Body Cleansing. Natural Detox Methods
‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.’ Hippocrates
Hippocrates used to say that ‘if you do not cleanse your body as long as you give him food you give him poison’.
How often are you thinking about detoxifying your body? How often you did that and were the results those you’ve expected? It’s really hard to leave some unhealthy habits or vices and start a new life but your body will tell you if you need a cleansing, just learn to read the signs it gives you. It could be an unexpected tiredness or excessive aggression, unhealthy skin and other conditions.
Our body needs a cleansing and a special treat at least several times a year and it’s not a new trend to have your body detoxed, it’s a necessity recognized by scientists.
If you decided to have a new life from Monday there’s a high risk that your plan will fail without even starting. Changing your lifestyle should begin today. It’s hard to believe but it’s possible. You probably thought about ‘the last cigarette, the last pint of beer’ but nobody says you should suddenly give up all your vices or bad habits. Sometimes it’s even worse for the body because it creates an unnecessary stress. If you feel you can give up smoking or drinking in one day you should do that but if you can’t, don’t feel guilty about that. Nothing comes easy but it’s always possible to change things in your life.
First of all find out what a healthy lifestyle means then go for it.
