With spring in full swing and summer hot on
its
tail, now is the perfect time to get rid of the
harmful
toxins that have built up in your body
over time, especially in the liver, kidney, lymphatic
system and
colon. The body does detoxify itself
naturally to a certain extent, but after times of excess
(thank you,
winter malaise), it needs extra help.
Here are four easy ways to clean up your act this spring.
EAT BETTER
Apart from making sure to have a healthy diet, you should eat lots of greens that are high in fiber, which help to clean out the digestive system. It is best to eat seasonal vegetables that are fresh and not frozen, and buy organic to avoid harmful pesticides that don’t wash off with water. Most importantly, stay away from all the harmful foods that we tend to seek comfort in during the winter, such as those that contain high levels of fat, sugar, alcohol and caffeine.
GET MOVING
Exercise is also extremely important to any detoxification regimen. Sweating rids the body of toxic molecules, so sign up for a gym membership—or do it the old-fashioned way by taking a jog in the sunshine. Yoga and massage are also important, as they relieve the body of stress, which creates harmful hormones such as cortisol, which can increase blood pressure and weaken the immune system.
GIVE YOUR LIVER SOME LOVE
It is also important to support liver function because this organ is frequently overtaxed during times of indulgence. The liver is the body’s major detoxification organ, so it is imperative to keep it functioning optimally. Indeed, poor liver function is associated with various ailments that are seemingly unrelated, such as migraine headaches or eczema. Taking a milk thistle supplement is a particularly good idea, as it is an effective liver protector and is showing good results in clinical trials.
CLEANSE YOUR COLON
You should take steps to cleanse your colon, where toxins can build up over time. The most thorough way to do this is to see a trained professional for colon hydrotherapy, which involves the use of low-pressure water to cleanse the lower intestinal tract—literally, spring cleaning. If you are too uncomfortable to undergo this procedure, you can administer an at-home enema or take natural supplements that help to rid the body of these toxins. Look for something that contains chlorella, an algae that aids in digestion and colon detoxification.
SCRAP THE METAL
While the above ways to detox are ideally done year-round, the post-winter period is a time to get serious about it. Natural chelation, which helps to remove heavy metal buildup that is linked to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s and even cancer, is an effective way to take detoxing to the next level. Chelation can be done intravenously or orally by taking supplements that will help eliminate heavy metals.
THE SCIENCE OF DETOXIFICATION
While starting a detoxification regimen after a period of excess provides immediate relief to your overburdened systems, there are other kinds of detoxification that are important to health on a deeper level. Nowadays, more and more information is coming out showing that environmental pollution affects us deep at the DNA level. While this is a commonly accepted notion today, this discovery was actually developed in the 1960s thanks to the work of scientists like Dr. Mirko Beljanski (1923–1998), who was able to offer a scientific explanation at the cellular level of how these environmental toxins affect our DNA at the core of our cells.
Mirko Beljanski, PhD, was a French molecular biologist who worked for more than 40 years studying DNA replication and transcription at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. During his career, Dr. Beljanski discovered that the normal structure of DNA is altered when exposed to pollutants in the environment. He showed that when the DNA of a cell becomes destabilized, it may lead to chronic disease and other major ailments, including cancer. DNA destabilization is a cumulative process that is influenced by the level and frequency of our contact with harmful molecules that damage DNA structure. Through this discovery, Dr. Beljanski offered the world an explanation at the cellular level for environmental medicine.
In the course of his experiments, Dr. Beljanski created a test to evaluate the potential of molecules for further destabilizing our DNA. Then Dr. Beljanski used this test to discover natural molecules that could help protect the DNA structure and support cellular heath.
These natural molecules include extracts of the South American plant Pao pereira, the African shrub Rauwolfia vomitoria and a unique extract of golden leaf Ginkgo biloba (which has completely different properties from common standard green leaf extracts). Dr. Beljanski’s work has been validated through clinical trials at institutions such as Columbia University and Cancer Treatment Centers of America.
By combining short-term detoxification solutions with a more long-term detoxification regimen, you can not only quickly cleanse your body, but also protect it from the toxins that constantly bombard it from all sides. With proper diet, exercise and supplementation, you are giving yourself the best chance at staying healthy in an increasingly polluted world.
