The main
concept of a detox is to eliminate stored waste in the body, creating a clean
space for healthy nutrients to be absorbed.
It is possible to hold an excess 20 pounds of fecal matter in the colon,
which causes digestion problems such as gas, heart burn, upset stomach and
weight gain. When food cannot be fully
digested, due to the blockage, only sugars and fats are taken in rather than
necessary proteins and carbohydrates. A
cleanse can help break down these toxins that line the intestinal walls,
allowing for proper nutrient intake from your diet.
The benefits
you can gain from a detox, include:
Enhanced
Energy The absorption of sugars and fats, due to the blockage from toxin
build up, can leave us feeling sluggish throughout the day. Some may even find they consume more caffeine
to boost their energy, only to experience a resultant crash – possibly many. Clearing toxins provides a clear path for
proper nutrients to be absorbed, which in turn creates naturally increased
energy…and don’t we all want that extra energy?! 😊
Cardiovascular
Support A detox can help support the reduction of blood fat levels. As the liver health improves, this can also
have a beneficial influence on your blood cholesterol level, which is said to
be a key connection to strokes and heart attacks.
Clear
Thinking Not only will you see benefits to the body from a detox, but it can
also strengthen the state of your mind. The
circulation of toxins throughout the body unavoidably reach the brain and central
nervous system. This may affect your
ability to concentrate, create poor sleeping habits, cause anxiety and even
depression. Ridding sugars and fats that
give us that fogginess, can help improve mental clarity and memory.
Balance of
Hormones Many of the non-organic foods we eat are “enhanced” with
chemicals. Produce, grains, seeds and
crops are heavily sprayed with herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. Non-organic meat products contain antibiotics
and synthetic hormones, consumed simply to ensure rapid development, muscle
mass and milk production in the animals being raised. All of these contain known endocrine
chemicals, which can alter hormone balance and can have negative effects on the
reproduction function of the human body.
Detoxification
can be a great way to introduce healthy changes into your life for the better. Healthy changes promote healthy
relationships, healthy work life and most important, a healthy you!
Be happy, be healthy, be you!
