The importance of detox and weight management….

Our bodies have a natural in built detox system – made up of the digestive tract, urinary system and the liver, these help to process the chemicals modern life throws at it – these chemicals are called toxins – toxins are poisonous and have harmful effects on the body.
Most people are exposed to low level toxins everyday because of our environment. Chemical preservatives may help food last in a cross country trip but only add to the toxin count in our bodies.
Tiredness, dark circles under the eyes, dull skin and bad digestion are all symptoms of a toxic body.
You must be able to get toxins out of your system fully as you lose weight, otherwise fat will not release them and you will struggle to lose weight past a certain point.
In order for your body to release stored toxins you need to alter your diet (detox) this involves cutting out alcohol and caffeine – two of the biggest culprits, prepare your meals from natural foods free from additives and preservatives, saturated fat and sugar and for maximum benefits steer clear of wheat and dairy.
The benefits you will receive – weight loss, more energy, healthier skin, stronger immune system and a healthy digestive tract.
