The Health Advantages of Resetting your Body with a Detox

Your guts system--made up of your small and large intestines--is one of your bodies most important systems.

In fact, your gut not only aids in digestion but also controls…

• Hormone production.
• Mood regulation (anxiety/depression).
• Immune system health.

For these reasons, it’s vital that you take good care of your gut system to keep it in good shape.

In order to achieve better full-body health, many people will “reset” their body using a detox plan.

What are the advantages and should you give it a try? Take a look and see...

Detoxing Advantage #1 - Weight Management

If you’re looking to lose a few pounds, taking part in a detox is a great way to jumpstart the process and get your body ready for weight loss.

Why is it important? Because a detox helps clear out all the bad stuff in your digestive tract and helps you rebalance the gut bacteria that is essential for healthy digestion.

When your gut is healthy, you process food and nutrients more effectively.

Of course, a detox isn’t a magical dieting solution. In order for it to be effective, you have to keep up with healthy eating routines and continue to cut out excess sugar and processed foods from your diet.

Detoxing Advantage #2 - Build a Stronger Immune System

Every day we ingest harmful toxins in the foods we eat.

These toxins weigh heavily on our intestines, impacting our bodies immune system, which makes it harder for us to process nutrients and fight off common illnesses.

When you detox, you make the conscious decision to only ingest healthy, nutrient-rich foods or beverages--eliminating many of the harmful ingredients you might consume otherwise.

Doing so helps build up your immune system, leaving you better protected against illness.

Detoxing Advantage #3 - Clearer Skin

If you struggle with acne, detoxing just might be the solution you’ve been looking for to help clear out your skin.

How could a detox possible help with this issue? Easy…

Acne is caused by an overproduction of oils in your skin. And, the production of oils is directly related to your bodies hormones.

If your gut isn’t healthy, your body could be overproducing hormones that are contributing to your acne.

However, once you restore your gut health via a detox, the overproduction of hormones--and ultimately the overproduction of oils in your skin--should start to slow down.

Everyone’s skin is different, and there are many things that affect your bodies hormone production levels. But, trying a detox is certainly a harmless way to help take better care of your skin.

Detoxing for Overall Bodily Health

Food is the foundation of health.

For this reason, we could go on and on about the health benefits of using a detox to reset your gut system. But, the most important thing that we want you to know is that you are what you eat.

All in all, a detox is essential in helping you rebalance your gut so you can start with a solid foundation and continue to build a healthy body by making healthy food choices.

While we believe an occasional detox is great for your health, every person’s body is different. So, before you jump head first into a detox plan, it’s important you talk to your primary care provider or nutritionist.

He/she will be able to advise you on what type of detox is best for your body and your personal health goals.
