The stress of everyday work and the challenges of running a
home, keeping your family and marriage intact can sometimes take its toll on
the general physical well-being of a person. This is why couples are encouraged
to do periodic physical health examination.
Note that, when your mind is drained, your body aches and
your energy level drops, in fact, close to zero. Whenever you feel sapped, know
it’s time for a body detox. And don’t we
all need it?
Imagine you having clearer skin, sharper mind, energy
revitalized, stronger immune system and feeling healthy inside out. These are
the things you can enjoy by undergoing a detoxification program.
Detoxification basically means blood cleansing through eliminating
impurities from the blood in the liver, through kidneys, lungs, intestines,
lymph and skin.
Taking your first
step:
First, you have to reduce toxins in your body. Endeavor to
cut down on the following: cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, foods with saturated
fats and refined sugars (cola and ketchup contains a lot) - these acts as
toxins in your body and as a hindrance to your healing development.
The use of household cleaners that are chemical-based and other
personal health care products such as shampoos, toothpaste, deodorants and
cleansers should be reduced as well. They leave drops of chemicals inside us. We
never really fully eliminate them unless one goes through a process of
detoxification.
There are many ways to detox the body. It’s up to you to
choose which suits your lifestyle and preference.
• Juice
fasting
Drinking only fresh fruits and vegetables such as carrot,
spinach, celery, cabbage, apple, pineapple and cranberry (avoid citrus fruits).
This is an effective way of discharging toxins. It also
provides loads of nutrients as well as enzymes to lessen the intensity of the
cleansing process.
Fast weight loss is the main benefit from juice fasting. A
person may drop 30-40 lbs on a 30-day juice fast. By juice fasting, a person
gains self-confidence and feels light and clean.
Duration of juice fasting is usually 1-3 days. Medical
administration and careful assessment is required for longer fasting.
• Water
fasting
Only water is consumed during a water-fast. Water lets the
digestive tract and organs to rest completely, allowing all of your energy to
self-repair and strengthen damaged organs. It also eliminates toxin build-ups.
Water fasting does not only eliminates obstruction and aids
in self-healing, it is also revitalizes the body.
Simple Body Detox
Method:
1. Change in
diet.
Whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables instead of
packaged and fast foods that are high on fats and sugar can become part of your
daily lifestyle in maintaining good health.
2. Sauna.
The sauna is widely used by many cultures as a regular part
of detox. It is a great method of removing chemicals buildups in fat cells.
Saunas are usually combined with diet, exercise and nutritional supplements.
3. Skin
brushing.
Again, with the combination of diet, exercise and
nutritional supplements, skin brushing is also a gentle way of detoxing. It
removes old skin cells, stimulates the lymph system and draws out toxins
through the skin. A dry skin brush made of soft vegetable bristles should be
used.
Before taking a shower, lightly brush your feet in circular
motion towards the chest area for a minute or two.
4. Exercise
Through breathing exercise, the bloodstream thoroughly
oxygenates thus giving energy and improves the body’s physical process.
Different positions lightly massage the internal organs and stimulate them to
slowly discharge toxins.
These cleansing methods are just a guide to what it can do
to improve your health. It is necessary to know why detox is important and
understand the different ways on how to detox the body before you begin with
the different programs.
