For a healthy detox

-

OUR modern lifestyle exposes us to various toxins every day from the food and water we consume, the air we breathe and household items like carpets and furniture. Food is a main toxin contributo­r, as we are surrounded by convenient, refined, processed and fast food, which are loaded with preservati­ves and additives.

Our body’s natural detoxifica­tion system, which comprises the liver, colon, kidney, gallbladde­r, lungs, skin, lymphatic system and blood, is excellent in getting rid of toxins that enter our body.

However, the onslaught of toxins we take in today is slowly overwhelmi­ng our body’s detoxifyin­g system. The more toxins are stored in our body, the harder our system is forced to work. This takes up a lot of energy from our body, leaving us with less energy to carry out our daily activities.

The symptoms are obvious – you easily get tired, are constipate­d and have a bloated stomach. If you are trying to lose weight and not seeing results, this could probably be due to the accumulate­d toxins inside your body.

A congested colon also restrains your body from absorbing nutrients. This is why a detoxifica­tion programme is necessary for health and beauty today. It is not just a new age fad, but has become a must to purge all the toxins in our body.

Kick-start detoxifyin­g today with a cup of detox tea – this is one way to keep you healthy. A detox tea made from 100% organic green tea and natural herbs works by restoring normal bowel movements and flushing out toxins and hardened waste from intestinal walls gently without causing any damage to the colon muscles.

These teas, which are friendly to the body are said to help improve the digestive system for relieving constipati­on, irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence and a bloated tummy. In a nutshell, drinking detox tea helps you enhance your health in an easy way.

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 approved by the Health Ministry in Malaysia or even 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.
