Detoxification of the body involves flushing out toxins and
useless minerals, which might be blocking up our arteries and giving way to a
healthier lifestyle. The process mostly involves taking out the toxins from the
body, mainly by restricting ourselves to a diet of raw vegetables and liquids;
such as fruit juices and water. Detoxification has helped many people steer
themselves from addictions, such as drugs and alcohol, and has helped them stay on
the right and healthy path.
It has also gained a lot of popularity as an anti-aging diet. It
cannot reverse the aging process but with the healthy process of flushing out
bad toxins from the body, and consuming healthy food, detoxing is now being
referred to as a longevity diet. Anti-aging research based on the effects of
detoxification on the aging process have concluded that by the process of
eliminating bad minerals from the body, one can gain control over the body’s biological
processes. (P, 2008)
Detoxification is thus, beign declared as the best way for you to
control the body’s natural aging process by consuming anti aging foods, within a
detox and low calorie diet, along with proper amounts of sleep.
Calorie control
By proper calorie restriction, you can affect how their body will
react to certain situations. According to a study, proper control over a
person’s calorie intake can help them, not only reduce their weight, but also manage
their skin condition, mental health and age. (Kim HJ,
2002)
However, calorie restriction does not mean that you should pull yourselves
away from all the foods you love to eat. Detoxification is done with the help
of raw foods; such as vegetables, and although some vegetables might have
starch, they are not taken in a processed state, which lessens their harmful
properties.
Required Amount of Sleep
When a person uses detoxification to clean their body from
the inside, it gives them the opportunity to become more relaxed in other parts
of their lives. Our diet affects everything that we do and according to a study,
a good diet and regular exercise can affect a person mentally as well as
physically.
Thus, when the body is being filtered with good food, proper
liquids and a healthy exercise regime, it sends a signal to the brain that it
is in a good condition. However, along with all this, sleeping properly is a
prerequisite. The ideal sleeping time for an adult is 7-8 hours daily and if
their body is not functioning properly due to lack of sleep, it can affect them
enough to make them mentally disturbed during the day.
Diet Regime
Having a proper diet regime is the key to leading a healthy
life. Along with detoxification, a proper diet recommended to you by a
nutritionist, is the one to follow. By having the right list of foods to eat,
and not consuming foods with empty calories; you can detox your body of all its
stress and aging factors. As discussed before, the method of having a proper
diet with exercise is important, and by doing so, you can help modify brain
function and carve a path towards a better and healthier self. (F, 2008)
