For most people, summer time is party time which means loads of barbeque, burgers, hotdogs, chips, smores, pop, coolers and alcoholic beverages. Unfortunately, the sun and the fun of partying clog our body with toxins that negatively impacts our health.
For this reason, it is good to detoxify to maintain good health. Through detoxification we get rid of unwanted toxins that affect the body's organs and other systems. You can start the process by reducing your "junk food" intake. The fast and easy tip is to reduce consumption of processed and fast food by 25 %, reduce microwave use by 25 % and your coffee and pop intake by 25%. But why only 25%, you might want to ask. By slowly reducing intake of these "bad" foods and unhealthy practices you will already make a huge difference in your health. When you see the initial results it will surely motivate you to increase your goal.
When you have improved your diet and reduced the toxins in your body you will find that you're more energetic, have increased concentration, and are less stressed. Poor diet, on the contrary, will lead to disease, aging, fatigue, weight gain, and poor concentration.
Signs that you need holistic health intervention
The following are signs that you need a holistic health (and digestive) overhaul: you suffer from constipation, have blocked nose, experience heaviness in the head area; it takes some time before your feel awake in the mornings; you feel mentally and physically exhausted most of the time; you get common colds several times a year; you feel heavy; you feel that you're not breathing properly or digesting properly; you feel lazy with no inclination to work; you suffer from indigestion; you repeatedly spit or have a bad taste in your mouth; you lost appetite; and your tongue is often coated with a thick film in the morning.
What you can do
Apart from detoxifying, here are some ayurvedic health advices to energize you when you feel heavy and sluggish:
Meditate for a few minutes especially if it's been a tough day for you. This break gives your body the time to relax and de-stress.
Give away something that you cherish. Make your life simpler and don't get tied to your possessions. Clinical studies show that being materialistic causes depression. On the contrary, simplicity creates happiness.
Do some yoga. Slow movements, breathing and stretching will help you relax. Some positions are designed to counteract certain negative feelings. For instance, doing the downward-facing dog position for a few minutes will help you feel better and de-stress when you are feeling overwhelmed.
