Relieve Internal Organ Strain & Boost Your Immune System
If you’ve ever treated your body to the profound respite gained by detox sessions, you’ll be familiar with that wonderful feeling of lightness and freedom that ensues. Along with diet, which directly affects our wellbeing, regular exercise is a major detoxifier. When yoga is practised for detox and immune-system boosting, the asanas (poses) include twists and inversions, which, together with breathing and relaxation exercises, stimulate your metabolism.
Detoxification isn’t new: for thousands of years, many cultures have used regular detoxifying of the body to stay healthy. Today’s air pollution, pesticides and microplastics in food, as well as products laden with chemical additives make detoxification more relevant than ever. The daily dose of poisons we ingest overwhelms the detoxifying organs such as the liver, kidneys, gut, skin and lungs. When the body’s own way of cleansing itself is impaired, our health and wellbeing begin to suffer. We become more susceptible to illness, often feel exhausted and sluggish, and lose our vigour and enthusiasm for life.
Exercise gets the circulation going, causes a rise in body temperature, and supplies the cells with more blood. This makes it easier for toxins and harmful substances to find their way out of the body. A good way to start is to think about the kind of exercise you’ve enjoyed in the past and build on this. Alternatively, step outside and get body and mind moving – why not try Nordic walking, hiking, forest bathing or simply going for a stroll? Exercising daily boosts your metabolism and encourages the natural cleansing and detoxification process. At the Mount Med Resort, we guide you through our fun and varied Fit Performance exercise and yoga programmes and help you find what works best for you in the long term.
Herbal teas and healthy foods are also helpful. The CellNutrition Balance Nutritional Programme relieves strain on the digestive system and boosts cellular metabolism, alleviating or eliminating problems such as reflux, bloating, chronic inflammation and fatigue. Stored toxins and metabolic waste products are dissolved and removed. The nutrition programme aids weight loss, further motivating you to make lasting dietary changes. Taking a break from alcohol and nicotine will also give your liver a rest and relieve tension.
