detox nightmare
detox-elimination of all toxin from the body.
purpose-to clean the colon, liver, kidney and whatever that’s congested.
cause-eat too much outside food which contains chemicals, radicals,and all the ‘amazing’ seasoning man kind invented.
process-go through juice therapy 5 times a day, dinner-salad n soup, drink 4L of water.
effect-lost of weight(probably just dehydration), feeling weak, looking slightly better, clearer complexion.
last Saturday which was the 9th of Dec, my family and i went to Selesa Hillhomes to undergo a detox programme organised by my yoga instructor who happens to also be a doctor. it was purely out of the concern of my own health that i decided to go.
arriving there, we started with a juice therapy(which was disgusting), it was something like fear factor minus all the living things that they consume. we had beetroot+orange+lemon juice(EwWw), also carrot+sesame+cucumber+apple juice(you really dont wanna know what it tastes or even looks like) and the worse was the liver flush=1lemon+olive oil+wheatgerm(god knows what the heck is that)+herbs.
well just fyi, we dont drink all day and go to bed, we perform some yoga exercises in order to distribute the water to the WHOLE body and to burn some calories by pumping in loads of oxygen into our hearts.it was EXTREMELY exhausting, not to mention the fact that all we consumed were juices.looking forward to dinner(salad and soup), i was disappointed when the salad tasted like lemon juice with crispy n tasteless vege. the taste of it itself was revolting, despite the fact that i’m a vege lover…
next they even gave us some concoction to drink so that we will start purging..OMG.just imagine everyone rushing to the restroom.it was terrible.the churning pain in the stomach was something i wish i dont have to face in the near future.it was so bad that i can barely walk.my knees were weak, thanks to the fact that we were staying at the highest floor..had to run up 8flights of stairs everytime we wanted to return to the room and this excluded the time where we had to go to the gymnasium for yoga practises(3flights) and during the juice therapy(2flights). to sum that up, i think i walked about 80 flights of stairs on saturday and 60flights on sunday.
now that i’m home, i’m down with flu and throat infection, god knows why. and the very fact that i got so many insect bites!!!
nevertheless, i feel that everyone should detox once in a while so that they can prevent so many illnesses from happening upon them. suffer for a few days and you shall reap the benefits! so have fun while you’re at it!!
