Detoxing brings many benefits
If you feel listless, want to improve your skin appearance or simply want to shed a few pounds, then you should consider detoxing. Through different programs, your body will be cleansed. This gives you new energy, which makes you fit for everyday life again.
Definition: What is detox?
Detox comes from the English and is a short word for "detoxification". It refers to the process of cleansing the body of harmful substances called toxins or waste. The goal is to strengthen one's health and promote well-being. There are different methods and types of detox.
Good reasons to detox
Our body is exposed to certain pollutants every day. A distinction is made between two different types.
On the one hand, there are the external pollutants that we absorb through food or the environment. Medicines, molds in the home or also chemicals in the clothes are only some examples. Likewise fats or sugar count as well.
On the other hand, there are the internal toxins, which make themselves felt as slags. These are body waste products. Among them are uric acid, certain bacteria or even cholesterol.
Normally, the body is able to "dispose" of all these harmful substances on its own. However, it is also possible to support him in this process. Detox is thus not mandatory for medical reasons, but can have positive effects on your own body.
Furthermore, it may be assumed that not every body breaks down the slags equally well and thus the own support is required.
Methods and types of detoxing
There are different methods of detox that use different techniques to cleanse the body of harmful substances. We have summarized a few types for you.
Detox diets include the restriction or the renunciation of certain foods. Detox diets can therefore also be compared with the fasting, since also partly completely without solid food. Instead, much liquid is taken in the form of water, unsweetened tea or vegetable as well as fruit juices.
Detox massages stimulate lymphatic flow and improve circulation. There are several techniques that can be used in a detox massage, including kneading, rubbing and tapping. Some detox massages also use special oils or wraps to help cleanse.
Sauna sessions increase the flow of sweat, thereby ridding the body of toxins. The body temperature is increased, which stimulates blood flow to the cells. To achieve the desired goal of detoxing, you should visit a sauna at least twice a week.
Regular physical activity helps to speed up metabolism and is one of the cornerstones in Detox. Through the exercise sessions that make us sweat, we excrete toxins through the skin. Thereby you can decide completely freely, which kind of sport you want to pursue.
The benefits of a detox
- Energy boost: Many people report that they have more energy during or after a detox program.
- Weight loss: Although not the primary goal of a detox, it can help you lose a few extra pounds, as calorie intake is reduced.
- Improving the skin: Toxins are flushed out of the body, which has a positive effect on the complexion. Blemishes are thereby minimized.
- Improvement of digestion: Detoxing can support digestion by cleansing the intestines and improving intestinal functions.
Detox at home
You can detox at home in different ways. We would like to share 5 tips with you, how you can start your detox program relaxed from your own four walls.
- Drink enough water: Water is important to keep the body hydrated and support cleansing. Try to drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
- Eat enough fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants and nutrients that can help detoxify the body. Five servings of fruits and vegetables are recommended.
- Avoid bad habits: Smoking, alcohol and too much caffeine can stress the body and make it difficult to cleanse. Therefore, try as much as possible to avoid or minimize these habits.
- Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity can help speed up metabolism and cleanse the body. Try to incorporate some exercise into your daily routine every day.
- Take a detox bath: Special warm detox baths are healthy, relaxing and cleansing. A bath of about half an hour causes you to sweat and at the same time absorb the beneficial active ingredients through the skin.
It's always best to consult your trusted physician before starting a detox at home.
