Detoxification
has become common in society, generally referring to weight loss, addiction
recovery, or a remedy or solution for numerous non-specific aliments.
Detoxification/Purification is a critical ongoing process for achieving and
maintaining health in the human body.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease defines detoxification as the process of removing a
poison or toxin or the effect of either from an area or individual.
There are approximately 80,000 or more
chemicals registered for use in the U.S.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reports that hundreds of
these chemicals are present in our bodies.
Research has shown that many of these chemicals can disrupt our immune,
endocrine, nervous, and reproductive systems. Why do I need to detox? A few examples are as follows:
Give your body a rest: The 21st century has brought about high levels of
stress and a much faster paced living that has generated greater demands on our
overall health. The first step to
wellness is to seek guidance from the Creator. From that, give your body a
break from toxins. Which includes
processed foods, harmful bacteria, excessive stress, negative people,
preservatives, pesticides and herbicides, and reduce exposure to polluted air,
water and chemicals.
Strengthen your immune system: Some of the main issues (toxins) in
modern day living for a weakened immune function are usually stress,
nutritional deficiencies, impaired digestion, hormone imbalance, etc. or all
combined disorders. One should begin first to remove the toxins and imbalance
and second focus on rebuilding, strengthening, and maintaining a healthy immune
system. Knowing every day you choose a
healthier meal, exercise and take time to distress, one becomes closer to being
a healthier, happier more energized individual.
Prevent disease and illness: One form of treatment is prevention
and awareness. Therefore, it takes becoming aware of what’s happening inside
your body and reconnecting with how one may feel to begin to enhance one’s
physical health. Also, excess body weight and obesity has been linked to
Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart Disease, Cancer and a variety of other
disorders. A detox protocol may assist
with eliminating toxins from fat cells, cleanse the system of impurities and
reduce stress hormones. Moreover, one may prevent a variety of diseases to
occur by maintaining a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle.
Restore balance in the body, mind,
and spirit: Every
system in the body is interconnected to work together. Bodies that are overloaded with toxicity will
become out of balance and it may result in depression, stress, fatigue, lack of
sleep, etc. Detox assists in restoring the internal physical, emotional and
mental balance promoting restful sleep, proper digestion, and a calmer mind.
Improve the quality of life: We have one body to carry us
through life. A body filled with toxins or addictions to sugar, alcohol, drugs,
acidic foods, is unable to function at its highest potential. Detoxification assists with freedom to let go
of destructive addictions and helps to regain control over your body and your
food choices. When one choose to detox,
one may eliminate pain, lower blood pressure, reduce skin eruptions, reverse
disease, improve energy, mental focus and regain control of your health which
affects your quality of life.
How do I choose a good detox program?
It may be difficult for most people to determine how to compare various
programs and decide which program is good for you and your concerns. If done improperly, a detox program may
further weaken the body. Once one
determines what he or she would like to accomplish with a detox program, it is
not only helpful but safer and more effective to work with a trained
professional clinician to guide you safely through the program.
Finally, keep in mind that diets aren’t a good long-term solution for
lasting results; your best option is to eat a healthy diet based on fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, and lean sources of protein.
If you choose to do a detox diet, one may want to use it as a way to
begin making healthier food choices going forward every day.
