Fruit Smoothie Recipe For a Successful Detox Diet Plan

Many people find that detoxifying their body is a wonderful way to jump start a healthy weight loss plan

But chemically induced detoxification programs are not the answer! A detox diet plan can be entirely natural and still very successful without the stress of potentially harmful chemicals. A natural detox diet plan relies on large amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables to be effective and a good way to get the required amount is in smoothies. Fruit and vegetable smoothies can be prepared as a breakfast, lunch or mid day meal with entirely natural ingredients.

Preparing a smoothie that flushes out toxins and promotes energy is actually easy. Smoothies can be made from a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, juices and dairy products that contain exactly the ingredients you need to not only boost your metabolism but are also packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and nutrients needed for good health.

You can actually make a large number of different smoothies without violating your detox diet plan. Smoothies made with a wide variety of berries, carrots or even dark leafy green vegetables like spinach have a great deal of fiber which is vital to digestion. Making smoothies with citrus fruits like oranges, tangerines, lemons or limes will help flush out toxins. And, fruits with a diuretic effect include cranberries, watermelon, pineapple, kiwi, or cantaloupe to name but a few. Detoxification does not have to be harsh and make you feel uncomfortable. With the right combination it can be natural and healthy.

There is also an easy and effective way to add even more vital nutrients to both your diet and your smoothies by adding In fact, be sure to add 1 Tbsp of Chia seed to all of your fruit smoothies.

If you are unfamiliar with Chia, it is a natural food source that is gluten free, sugar-free, high in fiber and protein, and loaded with Omega-3's! In fact Chia has:

8x more Omega-3 than Atlantic farmed or wild salmon
6x more Calcium than milk
3x more Iron than Spinach
2x more Potassium than bananas
15x more Magnesium than broccoli
2x more Fiber than bran flakes
6x more Protein than kidney beans
4x more Selenium than flax seed
9x more Phosphorus than whole milk
More Antioxidants than blueberries

Chia has no taste of its own and will mix well with all of your smoothie recipes without changing the taste or results.

Try this breakfast smoothie tomorrow and you will be pleasantly surprised at the additional energy you have throughout the day.

1 cup of frozen strawberries
1 large orange, peeled, sectioned and seeded (or 2 tangerines)
1 lime, peeled and seeded
1/2 cup light yogurt (plain or vanilla is recommended)
1 Tbsp Chia

Combine all of these ingredients in your blender and mix until smooth. Sometimes a smoothie can be too thick because of the natural state or ripeness of the fruit you use. If the smoothie is too thick, simply add a few ice cubes and blend again until it reaches the best consistency.By Jesse L Moore

5 Detox Tips for a Lean Body

Detoxing your body is an excellent way to jump start a weight loss program. Over time, toxins in the air we breathe, water we drink, and foods we eat can build up in the body. These toxins are stored in the fat cells, often causing weight gain, digestive problems, aches and pains, and even skin issues. A detox regimen can help your liver and kidneys eliminate the toxins causing these issues more quickly and effectively. Below we've included a list of five ways you can eliminate toxins from your body and speed up the weight loss process.

Eliminate Toxins
The first step in any detox regimen is to minimize your intake of harmful substances in your diet. This can include:
• Alcohol
• Caffeine
• Tobacco
• Refined sugar
• Saturated fat
• Processed foods

These foods are not only unhealthy they can hamper your body's natural ability to heal itself. Eliminate these items entirely or substitute healthier, more natural options instead.

Hydrate Properly

Most people underestimate the importance of drinking enough water. The average woman should drink around 3.7 liters of water per day, while men should consume about 2.7 liters. This number should be increased if you are following a detox plan or are attempting to lose weight. To calculate how much water you should be drinking per day, multiply your weight by 2/3, or.67 in order to determine the number of ounces you should be drinking each day. You can then increase this by your physical activity level. You should add at least 12 ounces of water for every 30 minutes of work out activity.

Exercise

Exercising is one of the most important ways you can help your body detox. Consider martial art forms such as Qigong and Tai-Chi, as well as practices such as yoga. Your body eliminates waste through perspiration, so any activity that can get your heart pumping and help you work up a good sweat is a good choice.

De-Stress

When you're stressed, your body can produce a number of hormones and chemicals that encourage your body to retain water and reduce its ability to eliminate harmful substances. Furthermore, stress triggers the production of cortisol, which has been shown to encourage the production and storage of body fat around the middle. Engaging in any activities that relieve stress in a healthy way can help eliminate toxins and speed the weight loss process.

Supplements

There are a number of natural supplements you can take that help your body detoxify. Herbs such has burdock, milk thistle, green tea extract, and dandelion root help stimulate and protect the liver, your body's main organ for getting rid of toxins. Increasing your intake of vitamin C can encourages the production of glutathione, a compound naturally produced by the liver to drive away toxins.
