Our body has a lot of natural detoxification systems built in. Still, we must support our bodies by cleansing our internal organs at least once a year to reset our system.
Given that the liver is your largest internal organ, it has nearly 500 different functions within the body. Aside from detoxification, it also plays a critical role in digestion, nutrient absorption, metabolism, and cardiovascular health. Keeping your liver clean and functioning optimally is the key to total body health and vitality.
Your body is miraculous. It helps you do everything from eating delicious foods and driving to work to walking around town and laughing with your friends. Amid all these activities, your body is exposed to hundreds of thousands of toxic chemicals a day.
After years of housing harmful toxins, you might start to notice some mild side effects like foggy thinking, skin problems, metabolic disorders, etc. If these toxins aren’t eventually cleared from your body, they could damage your internal organs or lead to acute/chronic ailments.
Well, here are 10 Reasons as to why I recommend to do a detox at least once a year as an Ayurvedic Physician
- Weight loss – toxins can be harmful to the cells and tissues of the body. Humans have a built-in protective mechanism which is to encapsulate and safely store the excess in your fat cells. Unfortunately, this means as the toxic load becomes greater, your fat cells grow as well. The good news is as you eliminate toxins, you also shrink the fat cells and release weight you may have been holding onto.
- Increased energy levels
- Joint pain relief -When Toxins are expelled the body is flooded with antioxidants which thereby reduces inflammation that is often correlated with swelling and pain, especially in the joints.
- Improved digestion
- Boosted immunity – ridding the body of burdensome toxins helps strengthen the immune system so you are better able to fight off bacteria and viruses before they transpire into colds, flu or infection.
- Reduced cravings
- Stabilized mood
- Clearer skin – the skin is a primary channel of elimination and directly reflects the internal environment. When your system is clean, as seen after a detox, your skin will appear smoother, more vibrant, and youthful.
- Improved sleep – the de-stress of a detox helps calm the brain and hormonal system which promotes deeper, more restorative sleep.
- Sharper mind – toxins impair both mental and physical function. As you remove them from the system, brain fog lifts while memory, mental clarity, and focus improve.
As you can see, detox is so much more. This full-body reset helps boost energy, improve mental clarity, reduce hunger and cravings, minimize aches and pain, rebalance hormones, restore sleep cycles, support digestion, and strengthen the immune system.
Rather than going on yet another restrictive and unsustainable diet, consider jump-starting this year with an Ayurvedic Detox!
