5 Reasons Every Body Needs a Detox

by Vanessa Galati-Drew

Feeling exhausted lately? Having skin problems, aches, and pains or digestive issues? Gaining weight or unable to lose weight? It may be time for a body detox.

In today’s world, we’re exposed to a multitude of toxins everywhere we go—air pollution, food preservatives, carcinogens, medication overload, cleaning products, even chemicals in the water we drink. As these toxins add up over time, they can cause major health problems, from under-eye bags to a general lack of well-being.

Detoxification has been practiced for many centuries in many different cultures, to relax, rejuvenate, and replenish the body. Here are five major reasons to detox:

1.     Get an energy boost.

Cutting out extra sugar, caffeine, trans fats, and saturated fats, and replacing them with fresh fruits and vegetables, triggers a natural energy boost, one that comes without a resultant crash. An ionic foot detox delivers an energy boost even more quickly. In just 23 minutes, harmful toxins are pulled out of every cell of the body, right through the reflex points of the feet into soothing warm water.

2.     Flush out excess waste.

Colon hydrotherapy is an important part of the detoxification process. A backed-up colon can cause toxins to be reintroduced into the body rather than exiting it as they should. Sticking with fruits and vegetables even after the detox program is completed is a good way to keep things moving.

3.     Lose weight.

The heat from a FIT Bodywrap breaks down stored fat and converts it to fatty acids that the muscles use for energy. We can see that process at work in real-time, as the body heats up and produces sweat fueled by energy from the converted fatty acids. A 60-minute FIT session burns serious calories.

4.     Boost immunity.

A working lymphatic system balances body fluids improve fat absorption and boost immunity, so it’s important to keep that system in tip-top shape. Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage improves the circulation of body fluids. By allowing the body to release toxins, accumulated fluid, and proteins between the cells, a healthy balance is restored.

5.     Improve skin.

Regular use of an infrared sauna improves the skin’s appearance and heals open wounds more quickly, with reduced scarring. Far-infrared heat therapy helps heal acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions, and cuts. It also reduces wrinkles, makes skin look radiant, and firms, and improves skin tone and elasticity. Regular use may also help reduce cellulite trapped beneath the skin.

I turned to holistic natural medicine, including detoxification, after conventional medicine failed to help me with digestive issues and I almost died from a ruptured appendix that was misdiagnosed. Colon hydrotherapy helped me heal.

Since then, I’ve dedicated the last 12 years of my life to helping others rebuild their health and well-being. By eliminating harmful toxins from the body and then nourishing it with whole, healthy foods and nutrients, we can restore our natural ability to maintain optimal wellness and prevent disease.
