By habits in Smoking on August 18th, 2010

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 total body cleanse may be the answer.

Purely for physical health reasons, a cleanse can help a young adult overcome several of the problems that target that age group. They must be willing to follow the program designed for them and any fasting periods need supervising by a responsible adult. Care must be taken to not let any bulimia episodes occur, which teenagers may mistakenly believe helps lose weight.

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 detox 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.

When gaining maturity, teens like to have control of their own destinies and so adding a little responsibility in the detox program will benefit them in more ways then one. Alerts could be set with them so that they immediately tell a parent if any signs of fatigue or illness happen while on the diet or when fasting. The fast should also only last a day or two because of their age. If they need to cheat, then raw fruits and vegetables will be ok for them to eat.

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.

A few things they can learn along the way include tips for their general well being. When to take a fast and ensuring they have supervision and what simple remedies, herbal and other items available at the local pharmacy, can assist to heal or cure certain conditions such as bad breath and acne. This is a perfect learning condition for the teenager to gain wisdom of their bodies through their own life experiences, all done with a little help from mom and dad.

A body cleansing can be accomplished for a teen if sensitivity to their needs is well noted. They are ripe for the learning event and will be able to endure a simplified version of a fast, if necessary. The body cleansing diet involved will keep them knowledgeable with maintaining a dignified stand in a critical phase of their lives, in more ways than one.
