Benefits & Detox Symptoms?

zonah

Hi, I've included on average about 50 oz or 1L of fresh organic juice to my diet I'm six weeks in this Saturday. I've noticed my finger nails are stronger, my skin is glowing, my teeth are not as heat & cold sensitive as they used to be and my teeth look whiter. I also have less pain in my hips when I'm sleeping.

Occasionally I've noticed an achiness in my lymph nodes and although I'm having less headaches I did get a huge migrane for about 5 days last week.

I would love to hear from others what benefits they've had from going raw or more raw then they were. And if you've had and detox symptoms and what were they?


Thanks. Zonah

What amazing results your getting! So glad you are noticing such great benefits

Achy lymphs could certainly be from your body pushing out the old to make room for the new. Your immune system is working hard to get rid of toxins so that sounds perfectly normal. Detox is a good sign that this is working so congrats

I never personally experienced headaches due to detox but have heard it from many other people. It's also a good indication that you might not be getting in enough water or calories. The body is working extra hard so it might need a lot more than it did before. When I first started raw I was eating lots of juicy fruit including at least 2 giant watermelons a day. I was drinking at least 6 liters of water and more when I exercised.

For me detox wasn't too bad. I got a few rash spots but that was really the only thing I noticed as negative. Fibromyalgia day to day pain went away except my flare ups were worse. That I think was due to too many nuts, seeds and tomato which for me cause flares.

Good stuff...lost over 40lbs and counting, clear skin, lots of energy, no more mood swings/anxiety/depression as long as I'm eating enough, overall great mood, my hair has gotten curly again, I am a much better runner than I used to be and so many more benefits. This is a great lifestyle to be on.

So very happy you have joined!

Thanks so much for commenting. I've noticed my mood being more stable as well. Another detox symptom I've had is feeling a little mucusy in the morning. It's amazing how the body pushes all this toxicity out of us when we start to eat right.
