Detoxifying
and Cleansing
by Karen Benford Smith
Every day the body transforms the food and chemicals
ingested in the body through a natural process of elimination or
neutralizing. The processes take class
in the colon, kidneys, liver, lungs, lymph, and skin. The internal and external organs
automatically detoxify through normal bodily functions but in today’s world the
process can be hampered. Cleansing or detoxification
program may enhance and provide protection from the outside forces that want to
cause havoc in the body. The solution to safeguard the body an implementation
of yet another way to defend the keep pollution and hazardous materials from
contaminating the body is to cleanse and detoxify these materials that were not
meant to be in the body. Detoxifying and
cleansing can help remove unwanted environmental harmful such as pollution,
chemicals, and any other immune-compromising diseases that affect the whole
body. Cleansing is one of the best ways to fight free radicals and triggers
that may cause internal damage.
The body sends signals to the mind identifying reasons
for a change to the compromised immune system.
Here are some of the warning signs that a cleanse or detoxification
program may necessary. If you have frequent headaches, back and joint pains, or
arthritis. Also a detox program may be prompted if you have chronic sinus,
respiratory, or asthma problems. Another way to define if you need a cleansing
is if you have abnormal bad breath, body odor, or a coated tongue. When you become irritable, depressed, or have
trouble sleeping would be three additional reasons to try a detoxification program.
Some of the benefits that a detoxification program gives
the body is a clean internal operating system that is able to handle its own
flushing and eliminating. A cleanse will
provide the body with the ability to breath freely without obstruction caused
by excess mucous and congestion. Once
the chemical overload has been removed, mental clarity and free thinking will
be restored. A big plus factor in
cleansing is the reduction of stomach muscles which helps control weight and
allocation of food sources.
There are three steps needed to put together a cleansing
program, the actual cleans, rebuilding, and maintenance. The amount of time you can devote to
cleansing is also another important factor.
Always follow these three steps, elimination, rebuilding of the healthy
tissues, and keeping the body toxin-free.
Recently, I did a detoxification to reduce stress. My cleansing program was a three days program
followed by a continued upkeep of the reduction of unhealthy chemicals in the
body.
