Detox, cleanses and fasting 

Detoxification or detox diets and full-body cleanses are more popular than ever, but do they actually work?

Chemicals from eating non organic food and external sources such as exposure to ozone (air pollutants) cigarette smoking, as well as internal toxins produced by our digestive system and metabolic processes can cause toxins to build up and free radicals can be formed by aging, mental or physical stress from intense exercise.

Your body is capable of cleansing itself, detoxification and autophagy is a natural process of our body to clean up. The body removes wastes from its cells, blood, organs and lymphatic system. autophagy is the most effective way, but it’s important not to deprive yourself from important nutrition.

Some supplements are okay to take during a fast, but you have to make sure it doesn’t contain calories what will break the fast. If the ingredients have to be a pure vitamin or mineral without added glucoses to avoid stopping autophagy.

That is why, we from the Blue Zone promote a stress-free and active life-style. Grow your own highly nutritious organic food and do fasting a few times per year depending on your life-style.
