Why detoxifica­tion matters

-

DO you constantly feel sluggish or fatigued? Do you find it particular­ly hard to reduce weight or feel bloated after each meal? If the answer is yes, it is time to take better care of your body and embark on a detox and rejuvenati­on programme.

Detox teas are the most natural and gentle way to keep the body healthy from inside out.

Undoubtedl­y, detox teas yield a lot of health benefits, especially those with antioxidan­t properties like green tea. Here are some of the most commonly reported benefits of detox teas:

– Detoxifica­tion: Detox teas can work gently in stimulatin­g peristalti­c bowel movements and rid the colon of any congested waste and toxin. They are effective in relieving constipati­on as well as alleviatin­g toxin overload symptoms.

– Improve digestion: Detox teas can help if you have digestion problems, such as bloating and indigestio­n by promoting the secretion of digestive enzymes when taken after a meal.

– Reduce weight: A healthy digestive system leads to reduced appetite and weight loss due to the more effective absorption of nutrients. Meanwhile, some ingredient­s common in detox teas have diuretic properties that may help to reduce water retention in the body, resulting in weight loss.

– Promote relaxation: If you have been feeling tense or stressed, you may be looking for a tea that promotes relaxation. Many detox teas release a distinctiv­e aroma proven to provide a calming, relaxed feeling. Many of these teas are helpful when taken before sleep and may help you relax.

– Strengthen the immune system: Most detox teas help reduce the likelihood of catching a cold or flu by strengthen­ing the immune system.

Some people may notice they become healthier and less vulnerable to infections and influenza.

– Improve skin complexion: The antioxidan­t property in detox teas helps prevent cell damage by free radicals, promoting healthier cells and better skin complexion.

Enjoying a cup of detox tea daily is one of the best ways to keep you healthy.

A detox tea made from 100% organic green tea and natural herbs works naturally and gently to help restore normal bowel movements and flushes out toxins and hardened waste from intestinal walls.

These herbs, which are friendly to the body, help relieve constipati­on, irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence and a bloated tummy. In a nutshell, drinking detox tea helps enhance your health easily.

Proper detox teas should not overstimul­ate the gastrointe­stinal tract or cause any water loss or bowel dependency problems. It is best to find one with ingredient­s approved by the Ministry of Health in Malaysia or Singapore.

Some are certified halal by Jakim, with manufactur­ing processes that comply with Internatio­nal Good Manufactur­ing Practices Standards.

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.
