Why Detox?

 Hippocrates once said, “The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.”
Detoxification/Cleansing is the process of addressing the toxins in the body. The liver, digestive tract, kidneys, bladder, lymphatic system, lungs, and skin are the major systems/organs that are involved in the neutralization and elimination of toxins. Because we are exposed to high levels of foreign substances (medications, pesticides, fumes, synthetic materials, cigarette smoke, caffeine, preservatives) and over consume chemically-treated, synthetically-produced food, extra purification is needed.
In addition to these challenges, our bodies produce waste by-products (such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, and free radicals) as a result of normal metabolism that need to be eliminated.
This everyday exposure to these substances may have you feeling less than your best, experiencing: Weight gain, Fatigue or difficulty sleeping, Poor digestion, or Reduced mental clarity.
A proper detoxification utilizes whole food supplements, pure food, and water to give the body the resources it needs so that it can purify and rebuild itself naturally. It should place an emphasis on the liver and colon because these two organs play a major role in supporting the digestive system. It should:
Provide highly-bio available vitamin complexes and minerals
Support a healthy cardiovascular system
Encourage healthy nervous system function
Deliver strong antioxidant protection to promote cellular health
Support healthy digestive system function
Encourages regular intestinal elimination that improves the removal of toxins;
Support healthy blood glucose levels
Support proper brain function
The ideal program takes time. It needs to be gentle, reduce excess fat stores, be high in fiber and low in fat, increase muscle, and ensure that the amount of metabolic energy being used is greater than the amount of calories consumed.
