DETOX YOUR BODY 

Simona Stepancic BSc, RHN, ROHP, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Orthomolecular practitioner and Raw Food Coach

Body cleansing has been around for thousands of years. In ancient times people cleansed the body and the mind.

Detoxification today is even more important then in ancient times. Today we are exposed to millions of pounds of chemicals in our environment. Toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, plastics, petrochemicals, heavy metals, pollutants in our water, additives in our food and residues from drugs, cigarette smoke, dental filings and paints irritate our bodies, making them more prone to disease and ailments such as allergies, cancer, arthritis, heart disease etc.

Our bodies are overloaded and work overtime to eliminate toxic materials from tissues and organs.

Detoxification helps the body open all channels of elimination to remove toxins and waste deposits.

 

There are a few detoxifying techniques that you can incorporate into your life.

 

1.      Drink water

2.      Eat organic nutrient-rich food

3.      Exercise

4.      Dry skin brushing

5.      Infra-red sauna

Foods that Heal

Simona Stepancic, BSc, RHN, ROHP, Holistic Nutritionist, Orthomolecular Practitioner and Raw Food Coach

Foods that we eat daily shape our body, emotions, mind and spirit.

What we eat and how we eat also reflects a state of harmony within ourselves, the environment and the planet.

Food heals, prevents, and in some cases fights disease. Certain food can make us beautiful, while some causes inflammation in the body. Knowing this, it is easier to become conscious about our food choices.

Eating organic, fresh living plant food such as fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, sea vegetables, sprouts, and high quality oils is essential to get the glow, and experience vibrancy and aliveness.

These foods contain minerals, vitamins and plant pigments which are disease preventive phytonutrients and anti-aging antioxidants.

Phytonutrients are naturally occurring substances that plants create for their own protection. They give plants their colour, taste and flavour, strengthen digestion, detoxify your body, preserve your beauty, but most of all they are anti-inflammatory and have the greatest preventive effects against free radicals and inflammation.

The goal is to eat as many anti-aging antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods as possible to boost the immunity and obtain lustrous hair, vibrant glowing skin, and strong healthy nails.
