Cleanse Your Body and Colon and Melt Your Stress Away

DeStress through Detox 

This is HUGE! Before any other stress management plan you have to detoxify your body.

"Detoxification" means the removal of toxins from the body. We humans absorb toxins—preservatives, pesticides, stimulants, and heavy metals on daily basis —through food, water, and air. Also, your own body produces toxins, called metabolic waste products, as a natural result of processes like digestion and respiration.

Luckily, your digestive, endocrine, and circulatory systems come equipped with a complex set of mechanisms designed to eliminate these toxins through your mouth, eyes, skin, colon, urinary tract—even your breath.

The trouble is that too much of foods that increase stress levels, little to no exercise, and stress can slow the body's natural detox function to a sluggish pace.

The result is a buildup of toxins that can leave you fatigued and suffering from poor digestion, and that may even lead to disease.

Body toxins not only trigger tension headaches, premature aging and excessive weight but also add to an overall stress picture.

The opposite is true as well: for an effective detox process it is very important to reduce stress hormone cortisol overproduction, which can slow down the detox process. When cortisol is not taxing the body, detoxification happens more effectively and with greater ease: all the toxins look for a way out. The digestive, lymph, and circulatory systems can work efficiently again.

Good way to counteract the release of stress hormones like cortisol is to operate from parasympathetic nervous system dominance which provides deep relaxation.

When to detox?

As well as deciding which detox programme is right for you, you must also establish when and how often you will detox. It is best to choose times when and you are able to rest and unwind in a natural environment. As such, weekends and holidays are ideal.

All of us would benefit from at least two longer detoxes every year; more if we are dealing with health challenges. When it comes to scheduling all this, it is wise to look not only at your own calendar, but also at a lunar calendar, as certain phases of the moon favour detoxification while others do not.

In the words of Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe in their book Moon Time: "The waning moon detoxifies and washes out, sweats out and breathes out, dries, consolidates, prompts to action and the expenditure of energy."

The body's capacity for detoxification is at its highest each month on the day of the new moon. Choosing to consume only juices or light meals of raw fruit and vegetables every new moon is a great health habit to get into. It is also advantageous to do this, or at least eat a very clean diet, on the day of the full moon, for the opposite reason: this is the day on which the body's capacity for absorption is at its highest.

Your two opportunities for super-powered detox

Each year there are two periods when your body's capacity for detoxification is greatest of all: the two equinoxes, spring and autumn. This knowledge has existed in all civilizations since ancient times, but it is largely lost in the modern world where it's possible - and not unusual - to live as if seasons did not exist.

Top 5 Ways to Cleanse Your Body

Top 5 Ways to Cleanse Your Body

1. Remove toxic foods that clog your body!

This seems pretty obvious yet most people have no idea which foods are actually toxic to their body. Start off by limiting (or ideally removing) dairy, refined sugar and starches, and stimulants like caffeine.

2. Alkalize your body

Incorporate more greens into your diet in order to raise the alkalinity level within your body. There are numerous benefits for doing so but none more important the simple fact that your blood needs to be slightly alkaline and that cancer does not grow in alkaline environments. Greens can come in the form of salads, green juices or smoothies, and superfoods like raw sprouts, green barley grass or wheat grass.

Alkalizing foods are also the most cleansing for your body as they are very water-rich.

3. Drink plenty of water

Water is essential to flush out toxins. This is especially important if you are following a cleansing diet as many toxins will be coming out of hiding and may produce various detox symptoms. Water will quicken the removal of this "waste" and clean out your body's pipes.

4. Sweat it out!

One of the ways we detoxify is through sweat. Therefore, anything activity that will induce a good sweat is helpful. Working out, running, yoga, or even sitting in a sauna are great ways to open your pores and expel unwanted toxins.

5. Support your liver

The liver is the major detoxification organ in your body. Too often, most peoples' livers are heavily toxic due to poor diet food choices and other lifestyle stressors such as drinking, smoking, and high levels of stress.

Try starting your day with a glass of lemon water - a very good cleanser of the liver. Other liver supporting nutrients can be derived from drinking dandelion root tea and eating antioxidant rich foods like berries and pomegranate.

Remember, detoxification naturally occurs on a daily basis. So too does toxin production. However, you choose which one will be more prevalent.

Why Cleanse?

We detoxify and cleanse body for health, vitality, and rejuvenation.

We cleanse our body to clear symptoms, treat disease, and prevent future problems. A cleansing program is an ideal way to help you re-evaluate your life, make changes, or clear abuses and addictions. Withdrawal happens fairly quickly, and as cravings are reduced you can begin a new life without old addictive habits or drugs.

Detoxification is also helpful for weight loss, although this is not the primary purpose. The body stores toxins in fat cells. When you cleanse your body these toxins are more easily released from their fat stores. Since you then become less toxic, your toxin stores (the fat) are not as necessary and, thus, your body can rid itself of excess, unnecessary fat.

Weight loss also occurs on a cleanse simply because there are fewer calories being consumed. Since weight loss boils down to creating a caloric deficit, eating less overtime is a simple way of losing weight.

We also detoxify and cleanse to rest and heal our overloaded digestive organs. This is often an overlooked, yet very important, area considering optimal health truly begins with the health of our digestive system.

Aside from the internal health benefits, detoxification can also be a great catalyst for external change. For instance, it can provide a great opportunity to reflect and re-evaluate what’s most important to you. It can serve to help you cleanse your house, your work, your relationships. After a cleanse, you will even feel more organized, more creative, more motivated, more productive, more relaxed, and more mentally focused and clear.

So, if you want more energy, greater vitality, more youthful and radiant skin, and greater health for life, then cleansing should be a regular (annual or semi-annual) part of your life.
