Summer is here and there is no better time to detox. With all the available fruits and vegetables at the local farmers market, nature is begging you to reap the rewards of her light fare. By simply cutting out the junk like alcohol, sugar, and caffeine and eating more produce, we tip the scales in the direction of health.
To boost detoxification more avoid the common food allergens like wheat, dairy, eggs and soy for a couple of weeks. Most people feel great when they make this adjustment to their diet. When you reintroduce these foods into your diet you should be able to tell within 24 hours if some old symptoms flare up.
For a better detox effect, replace animal protein with a detox protein powder like UltraClear Plus pH. Your body needs amino acids to detox, but animal protein creates a lot of acid waste products that put a strain on the detoxification organs. UltraClear Plus pH is a protein powder that is formulated specifically to benefit detoxification and alkalize the body. If you are considering a juice fast or the Master Cleanser, it is important to know that after two or three days you will exhaust your amino acid reserves and can begin doing more harm than good. UltraClear Plus pH, in conjunction with a liquid diet, will ensure that you get the most out of your efforts.
To bring your detox to the highest level consider Far-Infrared Sauna and Colon Hydrotherapy sessions. Far-Infrared Sauna is far superior to a normal sauna or steam room. Far-Infrared Sauna penetrates beyond the skin to the organ and tissue levels and promotes powerful detoxification. Far-Infrared Sauna also relieves pain, benefits the cardiovascular system and burns up to 600 calories per session.
Colon Hydrotherapy is the most efficient way to remove toxic material from the body. Elysia, our hydrotherapist, is exceptional and clients are constantly amazed with how comfortable and effective their sessions are. The key to a comfortable, effective detox is a colon that keeps moving. As long as you do not get constipated, cleansing programs are very comfortable. Colon Hydrotherapy is the most effective tool for ensuring an effective and pleasant detox.
If you are not ready to do it on your own, or if you want to get the most out of a detox program, call one of our patient coordinators and sign up for our Comprehensive Detox Program, Pure Within. Detox programs at The Hall Center are always tailored to your individual needs.
