Detoxify Your Body for Optimal Health and Vitality

Why Detoxify?
In our high-stress, industrial world, toxic compounds that find their way into the air, the water and the food we eat are sadly abundant. Our body can become over-taxed trying to purge itself of these dangerous substances becoming unable to expel them through the usual means of the lungs, skin, kidneys and bowels.

When the body cannot rid itself of harmful toxin, they are stored in various body parts such as fat, joints, the brain and other tissues. Over time, the accumulations of toxins can lead not only to a lack of vitality and beauty, but also serious illness. Some of the symptoms experienced with a buildup of toxins:

- A general lack of well being.
- Poor skin complexion/acne.
- Congestion and poor breathing
- Feeling tired even after a good night’s sleep.
- Bloating, poor digestion, gas or constipation.

Detoxification is a great way to reverse damage and regain greater health, energy and beauty.

How to Detox?

Aerobic exercise is a key component of any detoxification regime. Oxygenating the body and flushing toxins out as we work up a sweat is very beneficial. Get at least three days of any enjoyable aerobic exercise. You'll only need about 30 minutes per day to have a substantial effect!

The food we eat and how we eat it has a large effect on our body's ability to detoxify. Some simple guidelines to follow:
- Eat regular, healthy meals created from the freshest ingredients. Make sure to include deeply colored vegetable and fruits and buy organic whenever possible. Avoid processed and fast food!

- Try and reduce/cut down on sweets and alcohol as they lack nutritional value and add to fat composition.

- Drink your water!!!! One of the best forms of detoxification is drinking the required amount of water to flush the body of unwanted toxins.

Holistic therapies such as Massage and Body Wraps help to draw toxins out from skin, muscles and organs aiding the body to return to its natural balance and stimulating tired systems back into action.
