| If 4 or more of these apply to you, it’s time to detoxify |
Detoxification is a natural means of helping your body to
“catch up” to the toxins that can pollute your inner environment.
To find out if you should consider detoxifying, take our
detoxification self-test below. If you get a score of 4 or higher, you may
benefit from a detox:
Detoxification Self
Test
Skipped bowel movements can be a sign that your body’s solid
waste elimination system has become backed up and/or dehydrated.
2. Do you take prescription, recreational or over the
counter drugs? (yes = 1/no = 0)
Drugs that are made in laboratories can and do contain toxic
ingredients that can build up in your system over time.
3. Chronic digestive troubles or gas/bloating? (yes = 1/no =
0)
Constant digestive upset, especially with gas and bloating
is a sign of harmful bacteria in the gut that release toxins your body has to
expel. This can be due to an acidic pH balance in the gut. Alkaline water has been
shown to raise pH levels in the gut. (Vorobjeva, N.V)
Fast or processed foods contain loads of artificial
ingredients that your body may not be able to eliminate on it’s own.
5. Have you ever smoked or been exposed to excess second
hand smoke? (yes = 1/no = 0)
Cigarette smoke contains hundreds of harmful toxins such as
formaldehyde. Toxins from cigarette smoke can and do accumulate in the lungs.
6. Do you have any skin problems? (yes = 1/no = 0)
Your skin (via sweating) is your largest organ of
detoxification. Persistent skin problems that defy medical treatment may be a
sign that your skin is overwhelmed by toxins.
7. Do you drink alcohol? (yes = 1/no = 0)
Alcohol in moderation is ok, and may even be beneficial. But
it still adds to the toxic load your body must expel to maintain it’s health
8. Do you live in a major city or close to a hydraulic
fracking (Hydrofracking) operation? (yes = 1/no = 0)
Major cities are significant sources of pollution, both in
the environment and in your body. Hydro Fracking (fracking for short) poisons
the air and water for at least a kilometer around the fracking operation.
9. Do you drink tap water or soda? (yes = 1/no = 0)
Unfiltered tap water contains toxins like chlorine, and may
contain other harmful toxins as well. Soda is highly acidic and can bomb your
body’s systems with massive amounts of sugar.
10. Do you feel fatigued, have low energy or poor sleeping
habits? (yes = 1/no = 0)
Low energy is a sign of a slow metabolism. A slower
metabolism means that it takes the body longer to complete vital processes like
water elimination. The body releases a great deal of toxins from the cells
during sleep. If you’re not getting enough sleep, your body may not have a
chance to expel enough toxins from your cells.
Detoxification is a gentle, long term process that relies on
your body’s own waste elimination systems to expel toxins. In fact, you need do
little more than just eat right, exercise, and drink healthy water.
Alkaline water has shown a lot of promise for
detoxification. Research done in Sweden revealed that women who drank alkaline
water had significantly lower levels of mercury in their hair, compared to
women who drank acidic water. A more recent study that examined 4 middle aged
subjects who drank alkaline water for 2 months. It showed that the test
subjects excreted 10 different heavy metals in their urine.
Did you score 4 or
higher? Then read on for helpful hints on how to get your detox started!
If you are ready to detoxify, here are 10 tips to get you
started:
Make sure to soak your fruit and vegetables in alkaline
water because it neutralizes harmful pesticide/herbicide and insecticide
residues. Ordinary water doesn’t neutralize acidic toxins the way alkaline
water does.
Nuts seeds and legumes are a healthy source of dietary
protein – without the acidity of meat. Whole grains supply roughage that helps
you eliminate solid wastes.
3. Adopt a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise. Use
a sauna to sweat the toxins out.
Did you know? You can get benefits from exercising in as
little as 10 minutes at a time. If you do 3 10 minute exercise sessions during
the day, you get the benefit of a 30 minute workout. A sauna helps you sweat
out those toxins after your workout.
4. Avoid chemical drugs and excessive alcohol.
You may have to take some prescription drugs, but the less
you have to take, the better. Enjoy alcohol in moderation to avoid overloading
your liver with toxins. Drink alcohol along with alkaline water, because
alkaline water has been shown to have a protective effect on the liver.
Give your body the nutrition it needs to work it’s best.
Make sure the ingredients used in your supplements come from natural sources.
6. Take nutritional/herbal supplements to protect and
enhance organ functions.
Your best bet is to talk to a nutritionist to find the
herbal supplements that are right for you.
7. Drink a glass of water and lemon juice every morning.
Lemon juice and water in the morning stimulates peristalsis
movement of food and wastes through the digestive tract.
8. Go on a three day fast, four times per year (fasting at
the change of the seasons is a good rule to remember).
Fasting allows your digestive tract to purge waste, rest,
and repair itself.
9. Drink alkaline water from Good Life Water System.
Alkaline water from Good Life Water System has been shown to
increase excretion of 10 harmful heavy metals. Remember that is also
neutralizes pesticide, herbicide and
insecticide residues on your fruits and vegetables. You can detoxify far more
effectively if you avoid putting toxic residues in your body!. (Abraham, Guy,
and Jorge Flebas) (Rosborg, I, B Nihlgard)
10. Meditate on self empowering affirmations to clear your
mind.
The power of positive thought will help you stick to your
detoxification goals. When your mind is clear, its much easier for you to focus
on your goals. Another benefit is that meditation reduces stress, which can
also contribute to poor health.
Detoxify every day for better health
When you consider the daily assault of toxins such as air
pollution and toxic residues on foods, it just makes sense to make
detoxification a part of your daily routine. It’s actually easy to do:
Use alkaline water to drink, rinse your produce, and cook
with.
Avoid fast and processed foods
Enjoy alcohol in moderation, and with a glass of alkaline
water
Exercise regularly, and sweat those toxins out
Meditate regularly to detoxify your mind
