Deep-Tissue Detox

We are bombarded by so many chemical toxins in the environment, from pesticides, pollution, plastics, synthetic fragrances and other sources, that our bodies simply can't get rid of all of them efficiently. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to assist your body in eliminating toxins.

1. FIBER:  Adding more fiber into your diet will greatly improve your body's ability to get rid of toxins. Look for: Psyllium husk, inulin and beta-glucans.
   
2. EXERCISE:  Getting your blood pumping improves the movement of lymph through the lymphatic system. It also helps reduce overall body fat, which helps the body release stored toxins.
   
3. SAUNAS:  It assists the body's adipose tissue in releasing toxins through a process called heat depuration. Start with 15 minute sessions and make sure to stay properly hydrated.
   
4. CHELATION:  Chelation is a process in which certain agents are used to rid the body of toxic chemicals and heavy metals.

   Note: When using chelating substances, consider taking a multi-mineral. Chelating not only removes toxic metals, but good minerals like zinc and magnesium.
