How the Master Cleanse Detox Works?

It is important to understand how the master cleanse detox process works to appreciate what goes on in our body. It also keeps our attitude positive as we experience possible symptoms and side effects. It will reduce the possibility of stopping the detox program half way when there are good results occurring within our body.

Lemonade

The lemonade diet makes use of the enzymes of the lemon to break down old waste in our colon. Our colon moves feces and waste accumulated within our body and very easily the structure of the colon leads to many toxins getting trapped inside it. This accumulation is a process that is gradual and occurs over the years. It is the result of improper digestion where undigested proteins putrefy, carbohydrates ferment, and fats rancify.

We might think that lemon is acidic but interestingly they turn alkaline when digested. At its alkaline state it is able to neutralize the acidity found among toxins and the waste found within our colon. We advocate using freshly squeezed lemonade because it is the enzymes present in these fresh lemons that gives the best effects of the detoxification process.

Enzymes are very sensitive and are easily broken down within hours. It is also important not to apply heat to it because they get denatured (change the enzyme molecule) when exposed to temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius. Once they denature, their functions become altered too and will not provide the necessary positive impacts to our body.

Maple Syrup

Similarly, the maple syrup that is used it to provide us with the required natural sugar for energy as well as vitamins and minerals like B-complexes, vitamin C, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. It is important to note that the sugar extracted here is not processed and is nutritious compared to refined sugar. Check out the table below:

There are 2 common types of maple syrups: Grade A and Grade B. The visible difference is the darkness of the syrup. The darker the syrup the more minerals it contains which is found in the Grade B syrups.

Another ingredient, cayenne pepper, has been traditionally used for gastrointestinal tract problems like stomachaches, cramping pains, and gas. It is also known to improve circulation by breaking up mucus and increase blood vessels. So there is synergy with the master cleanse detox to allow fast detoxification of toxins from our body.

Master Cleanse Process

The master cleanse detox process happens in two basic steps, the detoxification and the elimination. The detoxification process is when the toxins are purged out from our cells and organs. The elimination step is the clearing of these toxins from our body to avoid them to be reabsorbed into our body again.

The detoxification process involves drinking about eight glasses of 10 ounce lemonade actually heavily neutralizes the acidic waste and dissolves as well as dislodging them from where they are embedded especially the colon.

Then making use of the cayenne pepper further provide us with all the necessary blood circulation to move these toxins through out blood to be cleared. Then the herbal laxative tea further allows the final stage of cleansing by promoting peristalsis which is encouraging the colon muscles to contract and relax consistently to move feces and waste through the intestines smoothly.

Use of Salt Water Flush for Elimination

In the elimination stage of the master cleanse detox is the use of salt water flush helps to clear all the waste effectively before these toxins are reabsorbed. We must be aware that our large intestine absorbs water, sodium ions and chloride ions, so all the old putrefied waste on the walls of the colon are also reabsorbed into our body together with the water that gets carried back into our blood system. We want to ensure that the salt water flush eliminates these toxins as soon as possible from our system and avoid the possibility of re-absorption.

Importance of Using Non-Iodized Sea Salt

Non-iodized sea salt is a much better choice than refined salt because they are bleached and cleared of many important trace minerals. Instead the non-iodized sea salt would contain all these minerals that is required by our body especially during a detox program.
