Six Benefits of Detoxing Your Body

There are lots of detox programs floating around out there.  I am sure you have heard of them and wonder if they can benefit your body.  Do you even need to do a detox?  How would it benefit you?  The thing is, your body detoxes all on its own, every day.  Your liver has that very important job, and it is really good at it.  However, it can only handle so much.  And when the liver is overloaded with toxins, they begin to build up in your body.  This build up of toxins can start to have a negative impact on your health.

So, how do you know if you need a detox?  Here are some signs pointing you to the nearest detox program: weight gain, allergies, muscle or joint pain, headaches, constipation, heartburn, brain fog, acne, autoimmune disease, just to name a few.

The good news is, you don't have to feel like this forever!  Helping your body with detoxification can get you feeling your best again.  

Six Benefits to Detoxing Your Body

Weight Loss

Of course you can expect weight loss during a detox or cleanse in the short term.  Cutting out sugar, gluten, dairy, etc will result in weight loss initially.  However, after you have finished your detox program, you will have picked up some new habits, you will be feeling great, and with all of your energy you will find time to exercise!

Stable Energy

Cutting out all of the foods like sugar and processed goods and replacing them with lots of fruits and vegetables will help maintain your energy throughout the day, instead of crashing in the afternoon.  Drinking plenty of water will keep you hydrated and will assist with moving along the detoxing process.

Clear Skin

Your skin is your largest organ and it is part of the detoxification process.  You will often find dry brushing and saunas as part of the process.  Sweating out the toxins is a way of helping the body along.  However, as toxins are released some may find that their skin or acne gets worse.  While unpleasant, understand that it will improve and it is a sign that your body is detoxing and the process is moving along as it should.  

Better Breath

Usually detox programs include lots of foods that are really good for cleansing the colon.  This makes sense because we get rid of a lot of toxins through our colons and bowel movements.  If you poke around the internet at all, it is supposed that bad breath is linked to a clogged or backed up colon.  As digestion improves, so should bad breath.  

Immune Boosting

Detoxes help our immune system function better?  Think about it.  A detox program is helping our body along with one of it's natural processes.  As the body detoxes, our organs and systems are able to function as they should without being bogged down by the process of detoxification.  

Clear Mind

Lots of detox programs include rest and meditation as an integral piece of the process.  As toxins are removed from your body, the brain fog begins to lift.  Thinking clearly and using meditation to get in touch with your body during detoxification will not only teach you how you are supposed to feel when you are well, but it will also give you a deeper understanding of your body and how it works.
