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, our 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.
