Phoenix Area Body Toxins

Our bodies are full of toxins which are accumulated harmful substances that are alleged to exert a negative effect on individual health.  Body toxins can cause congestion, chronic pain, allergies, fatigue, swelling, constipation, stomach bloat, headaches, poor skin, acne, body odor, bad breath and even depression.

If you are feeling sluggish, having skin problems, experiencing aches and pains or digestive problems, it might be time to detox to rid your body of toxins. Detoxification is the process of cleaning the blood. It does this mainly by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. However, when this system is compromised, impurities aren't properly filtered and every cell in the body is adversely affected.

Simple Ways to  Detox Your Body

• Exercise

• Eat Healthy- Eat plenty of fiber, including brown rice and organically-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Beets, radishes, artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, and seaweed are excellent detoxifying foods.

• Take vitamin C daily. Vitamin C helps the body produce glutathione; a liver compound that drives away toxins.

• Drink 2 quarts of water daily.

• Cleanse  the liver by taking herbs such as dandelion root, burdock and milk thistle, and drinking green tea.

• Steam in the sauna once a week. Your body will eliminate toxins through perspiration.

• Take time out of your day to focus and take deep breaths. Breathing deep allows oxygen to circulate more completely through your system. Yoga is great for breathing exercises.
