Detoxification
is the body’s natural process of elimination of toxins through the kidneys, intestines,
lungs, lymphatic system, and skin. You can support
your body's ability to detoxify through positive lifestyle choices such as
enhanced nutrition, limiting toxic exposures, increased physical activity and
stress reduction. In general, you need adequate intake and assimilation of all
essential nutrients: mineral, vitamins, amino and fatty acids. While body's
detox system does not directly depend on each single one, they are needed for
good overall health. Any serious deficiency or imbalance in these nutrients
will disrupt body processes, including the body's detox system.
In particular, there
are some nutrients that your detox system directly depends on. A healthy,
wholesome diet goes long way in providing you with both, essential and
non-essential nutrients, including those specifically needed by your detox
system. Don't forget that water is an active detox agent. Make sure it is
plentiful in your body, at all times.
It is of utmost
importance, that the liver function and the kidney function be supported at the
same time during which detoxification is happening. Supporting the function of
these two vital organs can mean the difference between a failed or successful
detoxification.
Your emotional state
also plays a large part in your body detoxification. What can we do to recharge
the soul? A simple method is to take a weekend vacation. The purpose of the
vacation is to clear the mind and remove anything troubling for the soul. It is
therefore important to your well-being. Remember, they are all part of a
system. What the mind perceives, the body conceives. This is the same as
"you are what you eat". Not only do you have to watch what you eat,
but you should also watch what you say, your subconscious mind can either be
your biggest asset or your most formidable liability.
