The Importance of Cleansing and Detoxification
What is detoxification and cleansing?
Detoxification is the body’s natural process of elimination or neutralization of toxic materials from cells, organs and the bloodstream. The body processes these toxins through the liver, kidneys, urine, feces, exhalation and perspiration. Cleansing is the action of helping your body to perform detoxification more thoroughly.
Everyone has their own level of tolerance when it comes to toxins. However once you reach that tolerance, a number of different symptoms can begin to appear. Think of your body as a glass of water. Once a glass is full, if you continue to add more water, it will spill over. If toxins continue to be added into our system when there is ‘no more room’ to eliminate them, the body becomes overwhelmed and negative symptoms can occur. This can eventually lead to degenerative diseases.
Indications that the body may need detoxification are headaches, joint pain, recurrent respiratory problems, back pain, allergy symptoms, insomnia, mood changes, constipation, hemorrhoids, sinus congestion, acne and food allergies. If you ignore these early warning signs, conditions such as arthritis, ulcers, and psoriasis can occur and eventually even lead to life threatening diseases.
If you have any of these symptoms or are just concerned about the toxins you may have been exposed to over the years, it’s time to start cleansing. A good cleansing program uses a combination of herbs and nutrients that support all of the body’s 7 channels of elimination (liver, lungs, colon, kidneys, blood, skin, and lymphatic system).
Regardless of your current state of health, whether you have cleansed in the past, or if you are a sensitive cleanser, you can choose a cleanse that is right for you.
First Cleanse is a unique, 15 day all natural herbal cleanse, formulated specifically for the ‘first time’ or ‘sensitive’ cleanser.
The Advanced Cleanse System
Cleanse SMART ™ is an advanced cleansing and detoxification program. This two-part cleanse is designed to stimulate the body’s seven channels of elimination (lungs, liver, lymphatic system, blood, colon, skin and kidney).
Fibre SMART ™ is a flax based fibre formula. It contains flax seed fibre which provides the recommended ratio of 50% soluble fibre and 50% insoluble fibre.
Oil SMART ™ helps lubricate the colon, allowing for easier passage of toxin materials through the colon. OilSMART is a patented essential fatty acid formulation which contains flax seed oil, borage seed oil and coldwater fish oils. It is unique in that it also contains the digestive enzyme lipase. Lipase is used by the body to help breakdown and utilize the essential fatty acids contained within the oils. These fatty acids are essential as they play key roles in all of the body’s major functions, including cleansing and detoxification.
The advanced 30 day cleansing system of CleanseSMART ∙ FibreSMART ∙ OilSMART is an important step to regaining and maintaining your health. This program lasts for 30 days and should be completed 2 to 3 times per year. FibreSMART and OilSMART can be taken ongoing throughout the year as maintenance as the body requires them daily. Consult a registered nutritionist for information on any cleansing program, especially if you are on any medication.
