At Chiron Wellness Institute, we offer a holistic approach to health and wellness. We believe that for a body to get well, you first need to ensure that it is clear of harmful toxins to enable it to absorb things better. Before any procedure is taken, a detox program is encouraged for better results.
Why detox? What’s that about?
Recently, detox has become a buzzword in most circles with lots of people purporting its uses and effects, but what exactly does it do, and how does it work? Normally your body is equipped to naturally remove harmful toxins without the need for specialized meals, supplements, or diet. However, you can also enhance this natural detoxification system and enhance the effects.
Even if you live a perfectly “healthy” lifestyle of no smoking, having organic all plant-based meals, no hard liquor, and taking note of the products you use daily to prevent you from coming into harmful toxins, you still need to detox. Why? Simply because as much as you control what you eat, drink, and interact with (external factors) some things are unavoidable because they are all around us. We don’t live in a bubble and our level of control is only so much.
Therefore, it’s important for us to constantly ensure that our bodies continue to stay clean and away from harmful constraints.
What happens when you detox?
So what exactly are the benefits of detoxing?
- Helps you to maintain a healthy body weight easily
- Assists in preventing diseases
- Allows you to sleep better
- Your body has more energy
- Ensures adequate and better sleep quality
- Rids your body of excess waste
- Improves your skin and also allows for healthier hair growth
How can I optimize my body’s natural detoxification system?
Here are a few tips that you can use to optimize your natural detoxification system.
- Limit your alcohol intake.
Did you know that more than 90% of alcohol is metabolized in your liver? The live enzymes digest the alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is a known cancer-causing chemical. However, the liver identifies this as a toxin and further converts it into acetate and is removed from the body. There are several studies that show that low or moderate intake of alcohol consumption is good for certain heart health benefits, however, excessive drinking can cause harmful health problems such as damaging your liver functions.
- Drink more water
We underestimate the importance of drinking water as it does so much more for your body than quenching your thirst. It also regulates your body temperature, helps you indigestion and absorb nutrients as well as removes harmful toxins from your body.
- Reduce your sugar intake and other processed food
Several studies have shown that there is a link between high consumption of sugar and over-processed foods to obesity and other chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. These diseases harm the organs that are responsible for helping to detoxify your body such as the kidneys and liver. You should replace your junk food intake with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Chiron Wellness Institute Detox Guide
At Chiron Wellness Institute, we provide various detox programs that can help you maintain your body and keep it healthy and strong.
- Ionic Foot Detox
The ionic foot detox removes all the harmful toxins in your body and alleviates your system. The best thing is that it is not a difficult procedure, all you have to do is place your feet in the water while they run a low current run in water. (All harmless and non-painful). As relaxing as this sounds, in 20 mins you are able to see visible signs of the toxins your body is expelling. These are impurities that have been removed from your entire body in just a few minutes!
- Infrared Sauna.
Did you know that your skin is the largest organ? This means that most of the time we are able to “sweat out” toxins through our skin. The FAR -infrared sauna is an effective way of removing harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and other poisons. It is also beneficial to your cells and DNA.
- Lymphatic drainage massage.
I know that some of you might be wondering how a massage would be effective for detoxification. Well, a massage isn’t just for relaxing but can also help to “unstick” all the toxins in your body and move them around for ease of expulsion.
- Ozone therapy.
Ozone produced for medical use has incredible healing properties. This is done by passing oxygen through an electrical current, thereby gaining an extra atom to form ozone. Using ozone therapy for detoxification has been seen to improve almost all systems in the body such as cardiovascular, nervous, immune, and gastrointestinal.
