5 Reasons to Detox

5 Reasons to Detox


By Elaine Zeitler, Certified Colon Hydrotherapist and Health Coach



Recently, a lot of attention has been buzzing around about cleansing and detoxification. The topic of juice cleansing and off-the-shelf detox programs are becoming so popular that you probably know at least one person doing such a program. While some folks jump right into a detox program, you may want more information. If so, here are 5 reasons to consider cleansing and detoxification:



1. Jump Start Weight Loss

There is no better way to jump start a weight loss program than to start with cleansing. By eating healthier foods and cleaning the body, weight loss naturally happens. Once cleansing begins, we naturally think before we put “less than desirable” foods into our bodies.

2. Lack of Energy

Lack of energy and fatigue is something we confront on a daily basis. Lack of sleep, poor diet, and stress may contribute to the drain on our energy. Many of the foods and beverages we ingest each day are chock full of chemicals, additives and preservatives. As these substances accumulate in the body, our energy is constantly strained. The body is constantly trying to break these down. When we cleanse, we start to remove these toxins and energy naturally begins to return.

3. Clearer Skin

Commonly, we try to remedy acne and skin problems with medications, creams and visits to the doctor. However, the buildup of toxins in the body manifests itself as an outbreak in the skin. This may take form as acne, rashes and more serious skin inflammation. A full body cleanse offers an improvement in skin outbreaks.

4. Clean Up from the SAD (Standard American Diet)

When it comes to choosing what to eat and nourishing our bodies, there is a lot of confusion. When we go shopping or try to decide what to eat, we are confronted with countless options. While most of these foods are considered safe, many contain chemicals and additives, many of which buildup in the body and are difficult to breakdown and remove. Detox is an easy way to cleanse the body of these toxins.

5. Remove Toxins

Our bodies are constantly bombarded by toxins. Toxins are found everywhere – in the environment, our food, our water, cleaning solutions and even our personal care products. We are in deep overload. It is difficult for our bodies to break these toxins down and sometimes they are not fully eliminated. As we begin to cleanse, we start to remove these toxins and start fresh.
