Despite the fact that there are so many toxins in our air, food and water, it is refreshing to know that some health drinks can help you eliminate some of those toxins.  The key is to consume them regularly as a way of achieving daily detox. 

Some health practitioners recommend detox products or methods that last a few days or weeks, but then the toxins start going right back in as soon as you resume your old habits.  Daily detox with gently cleansing health drinks makes more sense as this method allows the body to stay clean and healthy on a consistent basis.

To understand more about toxins in our food chain, read the book, “Lake Effect” by Nancy Nichols.  Speaking on National Public Radio, September 30th, 2008, she described her search for the cause of the ovarian cancer that resulted in her sister's death.  While working on the book, Nichols received her own diagnosis-she also has a rare form of cancer, which requires aggressive treatment. "My story was my sister's once over," she said.  Many others who live through this sort of life changing event are motivated to seek out natural health drinks or other alternative resources for detoxifying the body.

Nichols documented the evidence of the many different forms of pollution and the likelihood that they contributed to the cancers.  She came to the conclusion that it was the fish she ate which created the direct pathway delivering toxins from the polluted waters to her body.  The fish she consumed came primarily from the Great Lakes region, specifically near where Nichols grew up in Waukegen, Illinois, on the shores of Lake Michigan.

It’s no secret that there are high levels of mercury and other toxic chemicals in fish from all over the world.  Swordfish and tuna have long been known to carry dangerous levels of mercury, and experts suggest you eat them sparingly.  In addition to decreasing your intake of these toxins, you can protect yourself further with health drinks that provide a daily detox of the liver and tissues where these pollutants often settle in the human body.

When discussing specific health drinks for daily detox it is important to be sure that they do not create harsh or painful elimination processes.  Instead, you want something so gentle and effective that you can drink it on a daily basis without major lifestyle changes.  Granted, you’ll probably urinate more often, but that means the health drinks are working.  When your urine has a strong odor or a dark color that means you have toxins in your blood stream, which need to be eliminated.  When you see the color changing from bright yellow to clear then you know the health drinks are working to cleanse those toxins.  Usually, most people will have more color in their urine first thing in the morning as they eliminate the toxins from the day before. 

The health drinks I have found to be most effective are perfect for daily detox because, first and foremost, they taste good.  Also, they work with the body’s natural processes of elimination and they usually boost your drinking water with powerful antioxidants for even more anti-aging benefits. Look for all natural health drinks that allow for safe, gentle, daily detox.
