What Is A Detox

April 16, 2019 | By FITholic Admin

Most of us tend to agree that detoxification or ‘detox’ diets are short-term interventions designed to eliminate toxins from the body, promote health and assist with weight loss.

A detox is your opportunity to give your body a break and allow your own self-cleansing and self-healing processes to kick into gear. Our bodies are innately intelligent and a period of cleansing is the perfect way to hit the reset button and start on a path to a healthier, happier, more vibrant you!

As you may know, the body has its own natural detox methods. The liver, sweat, and urine are all ways your body rids itself of toxins.

However, sometimes these vital organs work too hard and need a break. A detox diet is a great way to take the pressure off your organs, so you can keep them strong for the future.

Here are just some of the benefits of a holistic, natural detox:

• Cleanse your body from unwanted toxins
• Eliminate uncomfortable bloating and gas
• Increase your nutrient intake and supercharge your diet
• Lose stubborn weight and water retention
• Increase energy and eliminate fatigue
• Feel rested and sleep better than you have in years
• Balance hormones and sugar levels
• Temper migraines and food sensitivities
• Eliminate skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis

Here are some great tips to help you out when doing a total body detox and why these tips are so important for your overall, long-term health:

Hydration

Importance: Elimination of toxic particles and the rejuvenation of cells.

Exercise

Importance: Strengthen your lung capacity/ability.

Real, Live FOOD!
