'Spring Cleaning' for Your Body
When your car looks a little dirty
you probably take it for a thorough cleaning.
We give our homes a full cleaning when they get a little messy. But we do not often
give the same consideration to our bodies.
The same style spring-cleaning concept
is very helpful for the human body and especially for our digestive health. We often
call this kind of total-body cleansing, detoxification.
What is Detoxification?
It is a complete process of eliminating waste and cleaning out all seven of the key
organs of the body. Bowel movements are only one of 7 areas of elimination
in the body. In addition to the colon, the body eliminates waste through the blood,
kidneys, skin, lungs and lymphatic system.
There are many ways to give your body a thorough cleansing.
Skin: The Largest Organ
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. When you sweat your skin eliminating
is eliminating toxins. Some of this is waste leaving your lymphatic system and other
parts are waste that was stuck in the pores of your skin. Steam baths or saunas
will increase the amount of sweat that your body normally produces and essentially
wash out the poisons from your skin and lymphatic system.
A variety of herbs can assist in the cleansing process. Some are used to purify
the organ systems and others are revitalizing herbs that will sooth and heal the
organs after a cleansing.
Healthy Elimination
People often discuss bodily elimination is through the colon.
This area certainly
needs a cleansing routine and colon hydrotherapy is one such method. Colon hydrotherapy
is a process whereby warm water is used to gently clean the colon. This also encourages
the muscles within the colon to work more consistently. Colon hydrotherapy has also
been shown to be a successful method to naturally cure a bout of constipation.
Dietary Fiber
These high-fiber foods will help your body to get rid of toxins by attaching to
the fibers as they pass through the colon and are eliminated.
FIBER SUPPLEMENTS are also a good option if you are unable to get enough fiber from the foods you eat.
Numerous regular daily activities you will help you to continue the cleansing process
of your body throughout the year.
A healthy dieting plan is one such change. A diet
that includes a good measure of fiber (fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and beans)
will greatly support ongoing digestive health.

Detox Supplements
Regular use of vitamin supplements can assist the body in staying healthy, and being
more capable of protecting itself.
Vitamins with antioxidant properties, such as
Vitamins A, B,C and E and other minerals such as selenium and zinc give us extra
power to eliminate toxins.
