At Sportfuel, we encourage you to begin your healthy eating program with a 14-day diet and gentle cleanse and detoxification program to promote overall wellness, vitality and performance enhancement. Our rationale is this – we are literally swimming in a sea of chemicals and they can adversely affect our health, energy levels and metabolism! From the air we breathe to the food we eat (pesticides), from inside our homes (cleaners, personal care products, poor indoor air quality) to our outside environment (petrochemicals, including DDT, PCBs, dioxins, plastics and more), and even our own end products of metabolism – all create great stress to our bodies. Each year, over 2000 new chemicals are released onto the market, many with untested effects on the body – so chances are, your body’s natural detoxification pathways (liver, kidneys, skin and intestinal tract) are challenged and could benefit from a cleanse.
Nutritional deficits, especially key trace minerals, along with hormonal imbalances, can also impair the body’s natural detoxification processes. While other organs are involved, the liver is by far the most critical, as one of its primary roles is to clear the body of toxins. When the liver becomes sluggish, toxins begin to accumulate in different cells of the body. If this continues, the cells begin to lose their ability to work and communicate correctly. Signs that you may benefit from a detoxification program include the following:
- Recurrent cold and flu
- Disruption in sleep patterns
- Unexplained rashes
- Frequent headaches
- Fatigue
- Inability to balance your weight despite a good nutrition and exercise program
- Hormonal imbalance (especially thyroid)
- Autoimmune disorders
