Grapefruit Remedy To Cleanse Your Body In A Month

Doing one or two detox cures a year is a very healthy habit. Especially when the beginning of autumn and spring are approaching. Thus we can purify toxins from the body, raise defenses, balance weight and gain health and vitality.

In this article we propose a simple cure based on grapefruit, an excellent citrus fruit to improve liver and kidney function.

How do I know if I should cleanse my body?

Many people already have the habit of doing some type of purification throughout the year. However, there are still those who wonder if they really need it.

Here are some clues that will help you confirm if you need to purify some toxins:

• You feel tired or fatigued, and not only at the end of the day, but you notice a lack of energy in the morning.

• Your analytics appear a bit altered. Maybe a little cholesterol, anemia, glucose, etc.
• You have had some skin problems, such as eczema or pimples.
• You notice that it is difficult for you to digest or you often suffer from gas, heartburn or heaviness. Your intestine seems not to be very regular.
• You notice your defenses a little low.
• You have excess mucus, especially in the morning.
• You feel discomfort under the ribs on the right side.
• Dark circles or bags have appeared under your eyes.
• Your tongue is not as pink as it should be, but rather white, grayish, or yellowish.
• You want to lose some weight in a healthy way.

The good news is that a proper plan to purify the body can help you overcome these disorders in a very simple way. And there are different types of debugging at our fingertips.

Types of debugging

A purification is, therefore, an aid that we give to our organism so that it can more easily eliminate the toxic substances that accumulate. Whether it is due to a bad diet, bad habits, pollution, negative emotions, etc.

If we do not eliminate these toxins they are a source of short-term disorders and long-term diseases. In this sense, there are different types of debugging:

• Fruit and vegetable juices or smoothies:  Grapefruit is one of the most cleansing fruits that exist.
• Vegetable broths: Onion, garlic, celery, artichoke, etc.
• Medicinal plants, such as dandelion, burdock, horsetail or milk thistle.
• Specific supplements : Made with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.
• Fasts and semi-fasts.
• Body therapies such  as the steam sauna.

Why the grapefruit?

Grapefruit is one of the best choices to cleanse the body, thanks to its content of antioxidants, vitamin C and folic acid, and minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Also, it is very low in calories.

These are its health properties:

• It stimulates the formation of bile in the liver and the release of bile that is stored in the gallbladder, which favors the natural purifying function of the liver.
• Its diuretic power, thanks to calcium, potassium and magnesium, allows us to eliminate fluids from the body. And, thus, prevent the formation of stones in the kidney.
• It helps you lose weight by increasing metabolism and, therefore, also burning calories.
• Regulates blood sugar and insulin levels. You’ll feel more energetic and have fewer temptations to snack between meals.
• Reduces elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels and improves overall cardiovascular health.
• Its vitamin C content contributes to the formation of collagen. This results in beautiful, firm and blemish-free skin, as well as healthy joints.

How do we do the debugging?

We can do this purification for a month and we will need two grapefruits per day. They can be yellow or red grapefruits, although the latter are more antioxidant. We do recommend that they be organic grapefruits, so that they are free of any toxic substance that may hinder purification.

• Every morning we will squeeze the juice from the two grapefruits and divide it into three shots, which we will drink half an hour before each meal. 
• If the flavor is too strong we can sweeten it with a little stevia, but never with sugar.
• It is not recommended to do this purification based on grapefruit if we are taking medication or if we suffer from gastric hyperacidity.
