Looking good is always an inspiration
There are many steps you can take to detoxify your body and create new, positive habits which will not impact your pocket
Your body is the most visible indicator of the accumulation of bad habits, so let’s look at some of the benefits of detoxification.
The information provided below has been sourced from an article entitled ’12 Benefits of Detoxing the Body’ (www.bembu.com).
• Energy boost: By cutting down on sugar, caffeine, trans fats and saturated fats and replacing them with fresh fruit and vegetables, your body will be receiving a natural energy boost.
• Riding the body of excess waste: Most detoxification programmes are designed to cleanse the body of excess waste which has been stored. This enables the kidney, liver and colon to work efficiently.
• Weight loss: This is not a miracle cure, but rather just good sense because what we eat on a regular basis has become a habit… and as mentioned in the other article on this page, you can’t just cut the habit, it has to be replaced with a better solution.
You need a permanent solution which can only be driven by you.
Make it a point of replacing the ‘bad’ foods with good ones and ‘use your new-found energy to exercise more or be more active’.
• Stronger immune system: By eliminating the toxins from your body you are enabling all your internal organs to perform efficiently and as a result your immune system will benefit because the absorption of nutrients will occur naturally.
One of the biggest culprits is the lymphatic system which, if not efficiently circulating will not be draining the toxins from your body.
Choose a detox programme which includes light exercise to circulate the lymph fluid through the body and help it to drain.
• Improved skin: One of the first signs that something is wrong is visible in condition of your skin.
That’s why it is so important to establish a beauty routine which includes a detoxification process, such as some time in a sauna to sweat out the toxins or a facial steam over a pot of boiling water, followed by the application of a facial mask.
There are many steps you can take to detoxify your body and create new, positive habits which will not impact your pocket and will definitely make you feel so much better.
