Holistic Detoxification for Strong Immune System

As summer abuse has de-coordinated your organism, requiring a restart, autumn seems as the best season for detoxification. A detoxification diet is not only used for weight loss, in fact it’s a very basic and useful way to remove harmful toxins from your organism, strengthen your immune system and stimulate the metabolic rate.

This is it, as in addition to a proper detoxification diet, you will be able to burn excess body fat.

However, this is not so important in a similar diet.

Any nutrition imposing prohibitions or a weight loss diet does not necessarily mean that promotes the removal of dangerous toxins from the body.

If this is clear, we can see that a detoxification diet created in such a way, to stimulate the organic function, assisting to cleansing.

Detoxification for Strong Immune System – What it means

First, we make clear that detoxification is a completely natural (and necessary) function of organism to maintain its health and good performance.

ATTENTION: We repeat it here that the detoxification diet has absolutely nothing to do with the various weight loss diets (often completely unhealthy and dangerous for the organic function and nutrition).

A basic point. Our organism needs food for its survival. By receiving food produces nutrients and beneficial substances, aiming at nourishing and enhancing its function.

In cases where this nutrition is not right by consuming unhealthy or junk foods, smoking or living in a toxic environment, or even using many chemicals, then the organism has an even greater need to eliminate all these harmful substances accumulated in it and charging the functioning of all its organs.

NOTE: The development of various forms of cancer is associated with the dangerous accumulation of such toxic substances in the organism.

Therefore, when we mention the term detoxification, we are talking about a process of strengthening the organism in promoting the elimination of toxins.

As already mentioned, detoxification is a completely natural process of the organism performed by the organism itself and more specifically by important organs (such as the liver, kidneys, mucous glands, cells & large intestine).

Nevertheless, if detoxification is a natural function of organism, then why a special diet is necessary for its integration?

A modern man’s diet is different, including a large amount of harmful elements charging the functioning of organism. This is why a more frequent and systematic cleaning process needs for application.

It’s clear that we are referring to the artificial process of removing toxins from organism and not just the biological organic function of organism (not sufficient on its own).

Detoxification is possible via natural processes as:

• urination
• sweating
• defecation

How performed

Detoxification (the artificial and not the biological process performed by organism itself) may be possible in 3 different ways as below:

No.1:The balance of organism’s pH

No.2:The strengthening of body organs participating and carrying out the elimination of toxins (kidneys, liver, lungs, skin, intestine)

No.3:Increasing the effective capacity of detoxification system (xenobiotic detoxification / antioxidant detoxification).

What’s included

A key point in such a diet is avoiding all those elements leading to accumulation of toxins in organism, as unhealthy diet, smoking, substance abuse (alcohol, nicotine, drugs, narcotics, chemicals).

A detoxification diet is mainly aiming at organism’s nutritional cleansing, for enhancing the function of each of its organs.

In this way, the good functioning of all systems and the basic / vital functions of organism are encouraged, while the cellular renewal of organism is promoted.

Here are a number of important steps (not just nutritional) in a detoxification diet:

• the consumption of large amounts of water for proper and adequate hydration
• consumption of natural foods only
• avoiding processed foods
• stop the abuse of harmful substances (as those mentioned above)
• measured caffeine consumption
• avoid consumption of sugar and sweets
• avoid dangerous ultraviolet sunlight
• selection of a non-toxic environment (no pollution, chemicals, or toxic waste)
• give up smoking
• adoption of a lifestyle preventing toxic stress / anxiety / negative emotions
• avoid use of chemicals in everyday life (cleaners, care products, cosmetics)

How “poisoning” of organization manifested

Toxicity of organism – that is, accumulation of dangerous toxins – is unfortunately a daily phenomenon (due to congested environment and poor diet and lifestyle).

However, organism has a way of manifesting the overload of toxins received and forwarding warning signs as:

• intense & unjustified fatigue
• weakening of immune system
• headaches
• joint pain
• stomach aches
• gastrointestinal dysfunction
• dermatological problems
• respiratory problems
• obesity
• cellulite
• brittle hair
• fragile nails
• mood swings
• difficulty memorizing
• abdominal bloating / bloating
• fluid retention
• inability to concentrate
• lack of mental clarity / fog
• cognitive difficulty
• change of mood
• muscle aches
• lethargy
• metallic taste sensation in mouth
• acne
• nasal congestion

The above are the most common signs forwarded by the organism in case has many dangerous toxins trapped and needs an intensive cleansing and restart.

Detoxification: Why to start now

Following the summer holidays, we usually have loaded our organism with many toxins (due to many abuses).

Therefore, it is the ideal time to make a new and dynamic start, to integrate with new forces the new winter season coming in a few weeks.

The vital restart of organism helps to regain its strength, re-strengthen its damaged immune system (preparing for the coming winter viruses), and increase the vitality of its cells and to become regenerated.

During winter, a detoxification process is much more difficult for the organism.

The reason is simple, as in winter, mainly due to cold weather and many viruses, is not the right time to charge the organism with a detoxification diet.

Winter should find the organism ready and strong, with a good immune system, increased energy, in good mood and with a strong / healthy body and clear mind and thought.

In autumn, there is a good opportunity to adopt new good habits and make a fresh new beginning.

I have found that after each summer, a holistic detoxification process helps my body get back on track and pick up its pace again.

I prefer a body cleansing diet combined with meditation and yoga for the “awakening” of organism and mind again, following a summer of rest & inactivity.

A proper detoxification program combines cleansing of organism and mind, strengthens the thinking process and memory, while stimulates the physical strength and energy.

Holistic Detoxification: What is it

Many organic disorders are due to increased charge of organism by harmful toxins.

When these toxins remain in the organism (failing to eliminate them), lead to the development of serious dysfunctions and cause serious diseases.

In some cases may even lead to death.

The removal of toxins promotes the wellness and longevity of the individual.

This is the basic principle of Ayurveda and the holistic approach to life.

These practices used for hundreds of years achieved a healthy organism, clear mind, balanced psyche, and an organism not affected by aging prematurely.
