Weight Loss/ Detoxification
Our society is obsessed with diet and weight loss. Just turn on the computer or the news and you are inundated with all the different ways to lose weight and every method promises that if you follow the rules, you will be healthier and happier. These ads work, in fact the average woman will go on eight diets a year. In spite of this, obesity is at an all time high and is becoming an epidemic.
It would appear that these diets are not helping. So where does that leave you if you are looking to lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle? First, consider booking an appointment to learn more about the healthy changes you can make. Then, continue reading to learn about how toxins could be affecting your weight struggles.
Weight Loss and A Healthy Lifestyle
Weight Loss Detox
Maybe you’ve tried several diets and the weight comes off at first. But then life happens, and the weight creeps back. So you try to diet and again the weight comes off. You add in exercise this time too. But then life happens again, and here comes that weight you lost.
It is a vicious, unhealthy cycle and a depressing one as well.
What if you knew that there are toxins building up in your system which are preventing you from truly losing the weight and keeping it off? It is true that you do need to have a healthy diet and exercise, but that is not the only thing that needs to change. You need to detoxify your body and cut down on the toxins in your life.
What are toxins? The definition for toxin is “A poisonous substance, especially a protein, that is produced by living cells or organisms and is capable of causing disease when introduced into the body tissues but is often also capable of inducing neutralizing antibodies or antitoxins.” That can sound scary, and they are all around us. You may not realize how many toxins you are exposed to each day. These can be found in:
Gasoline
Plastics
Shampoo
Food Additives
Food Coloring
Pesticides
Fertilizers
Perfume
Cosmetics
Dyes
Fabric
For some of the above items you can make changes. Choose a different shampoo, try an organic fabric, or stop using plastic and switch to glass. Some you can’t, either because you can’t make the changes (switching a gasoline powered car for an electric one) or because they are simply in our environment.
But why do these toxins matter if you want to lose weight? You are ingesting or inhaling them, so they are inside your body. Some of the toxins are water soluble- this means that your kidneys and lungs will help to remove them from your body so they do not build up as much. Others are fat soluble and your body will envelop them in fat cells to protect you. But this leads to resistant fat and these toxins can disrupt hormones, which leads to an increase in stress fat storage and a decrease in metabolism. If you want to read more about how toxins affect the fat in your body you can read the article “Most Weight Loss Programs Don’t Work.”
In order to get these toxins out of your body, you need detoxing. To begin, you should contact us to set up an appointment. Just as you might take an antibiotic to help your body fight off an infection, you employ a detox product to help your body fight off toxins.
Detox Drinks for Weight Loss
The long term goal is to take in fewer toxins. But first you need to deal with the toxins currently in your body. Using a detox drink can help you begin that path.
An option to try is the Total Body Cleanse: These pre-measured packets make it easy to complete this 7 day cleanse. This cleanse is designed to help lessen cravings for unhealthy foods, regulate your digestive system and boost vitality and improve mental clarity.
Best Weight Loss Detox
The Wellness Shop has several options for weight loss detox. One of these options is the DETOX kit. This kit contains all that you need to purify your liver, kidneys, bowels and blood. Detoxing can alleviate many symptoms including fatigue, headaches, anxiety and depression. The kit helps with internal detoxing. Because we live in a toxic society, it is important to do cleanses to help maintain your health.
The FIBER Wheatbran and Psyllium Supplement will also help with the detoxing process. Remember, part of the reason many struggle with weight loss is that there is a buildup of toxins in the body. These two fibers in this product work to clean debris from your system through scrubbing the colon and absorbing and sweeping out toxins.
A quick search on the internet will tell you that there are many options for detoxes available out there. Having guidance along the way will ensure that you are making the correct selection.
