Why detoxification is important and why now is the time!

May 7, 2015 by Kelly Bennet

Why detoxification is important, and should be done in the Spring? Spring is the best time because, after the long cold winter, spring is the time when everything is awakening, growing and regenerating, the human organism is not excluded from this process. It is know that the philosopher Plato was demanding from his students to purify (detox) their bodies for one month so their body and their spirit is prepared for his teachings.

In this time, detoxification is important so we can improve our health, and we can regain our energy when we feel exhausted on both physical and psychological level. Our body, in normal conditions is programmed to cleanse from all toxins automatically, but the time we live in, with everyday stresses, eating unhealthy and fast food, dehydration and less and less physical work, our body wastes to much energy during these processes and there is no energy for the automatic processes of cleansing and detoxing.

Some of the symptoms that are alerting us that is time to dedicate time in renewing and detoxing our organism are: bad breath and body odor, abnormal body weight, often headaches, chronic sinusitis, bronchitis and asthma, allergies, candida, chronic fatigue, depression, skin problems, poor memory, stomach bloating and gasses and premature aging. Detox or cleansing our body helps us restore the natural balance and heal faster. Many people that I know have very nice experience with detox diets, and almost all of them are sharing the same results, better health, lesser need for sleep and felt more energy, felt less nervous and depressed, relieved chronic diseases and clearer thoughts!

If you feel some of the above symptoms I suggest dedicating some time for cleansing and regaining the balance of your organism!

Contrast showers against cellulite

May 6, 2015 by Sheila Smith

It is true this treatment is a little unpleasant, but it is very effective, and we have to work hard for beauty.

The weather gets better and better, not to mention that summer is coming so we need to get ready for swimwear. Everybody wants to look good and eliminate the excessive weight and cellulite that accumulated due to unhealthy diet.
The treatment is called contrast shower.
Check out how the treatment affects the reduction of cellulite and why it is so effective.

Contrast shower is the process of switching/changing the temperature from hot to cold water and back again.

The hot water on your body affects the expansion of blood vessels and lymph, while cold water narrows them. They both have positive effects on our health, which is why the combination of hot and cold water in the shower is an excellent treatment against cellulite, because it improves circulation and it is an efficient detoxification treatment.
How does contrast showers work?

Contrast showers boosts lymph drainage and restore blood to the heart. This affects the efficient elimination of toxins and harmful substances from the cells that are routed through the bloodstream to the liver and kidneys.
Cellulite is the result of six factors – weakened circulation and lymphatic drainage, chronic inflammation, accumulation of toxins in our body, relaxation of the skin, accumulation of fat and weak tissue regeneration. Contrast showering directly influences the first three factors – improves circulation, the tissues receive more oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously releasing the toxins and waste. Thus, it relieves chronic inflammation, so this treatment works on the other three factors. 

The cold water on your body stimulates the release of noradrenaline and norepinephrine – hormones that are crucial in the regulation of adipose tissue. However, showering with cold water only will not have the desired effect. You will develop tolerance to the cold water and the effect will not be as effective as the contrast showers.
The hot water expands the arteries and veins, which increases the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the cells. On the other hand, showering with only hot water can cause side effects such as water retention in the body and chronic inflammation.

So, the best solution is to combine hot and cold water in the shower. You don’t have to make any sudden changes in the temperature. Let’s say – start showering with warm hot, then gradually reduce to cold. Then gradually return to hot water and repeat this process until the end of the shower. It is recommended that you finish showering with cold water in order to make the effects last longer.
