Many people take sweating for granted.  Many deodorants and
anti-perspirants today are made to stop your body from sweating.
Sweating is a natural mechanism the body uses to cleanse and  remove
harmful toxins and parasites that build up in your body by secreting them through your pores.  The following step by step guide will show you how to not only sweat more BUT get the most out of every situation to help your body to what it was made to do.

1.  First thing you need to know is that Sweating is NOT BAD no matter what the advertisements tell you!  If you’re like me, you tend to sweat a lot, which may or may not cause some confidence issues… BUT just know that the more you sweat, the more waste your body is removing.  A jog a day keeps the doctor away!  :)

Even if you’re not a big jogger or feel like jogging isn’t the best choice for you, try to be active even while you’re at home.  You’d be surprised how satisfying it is to not only do housework and spring cleaning, but burn a few calories and detox your pores at the same time.

2.  Switch Deodorants!!!  Check out the deodorant you’re using and make sure it isn’t an antiperspirant.   A deodorant is made to mask the natural smell our bodies put off when we sweat, but an antiperspirant is made to STOP the sweat which is not a good step towards our goal of a Total Body Cleanse.

3.  Everything you do burns calories (a nice bonus) and sweating helps in ways most people don’t appreciate or understand.  If you’re at home, turn the air conditioner up a few degrees or don’t use it at all.  This will allow you a bit of extra sweat time to help cleanse your body a bit more.   Let’s say you’re at home and you want to sweat a little while watching TV,  you could easily throw on a sweatshirt or Long sleeve shirt to help your body sweat even just a little bit more without fooling with added exercise!

4.  Have you ever stayed at a Hotel and wondered why they would have a Sauna room?? Well most people don’t understand the multitude of health benefits a Sauna can provide.  A Sauna is helping your body to sweat at an accelerated rate, along with some muscle relaxation.  So next time you’re at a “Fancy” hotel,  check it out for a few minutes and
see if it helps you feel more cleansed.

5.  DON’T be AFRAID to SWEAT!  :)  One thing about our culture that I
believe is negatively affecting the health of our society is the
advertising that makes everyone believe sweating is bad!  It is clearly
not and once you get out and realize how healthy it is to just sweat a
little, you’ll realize the wealth of benefits sweating can truly have.

Let’s do a quick recap of all the benefits sweating can have!

5.Last But NOT Least… a Happier Soul

Before we begin we should clarify 2 types of toxins that can cause you to feel out of balance on the way to a total cleanse.

Environmental Toxins:    Sometimes called exogenous (made outside your body) toxins, environmental toxins include all the chemicals and pollutants that you’re exposed to through air, water, and food.
Common environmental toxins include pesticides, herbicides, prescription and over-the-counter medications, carbon monoxide, triclosan, bisphenol A, phthalates, and volatile organic compounds.
Metabolic Toxins: Sometimes called endogenous (made inside your body) toxins, metabolic toxins are produced by each of your cells as they go about their everyday metabolic processes. Metabolic toxins can also be produced by microorganisms that act on incompletely digested food in your digestive tract.
Environmental Toxins are definitely the more dangerous of the 2 types in that they are all around you and are almost impossible to avoid unless you make positives steps towards eliminating them.  Almost everything that you do involves some sort of environmental toxin.
One thing that most people don’t realize is how prescription and over-the-counter medications can negatively affect your health.  Many people are lured into believing that a “pill” can help solve all of their problems when in all actuality the key to being truly detoxed is learning to live your life without relying on medications.   Society puts such an emphasis on pharmaceuticals that almost every quirk that someone has that makes them unique can be “cured” by taking one prescription pill.

Instead, remember that there are natural, healthy processes for dealing with toxins, poisons, germs, and bacteria.  A body cleanse may be exactly what you need.
A museum that deeply explores the hot-button topic of Psychiatry and the evils associated with it can be found here @ www.cchr.org. They currently have a museum set up in LA, California that explores the deep-rooted problems with Psychiatry and the diagnoses’ that a lot of modern day doctors think are absurd. The exhibit is titled Psychiatry: An Industry Of Death and has been receiving a lot of attention lately.

Body cleansing is the process of removing toxins from your body.  Simple concept, right?  In modern society, we consume more toxins than we know.  That Whopper from Burger King, the Grilled Stuft Burrito from Taco Bell, the Big Mac and fries….all of these things contain substances that the human body cannot digest.  Over a lifetime of consuming these substances, our body gets backed up with toxins it cannot digest and needs a little help.  That’s where a body cleanse comes in.

A body cleanse can be done in a multitude of ways.  Contrast showers, detoxification foot pads, oil pulling, Scientology’s Purification Rundown, the Master Cleanse and the Fruit Flush are just a few.  There are mild and easy methods like the contrast shower and there are harder and longer methods like the Master Cleanse.  Most health and vitamin stores carry some sort of body cleanse formula; generally these are taken in pill form over the course of a week.

There are many different reasons to do a body cleanse or detox.  One reason for the huge fad in detox diets is weight loss.  The human body retains a lot of water so in the first few days of a detox, your body sheds this water and you quickly lose pounds and inches in water weight.  What most people DON’T know is that this weight is the easiest and quickest to gain back.

Another reason to detox is for general wellbeing.  The toxins that dwell in the body can affect many things.  That craving for caffeine?  The need to smoke?  Cravings and addictions are caused by a build-up of toxins.  By body cleansing, you get rid of the toxins causing these cravings and can ultimately get rid of the cravings themselves.  Ever spoken to the smoker who quit and now can’t even be in the same room as cigarette smoke without gagging?  Same thing.  Their body got rid of the toxins that made cigarettes attractive to them and now the body is rejecting those toxins, remembering what it did to the body.

Body cleansing and detox diets have been referred to as elaborate hoaxes by the scientific community.   While there may not be any scientific data that truly explains the inner workings of toxins in the body and body cleansing methods, there are thousands of people who have tried the methods and experienced great results.

You feel better.  Feel refreshed.  Most people report an increase in energy and an improvement in mood.  Could this be all in the head?  Perhaps.  But there is not enough quantitative data to prove one way or the other.  So be safe.  Read your directions.  Follow them.  Judge for yourself.
