Detoxing your diet at the same time you're trying to detox from analogs may not be a good idea. Seems like it would dump a lot into your bloodstream.
Here's some *natural* methods that will help you, in addition to vaping, that have worked for ME:
1) Mix 2 parts epsom salt with 1 part arm & hammer baking soda. Flavor with your favorite essential oil (make sure it's the kind you can use on skin) like lavender. You can leave it out too. This mix literally detoxes your skin and pores, as well as makes muscle aches go away. Skin is the largest "organ" of the body. A lot of people don't think of that.
2) Rescue Remedy (Bach Flower) - This stuff has been around for 30+ years, and is totally safe, even for pregnant women, as a matter of fact, some of my friends used it to calm themselves. My naturapath introduced me to this 20 years ago, it is now available in pastilles to suck on. It really does calm you down and the lozenges are very soothing to mouth and throat, as well as keep the saliva production moving. I need to buy stock in this company. you can also get in dropper form, drop a few drops under tongue like any other homeopathic remedy.
3) IF you want to lose weight, start out simple simple simple. If you move along the liines of something like Dr. Weill's 8 weeks to Optimum Health, you will see that he doesn't say stuff like start a diet and drop umpteen things from your life on day 1. NO. That doesn't work. It's overwhelming, and scares people and they feel like failures.
I think brain research is such that it takes so many days to just change a habit, 21 or 28 or something. So---CHANGE one thing a week. I Just stop doing one thing. For you that may be "no more fast food". For someone else, "no more soda pop." Each time you delete something bad, add something good. By the end of 8 weeks, or 10 weeks or 30 weeks, you will have dropped a lot of bad habits and picke up better ones. And, without shocking yourself emotionally or physically. I see too many people who read diet books and fail because they are dieting, INSTEAD OF MAKING REAL LIFESTYLE CHANGES.
4) I do not like water. I force myself to drink it. INstead, I throw a bunch of vegetables into a pot once a week, simmer it and drink the broth, hot or cold. I'm getting a lot more minerals and vitamins this way. Sometimes i cut it with spring water. Sometimes I put a little chicken and rice in for soup in the afternoon.
5) Walk. Walk, walk, and walk. Even if it's just 1/8 mile down to the road where your mailbox is. Walking is one of the single most things that is simple that most people can do to vastly improve their lives. It costs nothing, you don't need equipment or a gym membership. I know a woman who did this and is now a somewhat famous marathon walker, and she's in her 50s.
Let me save you the thousands of $ I spent under the care of rheumatologists for 15 years... Start walking. Start now.
Smoking causes one to be hyperglycemic
Yes. It also messes up your lipids so if you're battling high cholesterol not smoking will help
