TOXINS build up in your body

We probably all have toxins accumulated in our system. And what is the best way to deal with them? I believe undertaking several long-term measures are a better approach than drastic short-term steps . For instance, rather than fasting for a few days, I prefer reducing caloric intake to a lower level then I’m accustomed to over a period of 2 to 3 weeks. I am not convinced that any of the so called drastic “detox diets” that recommend a strict regimen of lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, etc, etc., are beneficial.

Through all my years of working in both the medical field and as a personal fitness trainer, I have come to realize that the body does not like going off balance too much and for too long. Our body tries to maintain homeostasis, a balanced state where everything is functioning properly. Fasting or these ‘drastic detox’ regimens alter this homeostasis, often in a harmful way. Liver glycogen stores are depleted, alterations occur in the mineral and electrolyte balance in the blood, muscle and bone tissue start breaking down, changes occur in the acid base balance, alterations occur in the fatty acid composition of cells, and immune function may be impaired. Eating a very healthy DIET, monitoring your calories and nutrient breakdowns, is a better option in the long run.

TOXINS are the direct result of poor lifestyle choices. A bad DIET that includes lots of fast food, processed food, white sugar and alcohol is to blame for much of the toxin build up in an individual’s body. An environmental toxin, such as air pollution and being around cigarette smoke certainly doesn’t help either. Antibiotics destroy the natural flora in your intestines and leave room for bad bacteria to take up residence. EEEEEW!

Today’s lifestyle has added toxins to our bodies that we wouldn’t have dealt with before refined and processed foods became the norm in diets. There are many ‘cleansing products’ available at Vitamin Shops & Health food stores that you can take in conjunction with a healthy DIET.

At Bodyvisions, we have many clients inquire about colon/liver/kidney detox agents as well as colon hydrotherapy. We outline specific supplements & cleanses for our clients and have a preferred colon hydrotherapy specialist our transformers and athletes utilize. Keep in mind, eating a healthy diet is vital, plur drinking enough water along with supplementation ensures you're continually ridding your body of unhealthy toxins.
