Detox Your Body
 Re-energize Your Life

Why should you detox your body and how often?

It’s like a way of starting off fresh or becoming refreshed may be a better word.

For anyone who is overweight, has bags under the eyes or just feels plain tired as if life is passing you by, a body cleanse or detoxification can be just what the doctor ordered.

Why bother detoxing your body?

Over time our bodies build up toxins from the air we breathe, chemicals in the foods we eat and the water we drink.

Our bodies also absorb chemicals through the skin from perfumes, soaps and other everyday toiletries we may use.

No matter how healthy we try to live, we are surrounded by pollutants and chemicals on a constant basis.

The body can rid itself of some of these toxins but when we can’t eliminate them all they start to accumulate, making it hard for our bodies to function properly.

When our organs, such as the liver, become overloaded with toxins the body cannot break down fat efficiently, causing weight gain.

Other symptoms you could experience are fatigue, digestive problems, gas and bloating, depression, the inability to lose weight and a multitude of other negative symptoms could bombard us.

It is not just for weight loss, a body detox also helps clean your organs, glands and bloodstream.

You will feel more energized with an added sparkle in your eyes, glowing skin and the desire to live life with extra passion.

So what does it mean to detoxify the body?

It simply means consuming more healthy foods and beverages while trying to avoid junk foods, smoking or heavy alcohol consumption.

How often should you cleanse or detox your body?

A body cleanse is something that is fairly easy to accomplish and we should try to do a mini fast once every month.
