Detoxifying Tips10.31.08

The idea of detoxifying your body is to allow your body to purify and revitalize. Below are some hints to maximize your detoxification:

1) Change your eating habits, add more fibrous food to your diet and eliminate red meat, sugar, prepackage and over processed foods, then you could prevent toxins from entering your body. This will allow the cleansing process to focus on waste already in your colon, and not toxins from what you’re eating. Also avoid alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. A detox will be wasted flushing these toxins from the body, instead of the harmful ones that have been built-up in your body over the years.

2) Also by drinking plenty of water, you are hydrating your body to accomplish positive results. Drinking of water will also assist in excreting waste from your colon, as well as improving your skin.

3) Transform stress into positive energy then you will be able to facilitate proper digestion which promotes the absorption of essential nutrients. Stress puts a strain on your colon which can prohibit it from working properly. If the colon does not work properly, all the toxins may not be excreted appropriately and can build up in your bloodstream.

4) By sweating as much as possible your body rids itself of harmful toxins because when the body gets too hot, the brain tells the body to cool down by sweating. While detoxifying, sauna and hot showers also help you to do this best - you get rid of the body’s pollutants by stimulating sweat at a high temperature. Toxins purge out of the skin eliminating about 30% of waste. Common waste which does not excrete through urine and stool are being discharged through skin by these methods.

5) By incorporating Cardiovascular Exercises, ie. jogging, swimming and walking while your cleansing process, you could increase oxygen in the blood which results in increasing your energy level. This will also raise your body temperature so over a period of time and your body will sweat out the accumulated toxins.

Does Beauty Come in a Basket?09.26.08

we resort to quick fixes - eye creams that claim to reduce puffiness and dark circles overnight, weight loss pills that will magically make you shed five pounds in one week and “potion” lotions that make your skin “firm” and “glow.”

Furthermore, the vitamins and minerals that must be ingested are now formulated in skin products. Can beauty be found in a jar?

After your nightly routine, you look into your reflection and can’t help but notice your beauty “problems” - greyish skin, brittle hair or acne.

“What you’re actually seeing is a reflection of the inner imbalances not only by a lack of the vital beauty essentials - a detoxed system, purified water, powerful proteins, beautifying oils, immune-boosting fruits and veggies, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and balanced hormones - but also by toxic overload and mental, emotional or spiritual blocks,” said Ann Louise Gittleman, author of The Living Beauty Detox Program: The Revolutionary Diet for Each and Every Season of a Woman’s Life. However, after cleansing (detoxification), a well-balanced diet and exercise will help you feel wonderful.

Gittleman prescribes a different cleansing diet for every season, focusing on the organs that are affected by climate change. Her methods are based on traditional Chinese medicine. “The right nutrition, internal cleansing and hormonal harmony are the pathways to attaining natural beauty and vitality,” she said. Gittleman redefines beauty by breaking down the necessary foods one should eat, turning beauty inside out.

Is detox safe?09.15.08

Celebrities such as Beyonce and Gwyneth Paltrow hail their dramatic short-term effects, but what are detox diets and are they good for you?

With our busy lifestyles, we are almost constantly looking for a quick-fix to losing weight and staying healthy. In doing so, many people turn to detox diets, which promise quick weight loss and the expulsion of nasty toxins.

“Detox diets play into the popular myth that harmful substances in our food build up in our body and cause negative health effects like obesity, fatigue, headaches and more,” says Jennifer House, registered dietitian and owner of First Step Nutrition in Calgary.

“The truth is that the primary organs in our body are well equipped to remove wastes. The liver, kidney and large intestine are the best detoxification systems. The claims for detox diets are baseless, and no scientific studies support them.

“They are expensive, and the companies promoting them as health remedies do so purely for financial gain.”

There have even been some frightening results from people who took it too far. According to Britain’s Times newspaper, Dawn Page, 52, received the equivalent of about $1.5 million after suffering permanent brain damage while on a detox diet that ordered she drink a lot of water while reducing salt intake.

House notes that prolonged fasting or the removal of certain food groups can lead to nutritional deficiencies such as anemia and cause low blood sugar and headaches.

The lack of grain, dairy and meat products quickly leads to a lack of micro- and macronutrients, both of which are essential.

“Sticking to a whole-food diet of fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, meat and alternatives, and whole grains would be a balanced and healthy diet,” House says

Detox helps to keep mice livers young08.11.08

New York Deterioration of the liver can be prevented by improving the way it rids itself of toxins, scientists have found.

Mice given a double dose of a gene involved in the “detoxing” process had the livers of striplings, even when they reached the mouse equivalent of 80 years old. Although the technique used is impracticable for improving human health, it could point the way to drugs that would have the same effect.

As bodies age, their cells get less efficient at removing damaged protein, resulting in a build-up of toxic material that damages functioning. The process may underlie degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Writing in Nature Medicine, Ana Maria Cuervo, of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, said: “Our study showed that functions can be maintained in older animals so long as damaged proteins continue to be efficiently removed – strongly supporting the idea that protein build-up in cells plays an important role in ageing itself.”

Should you detox?06.22.08

Detox diets echo everyone’s dream — a cellulite-free body, glowing skin, fast weight-loss and energy-levels never experienced before. And, of course, there are reed thin celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and curvaceous Beyonce Knowles who swear by diet regimes that “flush out dreadful toxins from the body” and gain an enviable figure in the bargain. (Knowles attributes hers to her water-cayenne pepper-maple syrup diet called Master Cleanse — the most-searched recipe on Google in 2007 according to the Los Angeles Times).

While spas, gyms and some weight-loss clinics cannot stop raving about detox programmes like Fruit Flush (only fruit diet) and sometimes even an only-water diet, most nutritionists and specialists have their eyebrows raised at their principles and benefits.

Lack of medical research and studies to show whether our bodies really benefit from a detox diet, says Dr Alpana Shukla, consultant endocrinologist at Bombay Hospital, is reason enough to rubbish all tall claims. She maintains the term, ‘detox’, itself, is trite — not to mention inappropriate. “Detox diets are sold under the pretext of strengthening your system from pollution, stress and the processed food and alcohol. But the real reason why people turn to them is for instant weight-loss. As for actual detoxification, healthy kidneys, liver, lungs and skin do an excellent job of it anyway. If you eat healthy, you will never need this drastic quick-fix.” In most cases, adds Dr Shukla, the lost weight is regained in no time - and worse, with added kilos.

Colon Cleanse - 5 Tips for Colon Cleansing at Home06.01.08

1. Colon Cleansing Using Herbs

Herbs are very effective in keeping your colon clean. Some take herbs in supplement form, drink them as teas or powder versions while others make their own mixture of herbs as part of their cleansing regimen. Fiber-rich herbs are popular options since fiber has been known to be effective at getting rid of harmful toxins.

Flax seeds increase intestinal volume and this is good for your colon because increased volume means a higher occurrence of what is called peristaltic motion. Peristaltic motion is the movement of intestinal muscles and this initiates the passage of bowels along the colon.

Psyllium is also a popular colon cleansing herb. It has laxative properties that promote the elimination of bowels and act as a sponge, attracting waste material then flushing it out of your system.

2. Fasting Using Vegetable or Fruit Juices

Fasting to cleanse the colon usually involves the use of vegetable or fruit juices. It is best to use freshly squeezed juices but if you do not have time to prepare these, you can use pre-packaged juice as long as it is completely organic. Fasting not only helps clean the colon, it also promotes overall health. It helps other body organs such as the liver and kidneys eliminate toxins.

It is beneficial to your digestive system as well since fruits and vegetables are easy to digest. This gives your system the opportunity to rest and it can even boost up energy levels. Fasting also destroys toxins which make them easier to flush out of our system. Before going on a fast, remember to consult a doctor to be extra safe.

    Well, waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for some time, poses several problems. First this material is quite toxic. These poisons can re-enter and circulate in the blood stream making us feel ill, tired or weak. Second, impacted materials impair the colon's ability to assimilate minerals and bacteria- produced vitamins. And finally, a build-up of material on the colon wall can inhibit muscular action causing sluggish bowel movements, constipation, and the result of these disorders.
