Fibromyalgia is a crippling disease that is caused by too many toxins in the body. Therefore in order to find relief and overcome this disease, it is important for you to help your body to get rid of these toxins, and prevent other toxins from entering in.
The toxins that contribute to Fibromyalgia can be lodged anywhere in the body including the digestive system, muscles, fat cells and even in your skin. Therefore getting rid of them all will take time, but there are things that you can do today to begin this process so that you can eventually find relief from Fibromyalgia.
Sauna and Hot Baths
Sweating is a good way for the body to remove toxins through the skin. Therefore it is essential that you promote sweating in any way that you can. Saunas and hot baths both work extraordinary well to remove toxins. 30 minutes to an hour, several times per week will help to reduce the amount of toxins that are in you.
But remember that when you sweat you are losing water, and therefore it is essential that you drink plenty of it to keep yourself from dehydrating. 3 to 4 liters is essential to helping you to restore the water and remove toxins.
Living Food Diet
Your diet also plays a major role in how you feel. If you eat dead and toxic foods, then your body will become toxic and eventually begin to die as well. But if you eat living foods, they will help to clean your body out and keep it free from toxins so that you can enjoy a long and healthy life.
The foods to add to your diet are raw fruits and vegetables, sprouts, herbs, as well as nuts and seeds. All other foods need to be eliminated as they are toxic, and will only make your situation worse.
Raw foods can be just as tasty and fun to eat as other foods, as you can make raw fruit pies, fruit and vegetable salads, wraps, smoothies and freshly squeezed juices.
Juice Fast
A juice fast is a quick way to clean out your digestive system by giving it a break. However, this method of detoxifying can be hard on the body, and therefore it is not recommended that you engage in this until your body has somewhat been cleaned out.
To prepare for a juice fast, you should avoid all processed foods and most cooked foods at least 5 to 7 days prior to your fast. It may be difficult to resist the food temptations, but it is necessary so that the juice fast will not be so overwhelming.
When doing the juice fast for the first time, you may only last for 1 day, and this is normal. But when you remain on a clean diet afterwards, you will be able to fast for longer the second time around. The longer that you fast, the greater the results will be. To make your juices you will need a juicer and fresh fruits and vegetables.
