Do you detox?

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!
