Detoxification - Rebooting your internal systems

Updated: Aug 19, 2019


A seasonal Detox can be a great way to reboot your internal systems and get your body cleaner and healthier.


Our bodies do have very sophisticated built in detox functions but they can be so overloaded and stressed by this modern day life.


Some important things to consider are our main organs for DETOX


*LIVER.........Cut Alcohol,eat more Cruciferous veggies 

*KIDNEYS....Drink more water

*SKIN............Sweat-saunas (see below) and exercise more

*GUT.............Reduce inflammatory sugars,eat more soluble fibre

*BRAIN.........Meditation will rewire your nervous system


THE ULTIMATE DETOX..A Three, Five or Seven Day Water Fast!


 “No Way” you might say but water fasting is recognised for its many health benefits dating back to Hippocrates, and although challenging at the beginning, by day 3 you feel absolutely amazing.


If I can give up food for 5 days anyone can!


Fasting changes the function of cells, genes and hormones in a positive way,


*Reduction of weight and belly fat

*Decreases blood sugar and Insulin levels

*Improves Insulin Resistance 

*Increases Human Growth Hormone

*Stimulates Autophagy-the cleaning out of dead and dysfunctional 

  cells and replacement with new ones.

*Improves Heart health by lowering cholesterol and triglycerides 

*Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation 

*Improves GUT microbiome dramatically 

*May help protect against Alzheimer’s and other neurogenerative diseases


While it is true that water fasting is the most intense path to detoxification and therapeutic benefit, if you just can’t get your head around not eating for an extended period YOU can try the LeanCo. 5 DAY FASTING MIMICKING DIET (all the benefits of fasting without the pain!) based on The Longevity Diet... Professor Valter Longo’s scientific protocol introduced in 2015.

SOME LIKE IT HOT!

and I am one of those, enjoying some down time once a week at my local Cryospa Clinic Crows Nest.


Latest research is showing there are definite health benefits associated with acute heat exposure in the form of low EMF Infrared Saunas.


Heat therapy is an almost universal human tradition. The ancient Greeks, Romans, Scandinavians, Russians, Japanese, Koreans and Indigenous North Americans all sat in heated rooms and got really, really hot and sweaty deliberately, to improve their well being.


We have in the past scoffed at this and many other ancient wisdoms but current research into saunas is showing there may indeed be merit in raising your core body temperature for about 30 minutes. A recent study out of Finland showed that people who took the most saunas had the lowest rates of dementia.

*Clears and tightens skin

*Improves Insulin sensitivity

*Reduces Inflammation 

*Strengthens Immune system
