5 Signs you need a DETOX
5 Signs you need a detox!
What is a detox and why you need one?
A detox is a cleansing of your body inside out. There are many forms of detox such as different types of fasting, using internal cleansing products (such as clay) or having colonic hydrotherapy.
Did you know?
The value of body cleansing through colon has been practiced for more than three thousand years. As early as 1500 B.C., the 'Ebers Papyrus', an ancient Egyptian medical document, described the many benefits of colon cleansing.
Don't you think that it is strange that we clean our house, our garden, our car, our clothes even the outside of our body but most of us never clean the inside?
What are toxins and where do they come from?
Toxins are harmful, poisonous materials that our body can't use and eliminate properly. Once they stuck in the body they can possibly cause various diseases.
With today's modern lifestyle getting more toxic by the day, it is estimated that an average person stores about 2-10 kg of waste material just in their colon alone!
You would not think how much toxic material goes into your body every day!
What are the sources of everyday toxins?
Food
Highly processed, modified foods, full of sugar and other additives.
Beauty products
Most of the beauty products are full of harmful chemicals such as perservatives, parabens, fragrances, sodium laureth and aluminium.
Household cleaning materials
(this mostly affects women lol)
Most of the products used at your home from airfresheners to laundry products contain dangerous chemicals. Phormaldehyde, phenol, ammonia, bleach and hydrochloric acid are common ingredients in most of the household products.
Electrosmog
Electrosmog is the invisible electromagnetic radiation resulting from the use of both wireless technology and mains electricity. Now It scientifically is proven that electrosmog affects the brain also linked to headaches, irritability, unusual tiredness and sleeping disorders.
Tap water
Unfortunately in most places they still add fluoride to the drinking water. Fluoride has long been used in rodenticides and pesticides to kill pests like rats and insects.
In the end Fluoride is a highly toxic substance that can cause a range of adverse health effects.
Air pollution
This applies especially if you live in a big city or an industrial area. Air pollutants can be very harmful to our health. The level of effect usually depends on the length of time of exposure, as well the kind and concentration of chemicals and particles exposed to.
