Detox – Why it should be your New Year’s Resolution

 

Quite simply, because the world is full of toxins. And what are toxins? They are poisons and we are subjected to them daily whether we like it or not.

 

They are everywhere. In the air we breathe – be it from vehicles, industrial plants, glues, paints, or air conditioning; in the water we drink; excess alcohol; medications; prolonged stress and the food we eat, to name just a few. 

 

A while ago I used to do supermarket tours with clients giving them recommendations of what to buy. Even in those days we stuck to the outside aisles where all the fresh vegetables, meats, fish, chickens and dairy were, because in the aisles just about every item was processed junk full of additives, preservatives, and chemicals.

 

These days the situation is worse – the vegetables are full of pesticides, phosphates, nitrates and other substances to make them grow quicker or last longer on the shelves. Meat and chicken could potentially have growth hormones and most dairy is heavily processed. Today I recommend shopping mostly at the local baker, butcher, fish monger and greengrocer. Use the rule – if it wasn’t around 100 years ago, don’t eat it.

 

What do toxins do? They cause a massive acid build up in your body and make us fat and sick – and eventually cause premature death. Ask yourself this – how many overweight or obese people, and people with cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid problems and heart disease were around 100 years ago?

 

Virtually these “lifestyle diseases” were non existent. 

 

A hundred years or so ago people consumed natural foods and water, breathed cleaner air, never had as much stress and never consumed the kinds of medications we use today. Plus, they were a lot more active.

 

Detoxification is now not an option. It’s a given. Bring it together with regular exercise and good nutrition; it’s the secret weapon in ensuring good health, well being and fat loss.
