What is Detox?

Detox or detoxification means cleansing the body of toxins. The body naturally cleans toxins through the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines, lymphatic system and skin. However over time as things like stress, poor diet, reliance on chemicals such as caffeine and alcohol and environmental pollutants can impact the body’s ability to cleanse itself.

When this happens, the impurities aren’t properly filtered and can adversely affect the body, including stalling weight loss.

A detox is a specific way of eating and treating your body to help it process toxins more effectively. It helps give your vital organs a well-earned break. Although healthy diet is the best way to help your body detox, undergoing a body cleanse or liver cleanse is like a spring clean for your body.

Why Should I Detox?

Want more energy, a stronger immune system, weight loss, better sleep and healthy-looking skin?

A detox helps remove toxins in your body that your organs may not be able to keep up with on an everyday basis. Doing a detox is a great way to take the pressure off your organs from the chemicals and pollutants in our environment. This means your organs can do their job more effectively.

How do I know I need a detox?

Doing a detox at least once a year is a great way to improve the body’s natural detoxification process. If you have any of the following symptoms you should consider a detox:

• Regular, low grade infections
• Bloating
• Headaches
• Unexplained fatigue
• Poor or difficult bowel movements
• Mental fogginess

“Do you wear the same shirt every day? No. Do you shower every day? Clean your body from the build-up of dirt, dust, pollution and sweat? Yes of course.

What about a day off work – do you have a day off? Annual leave? Yes. Why? Because our body and mind need a break, need to get clean and reset to be able to go on. It is the same with our organs.

Our organs work hard 365 days a year for us our whole lives! Our organs never get a day off or a good clean. The reality is that whether we have a healthy lifestyle or not, our organs need to be healthy and happy to continue doing their job.

Over the months and years they get tired and when they are tired they get weaker which is when we as humans get tired, weaker and susceptible to illness and disease. Sometimes we forget because we can’t ‘see’ our organs, but we can see (and smell) our shirt and we wouldn’t wear that every day without a good wash.”
