How to combine losing weight with a detox: 4 types of body detoxification!

What is the best method for losing weight? Researchers have found evidence indicating that obesity is featured with a body’s metabolism that does not function properly. So, likely the best method for losing weight is to focuss on: a healthy lifestyle combined with detoxification procedure. 4 Options for body detoxification are: • 1 – Fasting: Some people believe that giving up food for a period of time allows the body to clear out toxins. But it’s controversial method. And you should be aware that fasting may harm your body, especially if you have certain medical conditions. So talk to your doctor before trying any type of calorie restriction. • 2 – Colonics, or colon hydrotherapy: This method uses an infusion of water under pressure to removes waste from the colon. While many people say the practice makes them feel better, most doctors say there is no need for a colonic outside of cases of severe pathological constipation or if you choose to use it as a colonoscopy preparation. Be aware of the risks: there is no licensing for colonic hydrotherapy, and there are various ‘alternative’ techniques being used. So if you decide to try it: ask questions and go see the equipment and facility to make sure everything is clean!! • 3 – Infrared sauna: This is a newer form of the traditional steam sauna. This method warms the body using radiant heat. Proponents say it is a more comfortable experience than steam-heat saunas. Both make you sweat, which is good for moving toxins out of the body. • 4 – Ionic foot baths and detoxing foot pads: These products claim to remove toxins through the feet, either by running an electric current from electrodes through water or by herbs in a pad that emit “far infrared radiation.” Save your money! The feet play no role in detoxification, doctors say, and the effects you see can be explained by simple chemistry. Source: Cleveland.com

7 Reasons for not being afraid of a colonoscopy: even a Panda can get it!

On may 1 (2009) Tai Shan, the giant Panda of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo was given a colonoscopy – an endoscopic exam was made of his upper and lower intestinal tract to check whether he had healed from eosinophilic colitis, a rare chronic inflammatory bowel condition diagnosed last summer. A colonoscopy can for sure save a life: even a Panda can get it! 7 reasons for not being afraid of a colonoscopy: • 1 – You can not feel a colonic polyps forming, and when you have the symptoms, it may already be too late. • 2 – The preperation on the day before may be inconvenient, but it’s certainly worth your life. • 3 – You will be positioned comfortably on your left side during the procedure, and the medical experts maintain your modesty and dignity as much as possible. • 4 – You will be asleep for the entire colonoscopy procedure – which will likely only take about 20 minutes (depending on whether or not you have polyps to be removed). • 5 – Recovery time is usually only about 30 minutes, and normally you will be able leave immediately… and enjoy a meal! • 6 – The best part – you will leave with peace of mind. • 7 – Colorectal cancer is often highly treatable: when found and treated early, the five-year survival rate is about 90 percent. Karen Smith (registered colonscopy unit nurse) says: “If you have any of the following you should check with your doctor for prompt diagnosis and treatment: Change in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool, that lasts for more than a few days. Feeling that you need to have a bowel movement that is not relieved by doing so. Rectal bleeding, dark stools, or blood in the stool (often, though, the stool will look normal). Cramping or abdominal pain. Weakness and fatigue. So, please, if you are 50 or older, it’s time for a screening colonoscopy.” Source: Theledger.com
