Believe it or not, your body likely fends off at least 10,000 attacks from free radicals every single day! Free radicals, which are unbalanced molecules that can disrupt healthy cells and cause a chain reaction of destruction, can lead to a wide variety of health problems, and should therefore be something you’re thinking about when considering your overall health and wellbeing. A cleanse or detox is a great way to combat free radicals and fight off potentially serious health problems.
Where Free Radicals Come From
Free radicals can come from both internal and external sources. For instance, they can develop in your own body through the course of natural processes that take place there. In particular, when oxygen reacts with compounds during the energy-making process in your body, free radicals can form.

Going through a detox—whether you choose hyperthermia, colonics, chelation, fasting detox, or a detox diet—is a fantastic way to boost your energy, strengthen your immune system, reduce your chances of contracting diseases, and losing weight. But there are both positive and negative side effects of any detox, and you should really know what you’re getting into so that you’re not surprised during the detox process.
Potential Negative Detox Side Effects
Let’s get the bad news over with first, why don’t we? Depending on your level of health and the type of detox you choose, you could experience any number of less-than-pleasant side effects during your detox. The important thing to remember is that this is a natural part of the experience—you often get worse before you get better.

When hiring a professional—be it a home builder, a plumber, or a landscape designer—you’d likely research their history, examine their educational background, and get some information about how they work and where their expertise lies. You may even ask for references from former clients to get a more objective view of their work habits and performance.
The same should be true of your personal holistic doctor, massage therapist, naturopath, homeopath, colon hydrotherapy technician, dietician, or acupuncturist. Choosing a holistic health care practitioner is not a process you should take lightly since they hold your health in their hands! This is especially true since there are a vast number of practitioners out there who actually make us sicker than when we first began. Your health is a precious thing that needs to be protected and handled with care.

There’s a wide variety of detox options on the menu these days, including external detoxes that use things like saunas, baths, and creams, as well as internal detoxes that can either be short or long term fasts, specific diets, chelation, colonics, and more. Regardless of which detox you choose, you’ll be doing your body a favor by treating it to some type of healing and rejuvenation.
Many food-based detox diets recommend that you avoid certain foods (like processed/pre-packaged meals, white flour, sugar, caffeine, tobacco, and foods with additives) while encouraging you to eat large quantities of certain healthy, cleansing foods for their beneficial effects on the body as well as vitamins and antioxidants.

Your body is constantly working to keep you feeling healthy and energetic. You’ve got several internal systems built into your body that are working around the clock to gather up and remove toxins from your cells and organs. But sometimes your natural cleansing systems get bogged down and needs a little help.
How Long-Term Exposure to Toxins Results in Illness
Every day, our bodies are assaulted with toxins of all sorts, but they generally fall within two categories: environmental toxins and metabolic toxins:

We do so many things to our bodies that affect our energy levels.
- We eat simple sugars which spike blood sugar levels and leave us hungry after a short period of time.
- We pump chemicals and toxins into our bodies through the things we eat, the products we use, and by breathing toxic air. These toxins impede the normal function of our organs and systems, sapping us of energy.
- We fail to exercise, thereby slowing our body’s metabolism and making us lazy.
- Over time, we gain weight, which further compounds our energy problems.
- And we fail to get the quality or quantity of rest we require to repair our bodies and give us enough energy for the day.

Your colon works hard every day to process your food and protect you from potential poisons in your diet. Neglect your colon for too long and you’ll pay the consequences. Sooner or later, you’ll begin to feel lethargic, experience frequent illness, and have trouble with normal digestion. In fact, digestive disease is one of the fastest growing health concerns in North America and can be a significant contributing factor in many other diseases.
Why? Because our North American diet is one of the most unhealthy on the planet. It’s full of sticky, starchy foods, loaded with sugar, pumped full of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, low in fiber, and deficient in essential vitamins and minerals.

If you’ve listened at all to the health news lately, you know that antioxidants play a pretty major role in discussions of disease prevention and good health. These molecules that neutralize free radicals—both those that accumulate naturally in our bodies and those that we’re exposed to from environmental sources—are crucial in the fight against all the big diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
Fighting Free Radicals with High-Antioxidant Diets
So how do we fend off free radicals with antioxidants? First and foremost, we do so by eating antioxidant-rich foods every single day. According to the USDA, here are the top 20 most antioxidant-rich foods around based on their total antioxidant capacity per service size:

An extreme form of body cleansing is the fasting detox. This type of detoxification involves abstaining from food for between one and 10 days, depending on the diet. In the place of solid foods, you consume only liquids, which can range anywhere from fruit juices to the lemonade drink popular in the Master Cleanse Detox Diet.
Fasting is a highly effective method for ridding your body of toxins that have been stored in tissues and your digestive tract over time. You see, when your body encounters a toxin that it can’t process, it’ll find a way to store it in your body—most often in fat. When you do a fast, your body is forced to begin burning fat, and as it does so, these stored toxins are released into the body so that they can be flushed from your system.
