Why Detoxify?

In our high-stress, high tech, industrial world, toxic compounds that find their way into the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat are sadly abundant. Your body can become over-taxed trying to purge itself of these dangerous substances becoming unable to expel them through the usual means of the lungs, skin, kidneys and bowels. That being the case, they will be stored in various body tissues such as fat, joints, the brain and other tissues. Over time, the accumulations of toxins can lead not only to a lack of vitality and beauty, but also illness.

Some of the symptoms you may experience if your build up of toxins is high are:

• A general lack of well being
• Poor skin complexion/condition
• Congestion
• Feeling tired even after a good nights sleep
• Bloating, poor digestion, gas or constipation

Paying attention to your body's detoxification needs is a great way to help reverse any damage done and helps in regaining greater health, energy and beauty.

How to detox?

Aerobic exercise is a key component of a detoxification regime, oxygenating the body and flushing many toxins out as we work up a sweat. Get at least three days of any enjoyable aerobic exercise. If you can, do your chosen activity five or six days per week. You'll only need about 30 minutes per day to have a substantial effect!

The food you eat and how you eat it has a large effect on your body's ability to detoxify. At the very least, follow these simple guidelines:
Eat regular, healthy meals created from the freshest ingredients you can get. Make sure you include deeply colored vegetable and fruits. Avoid processed and fast food!
Try and reduce/cut down on sweets and alcohol as they lack nutritional value and add to fat composition.
Drink your water!!!! One of the best forms of detoxification is drinking the required amount of water to flush the body of unwanted toxins. You've heard it before: at least eight glasses a day.

Holistic therapies such as The Spa - Los Gatos' Body Detox Wrap help to draw toxins out from skin, muscles and organs aiding the body to return to its natural balance and stimulating tired systems back into action.

Of course the most optimal way of regaining and maintaining your health, beauty and vitality is to combine these three detoxification methods and incorporate them into your daily wellness plan.
