Detox & Health in a Nutshell

If you’re struggling with chronic health problems, chances are you’d greatly benefit from a detoxification program. If residual toxic chemicals remain in fat and the brain, then what are the future consequences? South Africa is presently in top 5 list of countries dealing with obesity issues.

The ultimate detox routine will mobilize toxins from fat to blood over a period while eating a high nutrition, calorie-restricted diet. Studies on body fat proved that fat contained 140 – 150 x higher levels of toxins than blood.

Studies have assessed the level of toxic chemicals in the visceral fat (under the skin and around the body organs) +/- 1000 x higher in fat than the blood serum levels of the average person.

The average levels of chlorinated pesticides found in fat can also be 1000 x higher in fat compared to blood serum. We only need to study the results on water analysis to understand this problem.

The two biggest surface areas are the skin and the GI tract. You can mobilize toxins from the skin by sweating (sauna) & exercise but also using the GI tract to pull it out. Detoxification is the process but it is actually mobilization of the toxic chemicals, and then having a way to eliminate it and to excrete it out. Good healthy water is crucial to our well-being.

‘Detoxification’ by medical terms is only in the liver. For these purposes a liver flush is essential.

But to avoid toxic exposures, your best bet is to use a proactive approach to clean out your body on a regular basis. A deep intestinal cleanse 4 – 6 times a year is advised. Keeping a healthy gut is crucial to optimal functioning of the gut and for these purposes a daily supplement of probiotics is essential.

Nutrition is ultimately the answer to all our ‘dis-eases’ since ‘we are what we eat’!! ‘Dis-ease” is merely a state of imbalance that needs to be corrected at cellular level in a well-balanced lifestyle.

1. Nutrition: In the past our healthy foods supplied all our nutritional and probiotic needs. NO MORE!! The answer lies in going back to basics. Edible gardens not only satisfy these requirements but also allow our children to participate in taking responsibility over their own bodies and health.
2. Adequate amounts of Sunshine.
3. Regular Exercise
4. Good Water
5. Healthy Spiritual State
6. Adequate Rest

The body will only respond to a fine balance of each of these facets. YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN HEALTH.
