FEELING sluggish after indulging in turkey, chocolates, wine and
cookies during the festive season? Have the holidays left you
with ill effects to our health? Do you know that bloating,
blemishes, tiredness, lack of energy, dull hair and skin, bad
breath and digestive disorders can all be signs of excess waste
or toxins in the body?
It is not unusual for toxins to build up in your system after
the New Year celebrations. These have a disruptive effect on
your health as liver detoxification slows down.
Toxins are poisonous substances that are chemically unstable in
the body.
They are an accumulation of normal body by-products that haven't
been eliminated.
Toxins get accumulated through environmental pollutants
(cigarette smoke, exhaust fumes), alcohol, food additives,
chemicals, heavy metals and pesticides.
For instance, a high consumption of alcohol can leave toxins
that lead to lasting damage such as cirrhosis and liver
dysfunction.
A detoxification plan is thus needed to get us back on a healthy
track. It is important to follow the detoxification plan (detox,
rebalance and reshape) at least once a year or any time if you
are feeling lethargic and have poor digestion or elimination.
Herbal detox: milk thistle, dandelion and organic spirulina
Organs of detoxification are the liver, kidneys, large
intestines and the skin. A main focus of naturopathic
detoxification routines is improving liver function with
targeted food and herbal medicines.
Herbalists the world over have held dandelion in high regard for
centuries. Dandelion root has an extremely high nutrient
content.
Human and animal studies show that dandelion increases bile flow
and helps get rid of liver congestion, bile duct inflammation
and gallstones.
This herb can be best combined with other liver herbs such as
milk thistle for better effect.
Silymarin, which is found in the herb milk thistle, is known to
protect the liver by altering and strengthening the structure of
outer cell membranes of liver cells.
It prevents toxins from entering the liver cells and stimulates
the regenerative ability of the liver.
Silymarin, as an antioxidant, may also reduce damage caused by
free radicals and drugs.
It increases the glutathione content of the liver by 35 per cent
in healthy subjects.
Glutathione is responsible for detoxifying a wide range of
chemicals. It gives the liver an increased capacity for
detoxification reactions.
Organic spirulina is ideal for those undergoing a detox
programme. It is low in fat and calories, with no cholesterol
content, making it suitable for weight- control.
The pigment chlorophyll in spirulina helps in detoxification.
Many health professionals also advocate the use of spirulina
during juicing (sprinkled onto vegetable and fruit juices and
broths) as it provides the vital nutrients such as the B
vitamins and calcium.
Apart from that, the bioavailability of iron in organic
spirulina is important to those on detox programme or dieters
who are on low-calorie diets and prone to iron deficiency.
Remove with juices
For many years, fresh fruits and vegetables have been used by
natural therapists to help cleanse and restore the body to good
health.
Consuming only fresh, diluted juices from various fruits and
vegetables for a day or more is a safe and helpful form of
fasting.
Start with well-tolerated vegetables such as celery, cucumber
and fennel. Dark-green leafy vegetables such as spinach, pegaga
(pennywort), parsley, lettuce and cabbage can be considered too.
Fresh fruits and vegetables juices should be drunk on the day
they are made, preferably right after juicing to ensure maximum
nutrient content.
Here is a detox recipe you could try on yourself and your
family.
