5 WAYS TO DETOX YOUR BODY

Hello Podders!

Welcome to the New Year! May it be abundant with good health!

I’m sure you’ve all eaten too much, partied too much, had too much fun in the sun after the summer Christmas holidays right?

And I also bet that your poor body is feeling sluggish and you’ve not enjoyed your first week back at the office.  You’re yawning at 3pm, by 7pm you find yourself wishing for bedtime and when it’s time to get up at 6am you hit the snooze button on the alarm a good few times before dragging yourself out of bed.  Repeat.  Right?

Be kind to yourself.  It’s not just the Summer Holidays that have hurt you…. It’s also all the chemicals we subject our bodies to… the pollutants in the air we breathe, the skin products we use, the chemicals in the products we clean our homes, our clothes, our cars with… the list is endless.  It is estimated there are over 80,000 hazadous chemicals we are exposed to nowadays.

Well, we have a solution at The Ozone Pod.  Five simple ways to DETOX your body so that you can feel more energetic and get rid of those nasty nunu’s that are stopping you from jumping head first into the New Year with vigour and passion!

So, let’s get to it.

1. Get your head right.
   By that I don’t mean, turn it to the right, I mean, work through what you are expecting from your detox and how you are going to manage it.  Tell your family and your co-workers what your intentions are and ask for their support.  Ask them to help you up when you feel you are not staying on track.  Ask them not to tempt you with foods and drinks you are choosing to stop partaking in.
2. Ozonate Your Body
   Doing a 30 minute ozone pod session each day for 3 days is one of the best ways to detox. Ozone eliminates toxins such as fungus, bacteria, viruses, parasites and heavy metals.It is estimated that the average person hosts more than 700 toxins in their bodies at any given time.

3. Get your diet in shape.
   Stay away from sugars and carbohydrates.  Pile up with fresh (organic if possible) veggies and fruit and limit your protein intake of red meat.  Keeping your blood sugar levels constant will help prevent mood swings and hormonal imbalances, so eat small frequent meals. 

4. Drink water and fermented drinks.
   It goes without saying – drink water!  We also advocate that you drink fermented teas such as Kombucha which has made a huge name in the market and is easy to make at home these days.  Fermented drinks are loaded with organic acids, potassium, enzymes and probiotics – all super ways to keep your digestive system cleansed.

5. Get good quality sleep.
   It’s not the quantity of sleep, it’s the quality!  Switch off TV’s, cellphones and other devices an hour before bedtime.  Take a long relaxing bath to which you have added a handful of Epsom Salts and, while you’re in the bath, brush your body with an organic loofah.  Add a couple of drops of lavender or chamomile essential oils to the warm water for extra pampering.

Cleansing and re-loving your body is essential to your health and wellbeing and should be undertaken regularly.

HERE'S TO GOOD HEALTH!

Menopause doesn't need to be a problem

So menopause is taking over your life and you’re feeling like a woman (not). 

You’re hot when other people are cold, you snap at your loved ones and in the next minute you’re crying or laughing and don’t even think about getting a good nights’ sleep?!  

Welcome to your new life!  The menopausal one.

The good news is it isn’t all downhill from here. 

Many women don’t take Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for fear of getting breast cancer as there have been many articles written linking breast cancer with HRT.  Additional scares of having a stroke and or blood clots also stop women from going on to some form of HRT or ERT (Estrogen Replacement Therapy).  They start looking for alternative ways to handle those nasty hot flashes, mood swings and diminishing sex drive.

The effect of soy isoflavones (if you’re not intolerant of soy) on menopausal symptoms is promising, but not clear.  Many vitamins and supplements on the market, such as black cohosh also promise relief from symptoms but as yet nothing has been proven.

James Sloane, herb-man extraordinaire, sums it up in a report where he writes that it is important during any form of hormonal imbalance to keep the adrenal glands healthy.  Although the ovaries are the primary source for the production of progesterone, estrogen and testosterone, the adrenal glands too produce these hormones.  The adrenals do this to help maintain hormone balance in the body, and to help act as a cushion for when the ovaries start to shut down during menopause.

Stimulants such as caffeine, ephedrine and nicotine, not to mention stress and steroids are the biggest killers of the adrenal glands.  So avoid them, ladies!  And because the adrenal glands use more Vitamin C than any other part of the body, this should be supplemented.

Don't use synthetic Vit C.  Instead, go for the real stuff like Amla Berries (Indian Gooseberries) which are packed with Vit C.  In fact, they are the highest herbal source of Vit C, followed by Camu Camu and Acerola Cherries.

The next thing those adrenals need is Pantothenic Acid which is best found in Bee Pollen… but where to find that!  There are various herbs which also have a strengthening effect on the adrenal glands, the best being Schisandra Berry, Licorice Root, Suma, Siberian Ginseng and Nettle Leaf.

We also suggest changing your diet to include as much organic food as possible.  Unfortunately many meats, poultry and veggies found in local supermarkets come from farms where antibiotics, pesticides and GMOs are prevalent.  These toxic foods put more stress on your already overstressed body and the adrenal glands (and thyroid too) go into panic mode.

At The Ozone Pod we have successfully assisted pre-menopausal and menopaused women deal with their symptoms using Ozone Therapy and good supplements like Nutrilite’s Siberian Ginseng (which we supply).  While Ozone never ‘cures’ menopause, the enriched oxygen in the bloodstream assists the adrenal glands to cope with the overload of stress and stimulants which most women just don’t (or can’t) cut down on.  Once the ozone has oxidised the pathogens, the liver takes over to flush them out.  Once again Ozone to the rescue – with the bloodstream filled with life-giving oxygen, the liver is able to do its trash-disposal without straining itself.  The increased oxygen also helps the body to regulate its temperature, so hot flashes, while not completely arrested, become shorter in duration and easier to handle.  Sleep deprivation also becomes a thing of the past as ozone assists in the release of natural melatonin.

So, ladies, take back your life and don’t let menopause affect it.
