Detox
Our bodies naturally detoxify everyday as part of a normal body process. Detoxification is one of the body’s most basic automatic functions of eliminating and neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Unfortunately in this day and age, with the pollution found in the air, water and food we eat, our bodies have a hard time keeping up. Our chemicalized diet with too much animal protein, too much saturated and trans fats, too much caffeine and alcohol radically changes our internal ecosystem.
Body systems and organs that were once capable of cleaning out unwanted substances are now completely over-loaded to the point where toxic material remains inside our tissues. Our bodies try to protect us from dangerous substances by setting it aside, surrounding it with mucous and fat so that it will not cause an imbalance or trigger an immune response (some people carry up to 15 extra pounds of mucous that harbors this waste).
Detoxification through special cleansing diets and colonics is the best way to assist your body’s natural self-cleaning system. It is especially important for immune-compromised diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes and chronic fatigue. However, even if your diet is good, a spring cleanse can revitalize your system and rid your body of harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites. It is a simple three step process.
This process cleans out mucous and toxins from the intestinal tract and major organs. There are many ways to eliminate toxins from the body however the most popular, effective and safest forms of detoxification are through Herbal Cleansers and Colon Hydrotherapy.
Weapon no 1. Oxygen water http://www.o2siphon.co.uk
When you detox your body, the key is to get rid of toxins and clear out anything that’s not meant to be there. Oxygen therapy can give you energy and help you burn off some of the toxins. Whether you’re looking to get rid of any excess carbon dioxide that’s built up in the body or you want to make sure that there is no lactic acid in your muscles, you need a large amount of fresh oxygen to help get rid of these things. A large amount of oxygen in your body can also help bring up your internal temperature to help you burn off excess calories. When you take in a lot of oxygen, your body can absorb vitamins and nutrients more efficiently and create more white blood cells. Your white blood cells work to fight off harmful bacteria in your body. These are just a few of the ways that an abundance of oxygen in your system can actually if you’re going through a detox.
Weapon no 2. Colon Hydrotherapy http://www.harmonicbodyclinic.com
Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe effective method of removing waste from the large intestine, without the use of drugs. The filtered, temperature regulated water is introduced into the bowel via a disposable speculum. This softens and loosens the feces, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis down through disposable waste tubing that is piped away through the colon therapy machine. There is no odor and modesty is maintained at all times. This flushing process is repeated during a therapeutic treatment. Check out where to find a colon hydrotherapy clinic near you.
ENJOY YOUR HEALTH NOT JUST DREAM ABOUT IT!

Do you think of water as plain, bland, uninteresting?
That’s too bad. Especially if you’re trying to lose weight. Drinking water instead of high calorie beverages can be a short-cut to easy weight loss.
Did you know that if you eliminate only one soda or glass of juice per day you’ll automatically lose 10 to 15 pounds over the course of a year?
As a kid growing up in the desert I remember how we would gang up around the water fountain after recess. When I was hot and thirsty, there was nothing sweeter than the taste of cool fresh water. Yet as we grew up many of us learned to prefer sweetened sodas, juices, or fancy coffees.
Luckily it’s possible to retrain your brain to love water as your beverage of choice.
When you drink sweet drinks, even the no calorie version will stimulate your brain to crave sweets. Your addiction to sugar will decrease if you eat fewer sweet things. Soon you’ll be surprised how many things will taste far too sweet.
Keep an eco-friendly bottle of water at your desk. Place a glass of water on your nightstand so you can drink it first thing in the morning. Carry your own water with you in the car. Take a bottle of water with you to the movies.
Consider installing a quality water filter. It’s important to follow manufacturer directions and change filters frequently. While distilled water is pure, it lacks essential minerals that your body needs and which give water a pleasant taste. It’s okay once in a while, but don’t drink distilled water on a regular basis.
Remember my description about how great water tasted after recess? Condition your mind to associate drinking water with anything you enjoy. Every time you take a sip think of something or someone you love. Imagine beautiful scenes of water in nature – a waterfall, a rainbow, the sea. Think of drinking water as a shower for your insides. (You wouldn’t want to take a shower in soda would you?) Keep telling yourself how much you love the taste of water.
This is especially true if you often eat at restaurants. Saving a mere $2 to $5 per day adds up to $700 to $1800 saved per year. That’s no small change!
Are you familiar with Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work with water crystals? His experiments suggest that our thoughts can influence the molecular structure of water. Appreciate the fact that you have abundant fresh water on tap when many in the world do not. Give thanks for your water. Bless the water before you drink it and imagine it carrying those blessings to every cell of your body.
Many people seem to have the impression that in order to lose fat, they need to run long enough and fast enough to get in the “fat burning zone”.
I guess this is probably due to the fact that most treadmills have those green, yellow & red bars for how hard you’re working…but it’s just not true!
Yes, getting your blood flowing and working up a good sweat can burn a lot of calories quickly, and if you have a deficit of calories (on a consistent basis) and you’re still receiving proper nutrition, you WILL lose weight over time.
However, by utilizing “supersets” (i.e. short, high-intensity clusters with small breaks between), your body will respond with hormonal and metabolic power boosts! =)
When you run for a long time, and get in the habit of doing so at the same approximate speeds, your body responds by adapting to the speeds and intensity, which typically shows results at first.
But, after doing cardio routines for a few weeks, your results will plateau, and there is only so much room to work with when you have only 3 main variables: speed, incline & duration.
