Detox- "De-junking"

How to lost weight??

Healthy diet? Exercise? 

I think you miss out something very important- DETOXIFICATION!!!

Detoxification: the process of removing toxic substances/ transforming them into something harmless.

Where do we get all this toxic?? 
- Is from all the junk our body picks up from convenience foods, the pollution that pours into our water, air,and soil, exposure to heavy metals, electromagnetic pollution as well as synthetic fibers and materials. 
- Once the detoxification system becomes overloaded, toxic metabolites (product of metabolism) accumulate. The accumulation of toxins will cause destruction on our normal metabolic processes. Once our metabolic processes got affected, it is hard for us to slim down!!!

Let's do a small test here. Let's see how much toxin it is in your body=)

1. Rough/dry skin, always facing skin problems
2. Look pale every time
3. Look older than you are
4. Having constipation problem
5. Shoulder pain, period pain and waist pain
6. Feel tired after walking up 5 flights of stairs
7. Love cold drinks
8. Love sweets 
9. Susceptible to cold
10.Dislike vegetables and fruits
11. Meat lover
12. High consumption of alcoholic beverages
13. Always buy fast food/ convenience foods
14. Stay up late most of the time
15. Having less than 6 hours sleep per day
16. Stressful lifestyle
17. Smoking
18. Water consumption is low

If you say "yes" (10 or above) to the above statement, you are having an extremely bad body condition.Your toxin level is high and you have to adjust your lifestyle immediately. 

If you say " yes" (5to 9) to the above statement, you have to start taking care of your health before everything turns worst.

If you say "yes" (less than 4) to the above statement, the toxin level in your body is lower compare to others. However, try to improve those statement you say "yes" to. 


How to remove the toxin inside our body?? There are many ways we can do to lower the toxin level in our body but there are three most important things we need to do daily to prevent our detoxification system from overloading.

a) Drink plenty of water (2L/day)- Drink a cup of warm water every morning with your empty stomach.

b) Increase fruit and vegetables intake: Cucumber, cherry, bitter squash and black fungus play an important in helping our kidney, liver and  large intestine to do the detoxification. Consume fresh fruit and vegetables (high in fiber) will aid in constipation problem.

c) Exercise: Yoga (or other aerobic exercises) is the best exercise for detoxification and improving our metabolism. Allow our body to sweat at least once a week in order to remove toxin from our body.
