Signs that the body is contaminated: it can also be “swept” naturally

“People also often seek intestinal cleansers because they are not determined to have an effective enema procedure, but not always a pleasant one. In this case, the fibers called intestinal broom – banana seed peel, ground flaxseed, wheat bran are perfect, ”says Roberta Janulytė, Gintarinės vaistinė pharmacist, in a press release.

Is it necessary or not?

Before cleaning the body, according to the pharmacist, you must first critically evaluate your lifestyle, find out how to get the most harmful substances (harmful habits, poor diet, infrequent and short stay in nature, little physical activity) and try to eliminate or reduce negative effects.

Aida Žvirblienė, a doctor from the InMedica medical clinic network, explains to the pharmacist and tells him that it is better not to cleanse the body, but not to contaminate it with processed products, alcohol and smoking.

“The most important thing is to increase the diversity of the microflora by consuming a sufficient amount of vegetables and fruits, supplementing the body with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, minerals and other vitamins. It is like a fertilizer for our microflora, so that it can function perfectly, releasing the necessary amounts of valuable metabolites, which modulate the work of the brain, the immune system, reduce inflammatory processes in the body ”, points out the doctor.

According to her, scientific research has shown that the body’s microflora is also altered by physical activity and various relaxation techniques: mindfulness classes, meditation, music therapy, not therapy.

When is it necessary to cleanse the body?

The body can neutralize and eliminate toxic substances; these processes take place constantly. However, modern lifestyles – stress, tension, lack of sleep, a relatively sedentary lifestyle, an unbalanced diet, and high levels of air, water, and soil pollution – introduce many more harmful substances into the body. those that can be removed.

“For this reason, it is necessary to help the body get rid of harmful substances, but it should be done under the supervision of a specialist – you need to make a plan after evaluating what part of the natural detox is disturbed, how and to what extent contaminated. After doing this, not only the most suitable method and preparations for cleansing the body are selected, but also how long it should take, “says R. Janulytė.

According to her, the body must cleanse itself when it is really needed: when it feels bad for a long time, the functioning of a particular organ or the entire system is interrupted.

“The duration of the detox is more important than how often we do it. On average, body cleansing programs last between 30 and 90 days,” says the pharmacist.

The most common mistake, he said, is overstimulating the gastrointestinal tract with laxatives, whether herbal or chemical, and those that promote urine excretion.

“In this case, not only are harmful substances not eliminated from the body, but also the loss of fluids and electrolytes, potassium and magnesium, which alters the heart, can cause weakness, cramps, dizziness, dehydration of the mucous membranes,” warns R .Janulytė.

Signs of contamination of the body.

The accumulation of harmful substances in the body is indicated by various frequent or persistent ailments: fatigue, gastrointestinal problems – increased acidity of the stomach, feeling of heaviness after eating, bloating, constipation. A weak signal is also a weakened immune system, often recurring viral, bacterial, or fungal infections.

“Another sign of contamination is swelling, fluid retention in the body. This is indicated by bags under the eyes, it is difficult to put on or take off the ring. Also skin problems: rash, gray skin, small pigment spots.

Sudden increase or onset of allergic reactions, although allergies, especially skin or allergic rhinitis, have not been previously diagnosed. A dry, irritating cough and a stuffy, swollen nose without any upper respiratory disease also reveal that the body needs cleaning. Weight gain, while adhering to the principles of a healthy lifestyle, is also a sign, ”says the pharmacist.

According to her, it is possible to choose non-medicinal natural means or herbal preparations that would help to remove harmful substances from the body more quickly.

“The silymarin in marjoram seeds, artichoke, curcumin in turmeric, dandelion root, burdock root and nettle leaves stimulate and improve liver function, they help not only to eliminate harmful substances more fast, but also participate in its neutralization. One of these plants or their extract or a combined preparation of several plants is suitable for use regardless of the reasons why you have decided to cleanse the body and the method you have chosen for it, ”says R. Janulytė.

The pharmacist recommends natural ways to cleanse the body:

• Sauna: toxins are removed with sweat, especially suitable for patients suffering from skin problems, respiratory diseases and weak immune systems.
• A diet based on the principles of a healthy diet is the most popular way to cleanse the body. First steps: it is recommended to give up foods and beverages high in sugar, alcohol, choose raw foods more often, to limit the amount of salt consumed.
