Here Are 5 Reasons Why You Need to Detox
Check out our 14 day whole food cleanse under Programs
Here are 5 reasons why you need to detox, or at least why you should consider a detox:
DETOX BENEFITS #1: Our toxic burden is heavier than ever
The challenge we face today is the toxic burden is greater than ever. Our food is inundated with fertilizers, pesticides, hormones and more. We ingest more chemicals then ever before from the air we breathe to our water supplies. Our bodies are in over-drive to keep our systems clean and clear.
DETOX BENEFITS #2: It can set the stage for healthier habits
A worthwhile detox is one that involves whole foods, implementable habits and actionable tools that you can incorporate easily into your daily life.
DETOX BENEFITS #3: It can help you feel better
When our detox pathways are exposed to too many toxins, we can feel moody, sluggish, achy, fatigued, bloated and more. Many of us don’t connect what we eat to how we feel. Detoxing can make a world of a difference when it comes to healing our symptoms and feeling better.
DETOX BENEFITS #4: It can curb cravings
Sugar is addictive. Period. In fact, studies suggest that sugar is even more addictive than cocaine! Although there’s usually a period where you might experience some withdrawal symptoms, a detox can help you unhook yourself from sugar cravings and other hyper-palatable foods. You’ll start to realize just how GOOD you feel replacing inflammatory foods with nutrient-dense options. A GREAT detox will TEACH you important things like what’s contributing to your food cravings and how to recognize true hunger from emotional hunger so you’re better equipped the next time that craving strikes!
DETOX BENEFITS #5: It can help balance your hormones
Our liver helps break down and remove excess hormones, which helps to keep our hormones balanced naturally. If you’ve ever heard the term “estrogen dominance” you know what we’re talking about. When our liver is overburdened, it can contribute to the re-circulating of hormones (that should have left the body) creating imbalances that cause a wide range of symptoms. These symptoms can include hair loss, mood swings and painful periods and weight gain.
