In our daily lives we are exposed to and absorb toxins that are potentially harmful to our well-being and our feeling of "wellness”. Today our environment is toxic and the foods we eat, even the air we breathe and the water we drink is laden with chemicals foreign to our system. Our bodies naturally detoxify to maintain life and health. Every so often we can boost our wellness factor by detoxification programs to help get rid of those chemicals which slow us down, to make us feel better and more alert. Poor diet, chronic stress, exposure to pollution and free radical damage can all have a detrimental effect on our bodies. Years of pollution can build up in our system leaving you feeling tired, sluggish and with a lack-lustre appearance. Working gently in harmony with your body, the 5 flavour 5 day detox program is designed to flush out harmful pollutants that may be damaging your body's delicate natural balance.

The whole of the Detoxification scenario at it's most extreme involves fasting and severe diet regimes, which in our busy lives today we find difficulty in managing, that is find the time for. But as part of a detox regimen of any sort or as a stand alone spring clean the New 5 flavour 5 day detox program by the flavours division of fragrance for you gives that lift we all need from time to time. That is not to say that the 5day program cannot be used as part of a more rigorous program but the spring clean we all need from time to time is easily undertaken and without pills so often difficult to take at the prescribed time as all the anti oxidants and vitamins in the 5 day 5 flavour program are part of the natural syrups to make up the drinks these extras are unnecessary.

Our body is designed to utilize natural substances, which includes foods, herbs and phytochemicals. Any foreign substance will serve as a stimulus to our immune system, which has the function of removing these substances. Although the toxicity of a chemical may vary, it is the job of the liver to reduce toxins into compounds that the body can safely handle and eliminate through the kidneys (as urine), skin (as sweat), lungs (as expelled air) and bowels (as faeces). Maintaining these eliminative organs in good working order is essential for one's good health to continue. While there are many detoxification programs avail

able, they differ in their actions and their intent.

Some detoxification programs work only with the bowels, others may cleanse the liver or the blood, and others may aid the kidneys or the skin in their functions. By combining these detox programs into a total health program, one can effectively restore their health to an optimal level and look younger in the process. When the body can eliminate toxins, then health is restored and energy and vigour are revitalized. Many different approaches to detoxification and wellness will work, even though they attack the problem at different levels. Any program that augments detoxification will improve health. Other factors must be considered in detoxification, like nutrition, water, and exercise, rest, sunshine, and fresh air. As far as nutrition is concerned and without a strict diet or fasting program then here are some of the foods which are not harmful to your detox personal program.

Fruit fresh frozen or canned but always in natural fruit juice. Fruit juices or smoothies Pure and unsweetened Vegetables fresh or canned in water and with no added salt. Pulses beans and lentils dried or canned in water. Potatoes, Fresh fish, Nuts unsalted Live natural yogurt, Honey, Herbal or fruit teas.
