Time for a cleansing cuppa
WHAT happens after Chinese New Year? Well, normally, extra weight and a guilty conscience.
It’s hard to say no to food during the festivities. With the endless visiting and entertaining, food is readily available.
Family dinners are long events that come in several courses, leading to overeating.
Overindulging over the festive season will cause an overwhelming burden to the digestive system as well as intestinal tract. Besides that, drinking too much carbonated and alcoholic drinks can cause a bloated tummy, gastric, acid reflux and stomach discomfort.
Manage your health this season and give your body a break. Do that and come back to work alert, energetic and without obvious weight gain.
The colon plays an important role in our health.
Most people do not realise that the complete length of their colon is wedged with old, hardened faecal matter that only leaves a narrow enough channel for small, softer faeces to pass through.
Failure to cleanse your colon leads to the accumulation of toxins as the years pass.
If the waste in your colon is allowed to build up, it will be absorbed into your bloodstream, eventually making you depressed, irritable, fatigued and lethargic.
A congested colon also restrains your body’s efficiency from absorbing nutrients. This is why your efforts of maintaining an ideal weight are in vain.
Enjoying a cup of detox tea is one of the best ways to spring clean your body and restore digestive health. A detox tea made from 100% organic green tea and natural herbs work gently to cleanse the bowels and get rid of toxins and excess fat stored in the bowel area.
These teas are said to help improve the digestive system to relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence and bloating. This simple act of detoxifying can relieve a host of health problems plaguing most people today.
Proper detox teas should not over-stimulate the gastrointestinal tract or cause any water loss or bowel dependency problems.
It is best to find one with ingredients that are approved by the Malaysian Health Ministry.
Some are certified halal by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), with manufacturing processes that even comply with International Good Manufacturing Practices Standards.
Have a cup of detox tea after your meal and you will soon notice the difference.
Detox teas are usually sold in all leading pharmacies, hypermarkets and selected traditional medical halls nationwide, and within the region, such as Singapore and Brunei.
