Stress and Your Whole Body Detox

One of the biggest enemies to any body detox program is not the

air that you breathe or the toxins you ingest. What is it, you

ask? Stress. That's right. Stress is Natural Body Detox Enemy

#1.

Why? Your body is in such an agitated state that your immune

system has to work harder to fight off infection. It gets tired

of being overworked and underpaid, and weakens. That's why so

many healthy people get sick when they get stressed. Workaholics

know what I'm talking about. Being in a constant state of

stress also puts them in a constant state of sickness.

Your whole body detox doesn't need the added stress, pardon my

pun. The higher adrenaline levels produced from being stressed

also affects your digestive system. It simply tires it out.

This is why when you feel stress hunger is usually not part of

that. This can have long-term negative effects which hinder any

natural body detox. Over time, your digestive system is going to

produce less of its enzymes, which in turn lower your body's

ability to get rid of and process all those nasty little toxins

you ingest.

These high levels of hormones and chemicals your body pumps out

in response to stress contain free radicals, which, as many of us

know, make you more susceptible to cancer and are the nemesis to

any whole body detox. So when you are on a body detox program, be

sure to take stress seriously and find ways to alleviate it so

you're not sabotaging all the good work you're doing.

What should you do to alleviate stress during a natural body

detox?

1. Take a bath. Baths are a wonderful way to release stress and

purify yourself at the same time. Try doing a bentonite clay

bath, adding epsom salt, or a vinegar bath to double duty bath

time and make it a detoxifying as well as a relaxing experience.

2. Breathe deep. When we are stressed, we usually begin to rush.

Our heart rate goes up and we begin talking a mile a minute.

Sit quietly for a couple of minutes and breathe deeply, focusing

on the rising and falling of your stomach with each inhalation

and exhalation. Which leads us to the next tip...

3. Meditate. In addition to deep breathing, meditation forces us

to slow down. You may want to try using a guided meditation CD

if you have trouble focusing. It all starts with paying

attention to your breath.

4. Exercise. A moderate amount of daily exercise helps keep you

balanced. Stress will be easier to handle when you are

healthier. Try taking a walk after dinner or first thing in the

morning.

5. Get adequate rest. Like exercise, getting enough sleep at

night is key to how you handle your day. Allow yourself at least

eight hours to sleep each night. If you don't have enough time

for that, it's time to change your priorities.

Following the above tips will not only help during a natural body

detox but help keep you healthier and happier the rest of the

time, too.
