Toxins & the Importance of Detoxing

Did you know, that on average human beings are exposed to more than 2000 chemicals even before they leave their house in the morning!

Yes, your body is miraculous because it helps you do everything from eating delicious foods and driving to work, to walking your dog and laughing with your friends. However, in between all of these fun activities, your body is exposed to hundreds of thousands of toxic chemicals a day.

These toxins should be water-soluble which would make it easier for our bodies to excrete, but that would simply be too easy, wouldn’t it? In contrast, most of the toxins that we consume are fat-soluble which are way more difficult for us to metabolize, meaning they stay in our bodies for days, or even weeks (if not longer).

After we build-up an array of these harmful toxins over time, we can begin to notice some of the side effects of housing toxins for a couple of weeks such as foggy thinking, headaches, skin problems, inflammation, low energy, and constant sickness.

This is why it is so important to detox our bodies, to rid our bodies of these toxins before they begin to cause any side effects.

One way to relieve your organs of the constant pressure to keep your body healthy is to adopt a detox diet and make it a part of your lifestyle.

While our bodies can sometimes put themselves into a state of natural detoxification, with some assistance from our organs, we often need a bit of a boost from our diet to really experience the benefits of a detox.

From a dietary perspective, including a variety of colourful vegetables such as leafy greens and vegetables like broccoli and cabbage, as well as some fresh fruit, can support the detoxification process by providing the body with the antioxidants it needs to complete this process.

Cleansing your body of toxins allows for an array of health benefits, from improved digestion, better liver function, clearer skin, and increased energy levels, all the way through to improving your overall health and vitality, and even weight loss.

Ensuring adequate hydration on a daily basis is essential, however, its even more essential to ensure you’re well hydrated when you’re doing a detox or a body reset as your organs need this fluid to effectively flush out the toxins. In addition to this, you may lose a lot of fluid and retained water over this period which is why it is so important to replenish your hydration levels.

Hydration is not the only key to the success of a body reset or detox package, another element in every effective detox or body reset plan is regular activity and exercise. Staying active promotes better circulation which supports the detox process! In addition to this, exercise makes you sweat which helps clear the skin, while also increasing your breathing rate to oxygenate the body.

Benefits

Our Body Reset and Detox packages have an array of health benefits.

Reduced inflammation

Inflammation occurs when your body is exposed to injury or foreign substances. When inflamed, your body uses white blood cells to protect itself from bacteria, viruses, and infection which can often be caused by exposure to toxins. A detox or Body Reset will help remove these impurities from your body, leaving you less inflamed.

Increased Energy Levels

Detoxes and Body Resets empty your body of sugars and caffeine which may be the reason you are deprived of energy. Filling your body with stable energy sources that will keep you feeling fresh throughout the day may be just what you need to bring those energy levels back up. By cutting out the sugar, caffeine, trans fat, saturated fat, and replacing them with fresh fruits and vegetables, you’ll be getting a natural energy boost.

Rids the Body of Any Excess Waste

One of the primary benefits of a Detox or Body Reset is that it allows the body to rid itself of any excess waste that it may be storing. Cleansing is an important part if a detox process because toxins need to leave the body.

Helps with Weight Loss

Detoxes and Body Resets can significantly help with weight loss, especially water weight loss which can be well-maintained if you continue with a health and lifestyle package after your Detox or Body Reset package. If you are already at an optimal weight, detoxing will set healthy habits in your system which will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle in the future as well. A healthier way to look at this process would be to establish long-term eating habits and rid yourself of unhealthy habits.

Strengthened Immune System

When you detox the body you free up your organs to function the way they should. This allows your organs to focus on other tasks, such as absorbing vital nutrients faster to give your immune system the boost it needs.

Improved Skin

A healthy diet is the prime step of any skincare regime.

Your skin is your largest organ, so it only makes sense that it would show positive results from a detox program. While on a detox or Body Reset program you can assist your detoxing efforts by stepping into a sauna to help the body sweat out additional toxins. You can expect clearer, smoother skin at the end of your detox plan.

Promotes Healthy Changes

We know that it can be difficult to curb your old habits, especially if they have been around for a while. A detox or Body Reset program is a great way to put a wedge between your old habits, and create new ones. If you usually consume sugar, caffeine, fried and crunchy foods, a detox or Body Reset program can help you cut those cravings. If you cleanse the body and replace those foods with healthier choices, you can retrain yourself and be more likely to stick to your new habits.

Healthier Hair

When toxins build up in our bodies, they can delay or block the effects of essential nutrients. If nutrients do not reach the hair follicles, they become deprived of the healthy shine and can become dry, brittle, and broken locks. Detoxing will thus help you flaunt healthy, shiny hair and also increase its growth.

When your hair is able to grow uninhibited by internal toxins you’ll see and feel the difference in your hair. In many instances hair gets shinier, and feels softer to the touch.

Lighter Feeling

When you stop eating foods that weigh you down, and replace them with fresh organic fruits and vegetables, a lighter feeling is bound to occur. It’s important not to overeat while detoxing, which will yield a lighter feeling as well, and will give you the energy you’ve been missing.
