Give your body a good spring clean. A dream that we all
cherish without knowing how to do it.
Your body makes a wry face? You feel tired, you run out
of enthusiasm, you sometimes have trouble sleeping? Do you have pimples,
bags under the eyes or cellulite? Many signals that show that your body is
overwhelmed. This is hardly surprising, stretched as we are between a diet
high a sedentary lifestyle and a steady increase in air pollution.
As Tessa Thomas points out in "Natural
Facelift" (Flammarion, 2001), "are as sophisticated as the liver
and lymphatic system, they are faced today with an overabundance of toxins to
which they are often unable to cope."The solution? Enjoying the
spring to follow a "detoxification treatment". Specifically, it
is clear the blood and lymph of all toxic sediments accumulated. Sharon Bell of GDetox.com is an expert in the field of detoxification.
You can choose between consolidate care that followed ten
days to cure an express or spread gently over a month. The express
treatment is recommended if you have already practiced a cure detox last year
(one-year program is more than enough) or if you have a great lifestyle
everyday.
Anyway, remember that the first day will not necessarily be a
cakewalk, and do not worry, fatigue, mood swings, headaches and minor skin
problems are sometimes appointment you. They are a sign that toxins are
being eliminated. Beware, however, this type of program is for people in
good general health. Do not hesitate to consult your doctor if you are in
any doubt about your ability to undertake it.
Lemon to stimulate the liver
The liver is a primary organ in the detoxification
process. Because if its many functions, it is mainly tasked with
eliminating waste and neutralize toxins circulating in the body. To
stimulate, Jane Scrivner, author of "Detox, how to" (Marabout, 2001),
recommends starting her day by drinking fresh lemon juice mixed with warm
water . If stimulating and antiseptic lemon is known, it is less
known is remarkably effective to boost congested livers.
Dandelion to relieve the kidneys
The kidneys filter the blood at a rate of seven liters per
hour, eliminating through urine, useless or harmful substances. Dandelion,
nicknamed the "big cleaning" function facilitates their
removal. You can, of course, used in salads. Maurice Messegué,
herbalist, advises to prepare tea, combined with the fumeterre, rosemary and
nettle (four pinches of each in half a liter of water) to drink during the
day. Dandelion is also available in capsules of powder "freeze-ground"
(in pharmacies).
Treat yourself to a real detox health
Tonus: Liver, kidneys, skin ... It is they who, day after
day, cleanse our body. Congested, tired, they hardly work. A few
simple principles help to relieve and revive their business.
Normally we do not need to make any special treatment
because we are equipped with organs can detoxify our body in as: liver cleanses
the blood, the kidneys remove toxins, protects the skin bacteria. But that
is not always enough.Stress, poor diet, medications disrupt our self-cleaning
mechanisms. Gradually, the body is overwhelmed, it gets dirty and
exhausted.Relieving our natural filters, we can ease the burden of this
unexplained fatigue.
Warning Signs
You make bile? The term is not meaningless. In Chinese medicine, it
is at the meridian of the gallbladder, liver-related, which is to relieve
anxiety. "Key to Body digestion, the liver makes bile, necessary to
digest fats, helps break down various substances and filters toxins from the
blood," says Arnaud Maloubier, nutritionist and diabetes specialist. The
liver is what a "silent" body called: most often, her troubles do not
give rise to any symptoms. When stretched, it does not suffer directly,
but it increases the stomach upsets breath and transit. To treat it
delicately, Arnaud Maloubier recommends some rules of "hepatic
coaching."
Good habits
Avoid excess white sugar and processed products (quiches, pizzas, shepherd's
pie, lasagna or pastries), too high in saturated fat and salt.
daily Eat vegetables (especially artichokes, cynarin containing a depurative
natural, and chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant substance) and especially fruits
(preferably organic). The lemon detox fruit remains the quintessential
"Very rich in fructose (fruit sugar good), half a lemon juice daily
reduces congestion in the liver and facilitates the work of elimination of
bile," says Arnaud Maloubier.
Treat yourself each month, one to two vegetarian days to
ease digestion. Finally, herbal medicine is very useful in liver
heaviness. Fennel, sage and rosemary facilitate the production and
discharge of bile; the fumeterre, burdock and dandelion support a tired
liver; Boldo relaxes this area. Do not exceed two courses of three
weeks per year.
Warning signs
Genuine purification plant of our body, the kidneys filter blood, retain and
eliminate waste. The challenge is to take care of a painless body: when
one complains of backache, it is actually a muscular pain in the lower back. Result,
kidney failure is often detected too late. Fatigue, hypertension, leg
swelling, blood in the urine are not specific symptoms with renal dysfunction,
but must bring to view.
Good habits
Do not drink too much! This is what we tend to do, with the idea that it
facilitates the work of the kidneys. Or, said Professor Gilbert Deray,
nephrologist, "drink does not eliminate," contrary to a well-known
advertising pounds. "One and a half liters a day is a recommended
amount in case of cystitis or kidney stones. Apart from these two
situations, it makes no sense, "says nephrologist. A glass of water
every two hours is actually more than enough.
Limit your intake of salt, which promotes the development of
kidney stones, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs - aspirin, ibuprofen ...
Overuse of this drug class, in addition to hurt the stomach, has deleterious
effects on the kidneys. Eat less protein (meat, eggs, fish, dairy products
...).
According to Philippe Chauveau, nephrologist, assimilation requires
more work for the kidneys, which need to remove urea, a waste from processing. Be
careful with protein diets. The recommendation of the National Health and
Nutrition Programme (NFHP) is simple: consume protein once or twice a day,
focusing on lean meats and fish, and vegetable proteins such as soy, grains and
legumes.
