What is Detox?

Detoxification is a natural process that occurs within your body. It’s your body’s way of coping with everything our bodies consume from food, drink and the outside world.

When our lifestyles involve more toxins than our bodies can handle, uncomfortable symptoms often begin to appear. This is when it is time to give your body a well deserved clean that will leave you feeling healthier with a new sense of vitality and also help shed those extra kilos.

Symptoms of Need for Detox

• Feel Tired, Lack Energy

Benefits of Detox

In general, people often report improved energy, clearer skin, regular bowel movements, improved digestion, increased memory and clarity and weight loss.

Detox is a useful tool in losing weight because fat stores toxins, therefore when losing weight(fat) the body is exposed to more toxins. This can inhibit weight loss, so detoxing can help improve the body’s ability to shed weight while also making you feel better inside and out.

What are Toxins?

Toxins is a general term for any type of built up waste – the gunk that is left over after your body has broken down food, drink, alcohol, smoke and thousands of other substances our body’s consume. Toxins can be divided into two categories - External and Internal.

External toxins are part of our everyday lives. They are the substances we eat, drink, breathe in and have contact with our skin.

External toxins include:

• Herbicides, pesticides and insecticides( often food in food)
• Food additives such as preservatives and colourings
• Polluted water
• Pharmaceutical medicines – taken orally or topically
• Pollution, household/industrial chemicals (including makeup, shampoo etc)

Internal toxins are toxins that are produced inside our bodies. Some of these are part of our body’s normal processes; others are only produced when we are sick.

Internal toxins include

• Organisms living inside our bodies- bacteria, worms, fungi, parasites, yeast
• Negative thought patterns and stress – these can cause chemical changes in your body, increase your body’s storage of toxins, and increase the damage that toxins cause
• Disease- many diseases produce waste material in your body’s tissues, which can provide fuel for the disease and prolong it.
• Normal digestion and food breakdown – your body will produce more toxins through digestion if you eat low nutrient foods.
