The first step in detoxifying is understanding what it is and why you're doing it. Don't detox only because someone else told you that you should. Understand that your body is on the verge of disease and sickness and you can help relieve your body from the constraints of toxic matter by detoxing regularly. How often is regularly? That depends on the type of detox you do and your environment and how much toxins you are exposed to. For instance depending on the lifestyles lived, someone living in the West iIdies probably wouldn't have to detox as much as someone like me- living in big city such as New York. (But there are a bunch of other things that contribute to the amount of toxins you're exposed to no matter where you live.) With that being said, I personally would try to "detox" at least three times a year.
If you eat meat and fast food you especially need a detox. There are many types of detox programs and I wouldn't trust them all but for a beginner you shouldn't do anything to extreme. I consider extreme a detox that I did three times called "The Master Cleanser" or "The maple syrup lemonade diet". Me and my close homeboy did it together for support. For a minimum of 10 days you wont eat any solid foods or anything at all but a lemonade concoction you make. Along with a salt water flush in the morning and detox tea at night. It's believed that this will detox and flush your whole body from your organs down to every cell. I don't suggest you do that as a beginner. Extreme may also be a strict fast where you aren't eating any food and only drinking water for a number of days.
So I'll briefly tell you how the body works and how detoxing works and you can find a good detox program you can work with. When we eat food it goes to the stomach where its broken down almost to a liquid and then it goes to the liver. The liver removes most of anything that's in the food that could kill us or make us sick. That is of course what we consider are toxins and more. Then the food is sent to our intestines where nutrients from the food is adsorbed. What's left is sent to our colon and left there until our bodies can remove it as stool.
Our organs that are responsible from removing toxins are our liver, kidney, colon, and skin. So a good detox will cleanse these organs and help them do their jobs. A good detox program should also work like this: First expose your body to herbs to cleanse the organs, then expose your body to great sources of fiber to suck up the toxins from the herb cleanse, then expose your colon herbs that'll support bowel movements to get the toxins out.
Or if you got a separate detox for those specific organs it should work the same way. However never do a liver or kidney detox before you a colon or skin detox. If you do not have a properly functioning colon doing this will only remove the toxins from your liver and they will move to other parts of your body - you wont want that! Only to be reabsorbed by your liver (hopefully). This would be a waste of your time and money and the waste of discomforting experiences caused by the poisons released from your liver. the loads of accumulated junk.
