Detox After Quitting Smoking
Why You Need It
First off, congratulations on quitting smoking – undoubtedly one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. Next on the To-Do list: detox your body.
Smoking causes build up of harmful toxins in the lungs and rest of the body. Even if you weren’t a heavy smoker, there are still harmful toxins that have set up camp in your body and need to be removed. Using an herbal detox is perhaps the best method of removing these harmful chemicals and cleansing your body.
Chemicals Found in Cigarettes and What They Do To Your Body
There are thousands of toxins inhaled into the body every time you have a cigarette. More specifically: 4000 chemical agents and 60 carcinogens that are inhaled into your lungs and then distributed through the rest of your body in your blood. Nicotine is probably the most common of these toxins and is also the leading culprit in the development of lung cancer. Other diseases you are at risk of developing from these cigarette toxins in your body include: heart disease, stroke, respiratory illnesses, bladder cancer, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease and kidney, cervical, stomach, pancreatic cancers, and so many more.
How to Detox
Do not let those built up toxins fester in your body and put you at risk of disease. Now that you have quit smoking, all it takes is implementing an herbal detox regime that will clean out all your major organs and won’t even disrupt your life. Herbal detoxes are found in natural health stores and are simply herbal pills that are taken in the morning and at night to help flush out toxins. Toxins will be released through your skin, urine, and bowel movements. If you would like to enhance your detox, consider modifying your diet to cut out fried or fatty foods and include fresh fruits, vegetables and water that help to replenish lost nutrients and cleanse the body.

Parasite Detox
Stomach problems can come from many things. People who suffer from access gas, diarrhea, bloating stomach or abdominal pain will usually blame their bowel dysfunction on a number of stomach and intestinal health issues; when in fact many of these issues and even seemingly obvious cases of IBS or Colitis are actually just symptoms of the larger problem of parasites in the stomach or intestines. While parasites used to be classified as a third world problem or one associated with risky travel to underdeveloped countries, many people right here in North America have parasites living inside them and don’t even know it. Parasites enter the body from a variety of different sources. Common causes include consumption of uncooked or unwashed produce or meats, sushi, or contaminated water. Individuals consume these products that contain microscopic parasitic spores and these spores later hatch in the colon. The resulting tiny organisms, otherwise known as parasites, ....
Food Combining for Better Health
Many people suffer from indigestion. They have tried a variety of different diets and food detoxes to get themselves feeling better and nothing seems to work. These individuals might consider not what they are eating that is wreaking havoc on their gut, but in fact how they are eating it. Food combining or food un-combining as it is better described, is the idea that different foods have different digestion times. So for example when a protein is paired with a starch, this can cause complete chaos in your bowels, thus they should be eaten at separate times to encourage better digestion. What does this mean? Well, for you die hard hamburger lovers; it means that you may need to find a new vice. In fact, if you take a second to examine North American food habits, you will find that they are in exact opposition to the body’s digestive method. The ....
Avoid Pesticides in Your Produce
Top 10 Foods to Eat Organic Much of the food that we consume on a daily basis contains pesticide residues. While the FDA has regulations over the safe amount of pesticide content in any food, the levels are particularly worrisome in certain produce. While the consumption of these foods has been shown to have no adverse affects in the short term, it has been shown that high levels of these toxins found in the body over time can cause all sorts of illness and disease. While striving to eat organic is always something important, it is often difficult, inconvenient; and can become quite costly. Because not everyone can afford to go the 100% organic route every time they shop, there are certain foods that experts say are more important to eat organic than others. This is because they have high levels of pesticide residues even after being washed and readied for consumption. ....
