Spring: Detox Health Supplements |
|
|
Detox Time According to Chinese medicine, spring is a time of building Chi (lifeforce), which makes this change of season experience the perfect time to detox. Not only will it help shed that extra winter weight, but a detox will zap-up energy levels ready for the increased mental and
physical activity of Spring.
Detoxing is simply a process of 'jump starting' the body's natural clearing processes by increasing lymphatic drainage, promoting metabolism,improving circulation and increasing elimination of toxins via skin, lungs and bowels. Our liver is the master cleanser- filtering blood to remove toxins, and secreting bile and other fat-soluble toxins. Any toxins present in the body are expelled in a mild and natural way through the kidneys and intestines.
|
A Fresh Start: If you have had an indulgent, indolent winter, and as a result are feeling sluggish, limit intake of coffee, carbonated drinks & alcohol, and replace with 2-3 litres of water daily. Water not only increases the oxygen to the cells, but it also thins the "fats" in the blood so that they can be eliminated from your body
Cut down on liver-stressing foods, such as refined sugars, processed foods, red meat, saturated fats, bread and pasta, for at least 4 weeks. Add in fibre-providing vegetables, such as cabbage, broccoli, celery and brussels sprouts. Dark leafy greens provide iron for that essential pep. Eaten fresh & raw, fruits, vegetables & juices also provide important digestive enzymes and fibre for intestinal cleansing. Include yogurts too to boost probiotic 'gut' bacteria.
And include some protein foods such as eggs and fish, which assist the liver in the breakdown of stress hormones and pollutants.

Nutritional supplements aid elimination and regeneration to make your spring detox experience more successful:
• Milk thistle extract (silymarin) is the most popular herb to regenerate the liver and increase digestive health
•
Dandelion root is a blood and kidney cleaner and tonic, as well as a diuretic. It can be used as a general cleansing stimulant for the liver.
• Psyllium husks provide much needed fibre for a colonic cleanse
• Probiotics provide gut bacteria for digestive and intestinal health
• NAC breaks down mucous in the respiratory tract & also protects the liver from the adverse effects of exposure to several toxic chemicals
• Antioxidants (vitamin C 1g; vitamin E 400iu; selenium 200mcg) regenerate cells and eliminate damaging free radicals |
Be an Early Bird! Step up your metabolic efficiency with a chosen exercise regime. Remember to go to bed early during your detox by 9pm to rest and rejuvenate. |
