Carb Counting

With the rise in popularity of low carb diets - often called ketogenic diets because they induce ketosis (a metabolic process in which the body burns fat for energy instead of carbs) - carb-counting has become a standard tactic to ensure you are within the diet rules for carb consumption.

By counting carbs to monitor your daily carb intake you ensure that your body is in ketosis, to maximize fat-burning.

It also helps to regulate blood sugar and insulin levels.

The total carbohydrate content of a food includes sugars, starches and dietary fiber. But since this carb-total includes dietary fiber, which is indigestible, it may give an inaccurate measure of the carb-value of the food in question.

Detoxification

Detox is a natural process occurring on a continual basis in the body, but because of the modern diet, the enormous number of chemicals we ingest daily and the increase in chronic degenerative diseases, regular detox is necessary.

The purpose of detox is to neutralize and eliminate any compound in the body that can be toxic. A detox diet strengthens the organs involved in detox and releases stored toxins, expelling them through the organs of elimination: the skin, intestines, liver, lungs, kidneys and lymphatic system.

A detox program may consist of a special diet, nutritional supplements, herbs, hydrotherapy, exercise, breathing techniques and/or sauna.

A toxin is a compound that can harm the structure or function of body cells and tissues.
Toxins can come from the environment (alcohol, tobacco, pesticides, heavy metals such as mercury, food additives, oral contraceptives, and drugs). The body, during its normal functioning, forms by-products that could also have toxic effects if the body didn't neutralize them.
