Why Detox?
So why bother detox you ask - why put yourself through the discomfort?
As Norman Walker says in his book Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices- what’s missing in your body? “Supreme cleanliness is the first step towards a healthy body - the natural eliminative channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys and the bowels”.
So when we perspire what are we doing? Well this is our sweat glands throwing off toxins from our body. Our kidneys get rid of the end products of food and body waste from the liver, which is why so many people focus on liver cleanses. And our bowels - well we know what they do, but did you know that part of the waste matter is used-up cells and tissues which are a result of our physical and mental activity?
Without removing this waste we can end up with toxaemia or acidosis.
So we want to detox - make sure the liver and kidneys are working optimally.
If you are dealing with a specific health condition, Walker’s book is a great resource, it lists ailments and their “formulas” presented as a guide for health professionals. Worth a look.
Until next time - Kate
