You can make your own detox formula at home. Known as the lemonade diet, or the master cleanse diet, it has been around for many years and has proved to be an effective method to get rid of unhealthy substances that accumulate in our bodies. Toxins and free radicals can make us fatigued and lethargic.
Here’s how to make the solution: Put 2 x tablespoons of organic lemon juice, 2 x tablespoons of maple syrup (B-grade) and a good pinch of cayenne pepper into 8 oz of water. Do not change the ingredients in any way. Many people want to know if they can use honey instead of maple syrup. The answer is NO!
You will not be able to eat a morsel of food while on this 10 day diet. So if you feel you are up to the challenge, and mentally ready, then give it a go. You will certainly notice a remarkable difference at the finishing line. This diet can also cure other symptoms associated with toxins, such as aching joints.
The three simple ingredients, when combined, create a powerful detox treatment. The maple syrup will keep you energized, lemons are high in vitamins and minerals, and cayenne is well recognized as a powerful antioxidant. All your glands, your digestive system and your kidneys will get a thorough cleansing.
Here’s what you will have to do for the next 10 days. Every night you must have a cup of laxative herbal tea. Every morning you must drink a quart of lukewarm water with 2 x teaspoons of salt in it. Throughout the day you will have to drink between 6 and 12 glasses of the lemonade mix. You may drink water at any time, but food is forbidden.
If you take regular medication, you must get your doctor’s approval before trying this detox method. While you may notice some loss in weight, the lemonade diet is not designed to lose weight. This diet should be done once a year.
