Body detox, why do one?

After years of housing harmful toxins, you might notice mild side effects like foggy thinking or skin problems. If these toxins aren’t eventually cleared from your body, they could damage your internal organs or lead to disease.

A detox session has endless benefits, but here are just five of them.

1. Reduce inflammation. Inflammation occurs when your body is exposed to injury or foreign substances. During this process, your body uses white blood cells as a barrier to protect itself from bacteria, viruses, and infection — often caused by exposure to toxins.

2. Purify your blood. That cheeseburger and French fries from the drive-through may have sounded like a good idea, but they’re clouding your blood with harmful components. Eating fast food means ingesting chemicals that may stay in your body forever.

3. Lose weight. You can diet and exercise all you want, but if your body’s holding onto toxins, you may not lose weight effectively. These harmful chemicals can slow your metabolism or even bring it to a stop.

4. Sleep better. Do you feel like you never get good, quality sleep? It could be your body telling you it needs a detox. Sleep deprivation can lead to poor performance in your career and, even worse, a lifetime of chronic disease.

5. Boost your circulation. When your blood is free of toxins, it will flow freely through your vascular system

You only get one body in this lifetime. Freeing it from harmful toxins and chemicals can give you many health benefits while offering a peaceful time.
