Cleanse For Less Toxic Body

Extracted from “The Star – 11 June 2013”

Indigestion, a bloated feeling, constipation, aches and pain and even unresolved skin problems are common health complaints for many working adults. While these are seen as minor by many and can be resolved temporarily with over-the-counter medicine, a visit to the spa or skin specialist, these are actually symptoms of a weakening digestive and elimination system and a toxic body.

   These health problems are not easily alleviated  as the root cause lies in our years of daily eating habits. Factors like selection of food, how the food is prepared and the time it is normally consumed play a part.

   Over 80% of Malaysians are “planting diseases” because they habitually consume food high in carbohydrate, meat and saturated oil but low in fibre like fruits and vegetables and water thus creating a natural path towards indigestion and constipation.

   Indigestion is the first problem that arises when food is not chewed adequately or consumed when the digestion system is weak, especially after 8pm.

   Such undigested food acted on by bacteria will putrefy and produce toxins inside the body. The longer the undigested food remains inside and is not eliminated via bowel movement on a daily basis, more toxins are created.

   However, proper or complete elimination has become a challenge to senior citizens as well as working adults due to the lack of fibre or water intake, lack of exercise and a stressful life.

   Continuous years of indigestion or constipation will cause accumulation of toxins in the colon and this will overflow to other parts of the body, increasing overall body toxicity which is termed “Toxic Stress Cycle”.

   A toxic body is a weak body with poor immunity and therefore is a barrier to looking and feeling good.

   According to the late Dr Bernard Jensen, a pioneer in holistic and alternative health, a toxic colon is the root cause of diseases. A toxic body environment impairs our cell metabolism to repair and regenerate new cells, accelerates ageing and affects our immune system.

   That is why health problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high sugar (which can be easily detected from a simple blood test) are alarmingly high. But what about those diseases that cannot be detected by a normal blood test such as stomach or colon cancer and leukaemia?

   Detoxification which eliminates toxin built-up and enhances the body’s internal detoxification is an effective two-prong approach to address the toxicity accumulated in the body over the years as well as to rejuvenate the digestive and elimination system.

   Once toxicity in the colon is reduced and the impaired digestive and elimination system is improved, you will feel immediate relief.

   In today’s modern world of temptations and commitments, it is not easy to avoid external pollution from food and the environment but we can re-purify our inner body for it to work and heal better.
