When people hear the word ‘detox’ a wide range of ideas may come to mind. The first thing people often think about is weight loss or starving. Although detoxing is definitely a great route for weight loss, the health benefits extend much further than that. A properly curated detox program will enable you to restart, rebalance, and re-energize both your physical and mental well-being. In this blog, we will discuss why it’s time to detox your body!
What Is Detox and Why Should You Try It?
Detoxification or ‘detox’ is a plan/diet designed to aid the body in dispelling toxins from the body to help promote overall health and support the body through its regular functions. In essence, it’s creating the perfect conditions for your body to perform at full potential.
Our organs are constantly working to eliminate unwanted toxins from the various body systems. It’s inevitable for the body to get run down by unhealthy food choices, alcohol, caffeine, stress, and normal environmental toxins.
No matter how healthy of a lifestyle you live, external factors still make detoxing an essential component of experiencing long-lasting vitality. When the body’s vital organs are put under too much pressure without a cleanse, it can lead to illness or disease.
Taking the time to nurture your organ systems helps grant you greater energy, better digestion, and improved mental clarity.
Signs You Need a Detox
Although detox can be beneficial for anyone, here are a few signs that indicate you are overdue for a cleanse:
- You experience constant fatigue and a lack of energy
- You have frequent headaches and/or lack of mental clarity
- You often have skin breakouts or a tired, weakened complexion
- You seem to catch bugs, colds, or the flu more often than others
- You experience troublesome digestion or gut problems
- You slip into making poor diet choices such as refined sugar or saturated fats
- You frequently drink alcohol, caffeine, or smoke
A detox is a perfect opportunity to give your body a break and allow yourself to self-cleanse. At BioCure, we offer specific Organ Detox Programs with the help of medical professionals. Our team can help you start a path to a healthier, happier version of yourself.
Essential Habits to Pair With a Detox Program
Starting a detox program is an incredible jump start to your health journey. However, there is more you need to do to support your organs.
One of the most important things to stay mindful of is your eating habits. Aim to incorporate a large variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into your diet. Fresh squeezed juices and smoothies are a great, and delicious place to begin.
It’s also important to eat selenium-rich foods such as nuts, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, and fish. Selenium is shown to improve DNA production and protect the cells from long-term damage and infections.
In addition to eating foods that support your organs, BioCure offers NAD+ IV Therapy. NAD+ is a naturally occurring compound derived from vitamin B3. This therapy can help in boosting energy, improve cognitive function, and control weight management.
