A Body Cleansing For Teenagers
Being a teenager is mostly an awkward and uncomfortable stage of life in many ways. The physical changes cause outbursts of acne, pubic hair and voice breaking situations that can be a very embarrassing time. That is why peer acceptance is essential as a back up for a teenager’s esteem. To be in with the crowd of their choice may take some shaping up physically, not just to tone muscles but for general overall health reasons, a body cleansing may be the answer.
As these years are years of concern, letting go of immaturity and beginning a new life as emerging adults, it should be their own decision to undergo the detox process. Guidance is absolutely necessary from a mature adult, as fasting is not meant to be a cover for adolescent prone diseases like anorexia. It can be done but keeping in mind the health reasons and risks.
Only having breath resembling that of a popular incense stick – dragon’s breath – may seem like the end of the world to a young teen anyway. A body cleansing will help get rid of problems relating to the digestive system. If they are willing to do a simplified version of the course, a permanent solution may ensue. An empathetic parent will do wonders to lead them through it.
Begin with supplying an endless amount of peppermint and spearmint tea. This is a very nice hot herbal drink but can also be drunk with ice as a refreshing cold drink. The qualities of the herbs start to work on the digestive tract straight away. It helps to alleviate acidity in the stomach too, bringing alkalinity back in to balance it all out. Very quickly, the halitosis is dealt with and the teen has learned how to cope with it themselves.
As they grow older, let them have more control over the project. It can become as simple to supervise as adults fast with just a check in on how they are coping with not eating and if they are experiencing anything unusual. Symptoms to be wary of are light headiness, dizzy or faint attacks, feelings of nausea and vomiting. A medical professional should be consulted straight away if they are recurring or unaccountable to anything but the detox or fast.
Getting back onto solids after the short fast should be well planned. Again, raw fruits and vegetables are the mainstay for the course. As the diet progresses back to the normal eating habits of the teen, little by little another food previously prohibited can be reinstated such as wheat products and dairy. Eventually they will be eating everything teenagers enjoy and there will be no stopping them.
Herbal infusions that aid cleansing are lemon tea, the mint family, parsley is also good for the digestive tract and chamomile will help keep the nerves calm. You can take other vitamins as well; not in excess for the diet, but as a support are vitamin C, B and a suitable multivitamin. Salt will need to be replaced as well because of all the eliminations taking the salt with them. Potassium and sodium in particular will be a focal point.
A good dose of will power is needed to help them see it through to the end of the week. Slowly reintroduce heavier foods back into their diet, like dairy, meat and breads. Overall, participating in a total body cleanse should not be an event full of suffering. It is meant to be a health benefit to get their bodies in peak working order. If their minds are not adjusting to the benefits of the process then it is best to try something simpler than a cleansing.
