WHY SHOULD WE DETOX

You may have heard about the new craze of detoxing the body. Just recently studies have shown that detoxing the body has numerous health benefits, from losing weight, feeling rejuvenated, having more energy and many health ailments dissipating.

Why should we detox and why does it have many health benefits is a question that many people have when looking into detoxing.

Over the years the body accumulates many toxins. Toxins come from an array of things such as:

-        Pollution

-        Chemical substances such as alcohol, cigarettes, drugs etc

-        Preservatives in foods

-        Pesticides from non-organic produce

-        Hormones from eating generic store bought meat

-        Eating processed and refined foods

-        Thinking and feeling negative such as negative thoughts

The list is long and almost endless. The body has a natural detox system, which is our liver and lymphatic system, however the liver is only able to process so much toxins before they accumulate and get into the blood stream and present themselves in many health ailments and disorders such as:

-        Feeling bloated and sluggish

-        Weight gain

-        Tiredness

-        No energy

-        Constipation

-        Diseases or better known as dis-eases

When toxins accumulate in the body, the body becomes stagnant and the lymphatic system is impaired. An example of this can be likened to a blocked drain. There is an accumulation of mould, food, crap per se, which means that the water cannot drain properly leading to say a blocked kitchen sink. Often having to use Draino or even having the plumber come out to unblock the drain.

This is very similar to how the body works, when we have stagnation it cannot drain through the lymphatic system properly. This is why many people who have trouble losing weight even though they are dieting and exercising. There is stagnation in the body that cannot be drained properly.

So the question is, how can we break down stagnation and get the liver doing its job properly again to lead to a better life filled with ease and grace.

A detox is the best way to rid the body of toxins, break up stagnation and have the lymphatic system draining properly while the liver can detox itself and rid the body of toxins naturally.
