Detox and Food Sensitivity Testing in Helensvale
Since we’re bombarded daily by various toxins, whether in our food, water or air, following a detox program occasionally can be beneficial. Removing toxins from the body can result in endless health benefits from improved digestion and energy levels to purifying and clearing the skin. When you eliminate toxins the body’s systems can function more efficiently, potentially leading to improved immune function and increased vitality.
A cleanse can serve as a valuable reset for your daily health habits encouraging a shift towards healthier food choices and lifestyle practices.
“What we’re trying to do with a detox is reset the system so it works properly,” said Dr Luke Hennessy (Chiropractor).
He offers some recommendations for those who are interested in safely detoxifying:
Hydration Is Key
Stay hydrated! Keeping your body flushed is beneficial when detoxing. This doesn’t mean sipping water all day but instead drinking at least eight full glasses throughout the day – literally drinking each glass in full in one long gulp. Dr Hennessy highly recommends starting your day with 1 -2 glass of water before breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Ideally, pH-neutral, purified water is the best choice. For those who invest in a Zazen water purifier with us we can provide guidance on how to set this up to deliver pH-neutral purified water. Alternatively, you’re welcome to ask for advice on how to go about this at home with your own purifier.
Understanding Your Body
When it comes to doing a cleanse, it’s not just about eliminating waste. It’s about improving the function of three key systems in your body: the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system. This well-rounded detox approach is far more likely to give the best results.
Food Sensitivity Testing
A cleanse isn’t all about what you are eliminating but rather what you are putting into your body. A food sensitivity test can be a game-changer. By identifying foods that trigger inflammatory reactions you can optimise your body’s detox process.
When eliminating the inflammation causing foods you continue to eat a healthy nutritious diet whilst giving your body the vehicle to remove toxins efficiently. By following some professionally guided cleansing protocols, increasing water intake and adjusting your diet you can safely detoxify your body.
How Often Should I Detox?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how often you should do a cleanse. It’s more about finding what works for you. It is common to detox after a festivity such as a birthday or family event however, if you are 80-90% consistent with your healthy diet, cleanse and lifestyle habits, your body can naturally detox efficiently.
A Complement to Chiropractic Care
There are three key areas that impact our health: physical, emotional and chemical. While Chiropractic care addresses physical and neurological systems, your body’s chemical balance is vital too, which is where a detox plan comes in.
