11 Ways a Detox will improve how you feel

As toxins are removed from the body, the benefits of the detoxification will begin to show, you will notice a change in the way you feel and function. We talk to the Longevity Wellness Team for what people can expect from a detox. 

Some reported benefits of detoxification are:

1. Feel rejuvenated
   Unwanted substances inside the body can make you feel slow and sluggish. A detox can bring an overall feeling of wellbeing: you feel recharged and revitalized.

2. Better health
   Removal of toxins means a reduced risk of chronic diseases and a general amelioration of health conditions and symptoms.

3. Boost energy
   A toxic buildup makes the body work harder and it slows down the functions of the organs, which causes fatigue. A detox results in a boost of energy and vitality, following any cleansing reactions.

4. Improved digestion
   Removal of toxins improves the digestive process, thereby addressing bloating, acidity, constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other symptoms. A clear colon means better absorption.

5. Better skin
   As an elimination organ, the skin will reflect the internal condition of the body. Detoxification clears skin conditions.

6. Lower stress
   High levels of stress increase cortisol, which reduces liver function. A detox diet that rebalance hormones and improves liver function, would also normalize chemical balance and generate less stress.

7. Improved sleep
   Removal of excess toxins in the body and brain induces a better sleep and rest.

8. Stronger immune system
   Once the body removes excess toxins, the immune system is better able to fight bacteria, viruses and parasites.

9. Clearer thinking and concentration
   Sugar, fat and toxins accumulation in the body lead to feelings of lethargy and fuzzy thinking. People report feeling an improvement in fogginess after a detox program, compared to before. Some also report enhanced perception.

10. Elimination of bad breath
    Bad breath and other body odours are a result of toxic accumulation in the digestive tract.

11. Better mood
    Toxins impact both the performance of physical organs, as well as cognitive function and mental wellness. Elimination of these substances lead to overall better mood and wellbeing.

It is normal to feel worse during the purge and purification process before experiencing the above changes. To sustain the benefits of detoxification, continue avoiding exposure and incorporating methods and foods that support the body’s natural detox process.
