You might think that it’s impossible to drink too much water, but you’d be wrong. Drinking too much water can result in death, so you need to ask your doctor about your personal water limits, especially as this article deals in general water amounts which may not be right for you.
The cleanse itself, on the other hand, is pretty easy and straightforward. Firstly, not accounting for your food-borne water intake, most people will drink 4-6 litres of water a day. This is double your usual water intake and by drinking so much water you are making it easier for your body to filter out unwanted toxins and flush them out. You still eat solid foods, which is a marked difference between this type of cleanse and other types of cleanses, but you will feel full after drinking that much water so you don’t eat as much as you would normally. To improve upon your body’s toxin-removing effectiveness, it’s usually best to eat a lot of green vegetables and fibre.
You shouldn’t perform this cleanse for more than 3-4 days, and if you want to repeat the cleanse, don’t do it more than twice a month. Clearing your body of the unavoidable build-up of toxins can help you lose weight and prevent a number of health problems from developing. The water cleanse isn’t without challenges and risks, but it’s one of the easiest and cheapest you will find online. Just remember: contact your doctor before you do anything else.
