

Why these ingredients you may ask? The lemon juice is used to produce more bile in the liver, trapping fat molecules and allowing them to be easily secreted while decreasing your appetite. The maple syrup contains many minerals and vitamins which you need during a short-term cleanse, including iron, calcium and vitamin C. Cayenne pepper is used to increase metabolism and aid in digestion as well as a good source of vitamins A, B, C, Calcium and Potassium. And lastly, the purified water of course works to cleanse your organs and speed up your metabolism.

You should drink this concoction several times each day, whenever you are thirsty or hungry. You are allowed to drink water, but you cannot eat or drink anything else for 2-7 days. Since there is no fiber, it is important to take some kind of herbal colon cleanser too like the OxyPowder cleansing system.
