ELIMINATION - The Key To Success

Eliminating the toxins in your body is the key to a successful diet.

Elimination is the extraction of wastes from the cells, and the transportation of this waste out of the body. The better the elimination, the better the results.

Waste in your body that is not continuously removed will be reabsorbed through your system and continue the cycle of auto intoxification..

We recommend you drink at least 1-2 litres of water in addition to the rejuvenation drink, to effectively flush the system. The more fluid in your system the less concentrated the dissolved toxins will be on your eliminative organs.

Any problems which occur during the Lemon Detox Diet are usually the result of inefficient elimination.

Brushing your skin and light exercise are also a great complement to the diet. It helps the elimination process by increasing blood flow and perspiration of toxins through the skin.

Skin brushing

Skin cleansing and detox are essential for eliminating pesticides and other drugs and environmental chemicals. Approximately 10% of body elimination occurs through the skin, working in conjunction with other organs of elimination such as the colon, kidneys, and lungs. If one of these organs is stressed and not eliminating waste products efficiently, a greater burden may be placed on the remaining organs. This is why people with chronic constipation often have skin conditions such as acne.

Skin cleansing and detox are also an integral part of the treatment of multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), pesticide and chemical exposure, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). As a preventative measure, it is used by healthy couples who wish to decrease their stored toxins prior to conception.

Skin brushing facilitates skin cleansing by stimulating the lymphatic system to eliminate toxins through the skin. It also improves blood circulation throughout the body and removes dead skin cells and debris that clog pores.

Many toxic substances are eliminated through the skin. Lightly brushing the skin with a dry brush stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation and removes dead cells to promote elimination. Use a soft bristle brush. Start brushing at your feet and brush towards the heart, since it is important to follow the flow of lymphatic fluid.

Instructions
1. Use a long handled natural bristle brush. You can find one at the health food store. If you are unable to find one, use a loofah sponge.
2. Start at the soles of your feet. Using light pressure, brush in small circles from the legs towards the chest, palms of the hands towards the chest, and then the back towards the abdomen. Finish with the scalp.
3. Avoid the face, breasts, and other sensitive areas. Skin brushing can be done in the morning or evening by itself or before a contrast shower.
