Summer Detoxification

 

Detoxifying is the process of releasing accumulated toxins and waste

products that build up throughout our system. From birth, we are

bombarded by toxins, externally from environmental sources.

Internally, our organs give off waste products that accumulate in our

body. Imbalanced emotions also play a part in polluting our system

with excess chemicals such as free radicals, homocysteine and

cortisol.

 

Detoxifying is, in many ways, an easy process. Our body does much of

the detoxification process through urination, defecation and

perspiration. As our bodies age and our immune systems weaken from

illness, poor diet and/or addictive substances, we sometimes need to

give our system an extra helping hand. That is why conscious detoxing

is great way back to optimum health.

 

One of the best ways to start your detoxification is with the body's

biggest organ, the SKIN. A detox diet strengthens the organs involved

in detoxification and releases stored toxins, expelling them through

the organs of elimination: the skin, as well as the intestines,

liver, lungs, kidneys, and lymphatic system.

 

 

TIPS FOR DETOXING

 

1. Eating a diet that focuses on fresh vegetables and fruits.

 

2. Eat whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.

 

3. Adopt a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise.

 

4. Avoiding drugs and alcohol.

 

5. Taking a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement.

 

6. Take nutritional/herbal supplements to protect and enhance liver

function.

 

7. Go on a three day fast, four times per year.

 

8. Fasting at the change of the seasons is a good rule to remember.

 

9. Take care of your skin and know your skin type.

 

10. Consider a self empowering affirmation to clear your mind.

 

 

 

Seasonal Healing is one of the best ways to remind ourselves that it

is time to evaluate our health. Our moods and bodies change as the

seasons change. See more on seasonal healing:
