4 reasons why you should detox so you won't die young

Cancer is the no.2 leading cause of death in the US according the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Cancer is caused by toxins, an acidic environment, and can not thrive in an alkaline body. When a person detoxes, they are stripping the body of all the crap they've accumulated through out their life, this includes bad habits. It's been scientifically proven that negative emotions are linked to disease. Detoxing creates positive new habits, re-hydrates the body, rids the body of toxins, and increases mental clarity.

  1. Create new positive habits.
    The issue with breaking habits is that the feeling of deprivation will usually lead the person to create another bad habit. Sugar addicts may give up sugar to then pick up a sweet n low habit. Artificial sugar alternatives are just as bad as sugar if not worse. Instead, when breaking a sugar habit, find natural alternatives like fruit juice, or stevia leaf so you don't feel like your missing out. One of the benefits from detoxing from sugar is having your taste buds change. What used to taste good will be overwhelmingly sweet. Your taste buds will change from the detox and your food will not need to be sweetened in order for it to taste good. After a detox, your body will create new habits, and will cease from craving sweets.

  2. Hydration is key!
    The increased consumption of H2O does wonders for the body, mind and spirit. Feeling stressed? Glance at some form of open water and let it wash away anxieties, worries and even fears. Headache? Drink more water! Your body will show signs of pain as a signal to you that something is wrong. Before taking a pain pill, just drink water! 75% of headaches are caused by dehydration. IT also aids in digestion. Water moves things along through the organs and help the organs eliminate toxins. Imagine a car engine with no oil, it will end up breaking down. Detoxes should include a lot of water to make sure the body eliminates toxins and cleanses thoroughly. Water will ensure proper organ function for years to come.

  3. Good bye Toxins!
    The lymphatic system is responsible for balancing the body's fluid balance. It keeps the immune system in line. When the body's fluid system is saturated in toxins, it puts strain on the lymph nodes and causes infection. Detoxing rids the lymphatic system of toxins and your organs don't have to work overtime, therefore they can absorb the correct amount of nutrients and vitamins from food, eliminate toxins and rejuvenate the body. The body can't absorb nutrients through a dirty filtration system. Your immune system will stay strong and fight against the flu better than any vaccination could.

  4. Mental clarity
    When the body is cleansed from toxins, there's also a sense of mental clarity that comes along with it. Increased energy is often found after detoxing. The body's organs work more efficiently from being hydrated and cleansed with the natural detoxifying agents from all the fruits and vegetables being eaten. Every fruit and vegetable has benefits, and will often give the body exactly what it needs to re-fuel. Packed with anti-oxidants, natural sugars, and anti-cancer properties, fruits and veggies are perfect companions for the person wanting to cleanse and get the most out of their bodies. Your energy level and immune system would be one to reckon with.

This is just one of my opinions and research I have been doing for a long time. Please get advice from your doctor before doing a detox.

Hope you guys learned something new.

Have a great weekend!!!!
