Spring detox
Beyonce lost 10 kilos in 15 days on a lemon detox, Gwyneth Patrol got back her slim pre-pregnancy silhuette in a flash thanks to dr Joshi’s formula whose benefits also wowed Oprah Winfrey and Kate Moss. Grażyna Wolszczak, one of the most beautful Polish actresses has also regularly used detox and to great effect as one can clearly see.
Detox is not, however, and should never be a way for losing weight- that is its pleasant side effect-but a path to better health. Our organs, tired with digesting heavy meals consumed in wintertime, require well-deserved rest. It is commonly known that healthy organs are the foundation for healthy body. “During one of the conferences of Royal Medical Association in London, 57 leading doctors from all over Europe has confirmed that 90% of chronic diseases are caused by toxins stored in our intestines as well as shortages of vitamins and minerals.” Well conducted detox makes our skin glow, speeds up metabolism and gives as a boost of energy so much needed after winter. We must remember, though, that detox calls for proper beginning and ending.
Each and every detoxifacation starts with cleansing long intestines by change of diet hand in hand with hydrocolonics. We must approach the subject responsibly and create proper conditions such as time and peace.
