How to boost your immunity and reduce toxins
Detox is vital in this toxic world. As a health coach I used to focus simply on digestion because I believed that good digestion leads to a healthy life. But then one day after completing my first detox myself a light went off in my head. I realized that to have good digestion, you must be detoxing properly.
You see, detox is a natural step toward a better digestion. Good digestion leads to less inflammation, and less inflammation leads to less disease in this world. Let me say it again, decrease the inflammation and prevent disease.
Hippocrates said it best: “All disease begins in the gut.”
If this is true and disease begins in the gut, aka your digestive system, then having a healthy and strong digestion is key.
But let me share a secret with you – when the body is toxic, your digestive system is weak.
So even if you eat “clean” and only buy organic and hormone-free foods, you are still breathing toxicity in this world.
We live, eat and breathe toxicity every day. Look around your home and think of the paint on the walls, the rugs, the pesticides sprayed on your green grass, the awful stuff to get rid of the bugs. Even if you are chemical-free in your home, is your makeup chemical free?
Even if you are doing your best to live a chemical-free life, unfortunately the world we live in isn’t and that means eating, breathing, and sleeping in toxic environments lots of the time.
It is time to wake up to what I call daily detox.
Now detox is not a curse word or anything to be scared about. Instead, it is exciting to think about your body and cells actually functioning. I do not tell people detox has to be living on juices, or water only, or only smoothies or just salad or soup. Detox is about lessening the toxic load in your body. As I say, “taking out the bins.”
When we are toxic, our body cannot perform its job. The body cannot metabolize properly, detox properly, absorb nutrients and minerals, or stay hydrated. It is a vicious cycle. See, detox is necessary to be healthy, happy and free of disease. We all have some low-level inflammation because again we breathe, but even more so we stress in this busy world.
Every time you stress you create acid in your body. Your body is then forced to pull minerals to buffer the acid waste. The liver, lymph and kidneys begin to work hard to filter out the toxic load.
But what happens when the body is tired and clogged? When your digestive system is not working and cannot break down these foods, it cannot focus on getting RID of TOXINS. That means you cannot get rid of bloat and fat and skin breakouts and all that crap that keeps you tired.
TOXINS=>WEAK DIGESTION=>WEAK IMMUNE
- Difficult weight management
- Constipation/diarrhea
- Gas/bloating
- Headaches
- Low energy
- Low sex drive
- Bad skin
- Heartburn/reflux
- Moodiness/depression
- Get where I am going with all of this?
By detoxing you will improve digestion and free your body of inflammation and toxins in the process.
The foundation of my detoxes is NOT to ever feel deprived or starved.
The goal is to help you do what I have learned to do in my own life: learn how to EAT CLEAN and learn what foods are IRRITATING your body.
