| To detox the body is not a new idea, but it certainly has seen a renaissance in the past few years. For centuries, natural physicians have used whole body cleanses to assist their patients recover from all sorts of ailments.
Overweight:
Overweight people have more toxins in their body than a thin person because the body stores excess toxins in fat cells.* An added benefit of purging toxins is losing weight. The middle fat that makes you shaped like an apple is unhealthy. It increases the risk of metabolic syndrome (High blood pressure combined with high triglycerides and high cholesterol resulting in prediabetes). An increase in only 1-2 inches is a warning sign to get moving and and look at your diet.
If you gained weight after age 20 it is typically unhealthy weight gain, says Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School for Public Health. An increase of 10-15 pounds increases your risk of diabetes appreciably.
On the other hand, a 140 pound woman that loses 10 pounds (or 7 percent of body weight) can reduce her risk of diabetes by 60%.
Note: An additional benefit we found is it is not uncommon for patients to lose up to 7-12 lbs. of weight during their 10-Day Detox. This occurs because fat tissue stores excess toxins, and as you purge these toxins, the body is now able to operate more efficiently and burn the fat for energy.
JoAnn Manson, MD, chief of preventive medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School states that if you gained 20 pounds or more it is most likely fat that you gained. Women's waist should be not larger than 35 inches, men's 40 inches. Experts worry that anything bigger than than 32 is bad for you.
Reducing belly fat may reduce the risk of breast cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and kidney cancer, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund.
Tired:
Are you tired, sluggish, fatigued, or just not as energetic as you used to be?
Toxicology textbooks list the first symptoms of chronic poisoning as low energy, fatigue, muscle weakness, inability to concentrate and intestinal complaints.
Headaches:
Did you know that the average household contains over 1,000 potentially harmful chemicals? Or that we contribute 700,000 tons of pollutants into the air every day from the products we use daily? Did you know that the air inside your house can be two to five times more polluted than the air outside?
Food additives, sugar, alcohol, caffeine withdrawal, constipation, hormonal imbalance and exposure to irritants, such as pollution perfume, or after-shaves are all causes of headaches.
Digestive Problems:
A healthy digestive system eliminates its content one to three times daily. If you do not have at least one bowel movement a day, or if you have flatulence or chronic indigestion, it may be due to a build up of toxins.
Peppermint, one of the ingredients in the 10-Day Detox soothes the stomach and bowels. It also inhibits the growth of certain bacteria.*6,7,8 Artichoke, another key ingredient enhances digestion, fights free radicals, cleanses the blood, and reduces cholesterol.
Allergies:
Did you know that the average household contains over 1,000 potentially harmful chemicals? Or that we contribute 700,000 tons of pollutants into the air every day from the products we use daily? Did you know that the air inside your house can be two to five times more polluted than the air outside?
Conventional health care in general only deals with masking the symptoms of allergies and food sensitivities, rather than attempting to solve them.
Disclaimer: Consult with your physician prior to beginning any detoxification program. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, such as weed and grass, you might have an increased risk of allergic reactions. Do not consume this product if you are, or you think you might be, allergic to any of the ingredients.
Over The Counter or Recreational Drug Use:
Any drug, even if it is prescribed by your doctor, or sold in a drug store as safe to use has to be metabolized by your liver, your prime organ of detoxification. Your liver is also busy doing a lot of other things that keep you alive, and if it gets too overloaded, it can't process all the toxins, so instead of processing them, it stores them within the liver itself, as well as in organs and in fat cells. Over a long period of time this might result in liver damage.
Aches and Pains:
Arthritis pain may be related to a toxic reaction to specific foods (food allergies), dehydration from adequate intake of water, a very common problem, and bowel toxemia.
A healthy bowel breaks down proteins into amino acids, carbohydrates into sugars, fats into fatty acids, manufactures vitamins (B12, biotin, vitamin K), degrade toxins, prevent colonization by pathogens, crowd out other less beneficial species, stimulate the immune system and produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) from fiber, which are the primary energy source for the cells lining the colon. The bowels also play several critical roles in immune function. After manufacture in the bone marrow, immune cells migrate and mature in colonies often accumulating in the walls of the bowels.
