Do You Need A Detox?
The body undertakes a process called detoxification to eliminate toxins and be able to maintain a healthy balance of all its functions. It does this all day, and all night, working around the clock. We are constantly exposed to toxins that naturally occur within the body, and toxins from our surroundings. Humans have evolved to be able to withstand changes around us; but what happens when harmful toxins are evolving in a much quicker pace than we do, what with our fast developing modern world. What happens is that the body’s toxic burden is increased and it puts a lot of strain on its ability to cope.
Whether you want to eliminate the toxins that you are already exposed to, or just want to detox because you want to be in tip-top shape and be healthy optimally, we can help.

Renewed Life after Detox
During detox, and after it is done, it is important to reduce the toxic exposure that the body encounters throughout the day. A detox diet will be recommended to encourage eating clean, and reduction of toxins coming from food. The diet will be rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, low in animal fats, and will contain anti-inflammatory and alkalising foods.
Avoiding stress as much as possible would be helpful as well. The practitioner will investigate with you any chemicals coming from household cleaning items, personal care products, plastics from food containers or water bottles that could be bringing toxins and give recommendations on how to avoid or minimise exposure.
A regular detox would be advisable to maintain optimal health. The average detox is every six months, or twelve months. At the end of each detox program, you will surely be looking and feeling much better inside and out.
