Optimizing the Body’s Elimination and Detoxification Pathways

Optimizing the Body’s Elimination and Detoxification Pathways

The elimination of toxins has been considered  a mainstay of wellness for centuries. And, it’s really much simpler than is sounds. Here are a few ways to optimize your body’s natural detoxification:

1. Promote Daily Bowel Movements by drinking plenty of water and eating fiber (plant material); use enemas and colonics as necessary.

2.  Use Saunas for Detox… (unless you doctor advises otherwise). Fat tends to hold onto toxins, and it has been shown that regular saunas, help to detoxify and improve health.

3. Healthy Foods Help to Detoxify the Body… the key to detoxification is through lifestyle… exercise, drinking plenty of pure water, and eating foods that promote the elimination of toxins… fruits, vegetable, nuts, and seeds. Try to eat at least 51 percent raw each day. Raw, living foods are packed with nutrients and are easy to digest, providing your body with energy and the power to detoxify.

Ann Wigmore, the founder of the Living Foods Lifestyle, felt that dis-ease is the result of toxins that have built up in the body and a lack of proper nutrients. And, she taught that “Living Foods” are important to achieve and maintain wellness because they are packed with nutrients, easy to digest, and aid in detoxification.

Abdominal Bloating and Distention: Digestive Distress!

We constantly have clients that complain of abdominal bloating and distention. This is often caused by gases that build up in the intestines. You might wonder what could cause all of this gas! Some of the possibilities include a lack of fiber in the diet, overeating animal protein, dairy intolerance, or intestinal parasites. Take a look at this article by Josephine Goffe-Gardner, RN, ND to find answers related to abdominal bloating and distention.  

What Might Colonics Do For Your Colon and Other Organs?

Cleansing… The introduction of water into the colon breaks down fecal matter allowing it to be eliminated along with accumulated toxins, parasites, etc. Waste that remains in the colon for extended periods tends to be reabsorbed into the blood stream putting a burden on the liver and other organs or detoxification.

Increased Muscle Tone… The alimentary tract is a muscular tube that extends from the mouth to the anus. This muscle can become atonic or weak and may result in constipation and/or hemorrhoids due to straining with defecation. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon during colon hydrotherapy sessions may increase tone and peristalsis (the movement of waste through the colon).

Normalization of Colon Shape…Impacted fecal matter and weakened muscle and tissue in the colon can result in bulges, spastic issues, and constricted areas. The gentle filling with water bathes and massages the cells. This may increase circulation in the tissues and assist with eliminating irregular shaped areas in the colon.

Hydration and Relaxation… Most colon therapists are trained in massage and various techniques to help you help ease you into a state of complete relaxation during your cleansing session. Once the parasympathetic nervous system is activated (necessary for rest and digestion), complete release becomes possible. Some of the water infused into the colon is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, which may aid in eliminating toxins through the skin, kidneys and bowels.
