Better eating is an increasingly important concern.Food is no longer just a way to eat or indulge ourselves, but integrated as a major element of our health, both daily and long-term.
Gluten-free, paleo, vegetarian diet; Consuming organic, seasonal is no longer the prerogative of a few bobos or athletes seeking to optimize their performance. From this growing interest was born the Detox phenomenon. Detox foods, cure … This season, detox is everywhere. Intrigued, we tried our hand at exercise with the cures of one of the pioneers of Detox in Europe: Detox Delight.
What is a detox cure?
There are different types of detox or cleanse, but in general, it is for all to limit the amount of food, to consume only certain foods – most of the time in liquid form –to help the body get rid of toxins.
Detox detractors will tell you that the body detoxifies on its own. Which is not wrong and fortunately! The body naturally eliminates toxins through the liver, kidneys and lungs. Nevertheless, give a little help to your body, limit the intake of sugar that you know is toxic, let your digestive system rest, restore the acid-base balance by consuming only alkaline foods, take a step back from your diet and strengthen your mind – yes detox is that too: A challenge you set for yourself – are part of the many benefits of detox.
The benefits of a Detox Delight cure:
The classic detox: 5 varied juices supplemented by a vegan nut milk in the evening
- Fresh and quality products : 100% organic, vegan, gluten-free, cold-pressed, neither heated nor pasteurized, without additives or preservatives we can hardly make it fresher and natural.
- We don't worry about anything and we let ourselves be guided.For the duration of the cure, no more shopping chores and no need to cook. The juices are fresh and are delivered to your home. A bottle of juice alone contains 2 to 3kg of fruits and vegetables. With 6 juices per day: it is nearly 15 kg of plants consumed daily cure or 75 kg for a cure of 5 days … It's hard to prepare that alone at home. We are sure to fill up on nutrients.
It is also a close accompaniment: a very complete guide containing valuable advice is provided to you with live your detox at best. - Cures adapted to your lifestyle : great athletes, accustomed to detox or for the first time, you will find a detox made for you.
And adapted to your desires, cures: 100% liquid with 6 juices per day for Juice detoxes; for a little more consistency, opt for the Juice & Soup with 1 to 2 soups per day. If you dread the experience, the Juice & Diner is a good option: it includes a real vegan meal in the evening. - A reinforced commitment: a detox is not a sinecure, the temptations are great and the first days are not easy, your will will be tested! Committing in advance to a cure of several days is a significant asset during these moments of doubt.
A week of treatment: let's go!
1 week of 100% vegetable feeding: 5 days of liquid food exclusively followed by two days of fruit and vegetable cure to gently readapt the body. I tested the Super Green detox with a soup.
The first 2 days were the most difficult: feeling hungry, sluggish, at times, we even wonder why we inflicted this! From the third day, thebody gets used to it, the feeling of hunger decreases and fatigue too. On the fourth and fifth days, hunger has gone away and we feel in great shape : lighter and even covered by a pleasant feeling of euphoria. Regarding euphoria, it is a physiological reaction. Deprived of food, the body produces ketone bodies a powerful stimulant for the brain, which causes a trance-like effect. As for the lightness, 2kg less on the scale was not just an impression (1 month after the cure, they have not yet reappeared). The last two days of the cure, we reintegrate cooked vegetables and fruits, and there everything seems better , as if the palate had been refined: the fruits seem sweeter, the vegetables have more taste. I lived in a moment of total ecstasy tasting simple cherry tomatoes. Another physical benefit is a more radiant complexion and more beautiful skin.
Another alternative: active detox with enhanced protein intake for the most athletic
After Detox
A cure is not a miracle cure that will erase in 1 week 6 months of excess, but it remains a very positive experience Because in addition to physical benefits, we feel stronger after a cure: our will is strengthened and we have had time to analyze everything we eat. The end of a cure is experienced as a new beginning, for a healthier diet and lifestyle. An experience sometimes trying but that I repeated in a few months, as the well-being felt after a detox is pleasant.
