Detoxify your Body - Detox Retreat

Today people are realising the importance of detoxifying their bodies. Detoxification is the way to rid the body of toxins. There are several natural and medical aided ways to detoxify yourself and it is advisable that you study all procedures well before deciding on a way to detoxify your body.

How do I know if I need to Detox?

Is your body feeling tired and fatigued and mentally confused, even though you had a relaxing day?

Are you having skin problems, bags under the eyes or a distended stomach even though the rest of the body is thin?

Are you irritable and do you have irregular menstrual cycles and unexplained allergies?

If your answer is yes to even one of the above stated questions, then you need a DETOX programme.

How does it work?

Detoxifying your body helps restore balance and regeneration power to your body. Do you know that if you follow a healthy, fresh food diet and don’t smoke or drink alcohol your body has the tendency to get rid of the toxins by its own cleansing process? But with today’s lifestyle, even if you breathe in you are most probably taking in toxins because of the pollution. Detoxifying aids your body cleansing in the following ways:

• Fasting helps give a rest to over worked organs. A rest period helps your body’s natural cleansing system strengthen.

• Detoxifying helps improve the overall blood circulation in the body.

• Detoxification methods stimulate the liver, kidney, skin, intestines, lymph, lungs and colon to rid the body of harmful toxins

• You give a new lease of life to the body with healthy nutrients and exercise.

Simple Ways to Detoxify the Body:

NOTE: It is advisable that before undertaking any medical procedure that you first consult with your doctor and only then go ahead. Detoxifying procedures are not advisable for young children, pregnant women or people with degenerative illnesses like cancer or tuberculosis.

• First and foremost you will have to quit or at least reduce your daily smoking and reduce your coffee and sugar intake. Coffee, sugar and tobacco are notorious for giving you a momentary “high” followed by a “crash or low”, which makes you crave coffee and cigarettes again. This dangerous cycle only increase the toxicant build up in your system, which only increases the risk of diseases like cancer and heart failure.

• Exercise - It is the best way to rid your body of toxins. Sweat them out. They say even a 15 minute walk every day can help your body, so why not give yourself that extra boost with a minimum one hour workout every day? Yoga, martial arts and skipping are all recommended exercises.

• Water - The one drink you are advised to have as much of as you want. You should drink at least eight to ten glasses of water every day. A good way to start your day is to drink at least two glasses of warm water before you have breakfast; this not only helps in ridding the toxins but also aids weight loss.

• Eat a diet rich in fibre, wheat and brown bread, fresh fruits and juices and fresh vegetables. Cabbage, beetroot, radishes, broccoli, seaweed, spirulina, chlorella and artichokes are the best for detoxifying the body.

• Breathe deeply as the increased intake of oxygen helps the body rejuvenate.

• Take herbs like dandelion root and milk thistle to help and soothe the liver. Vitamin C, which is also found in lemons, is another aid to the liver.

• Use a sauna facility if possible, as this helps the body sweat the toxins out.

• Take regular massages and visit a Spa, not only to rid the toxins but also to pamper yourself.

• Use a dry brush on the skin to get rid of all the toxins through the skin. You can get special brushes for this process at natural products stores.
