Rejuvenation & Detox
“Your body is a Temple. You are what you eat” - This is still the mantra for healthy living and superior well-being. “Respect and honor your temple – and it will honor you” - It is a matter of simple choice, really! Rejuvenation & Detoxification Program . Do you regularly clean your house? Then, why not your body? Detoxified body is able to gain resilience, function more effectively and feel rejuvenated. Toxicity in the body is a raging health issue, but conventional medicine fails to acknowledge it. This is a major underlying cause for numerous chronic diseases including cancer. Obesity, memory loss, hormonal imbalances, lack of vitality, fatigue, sleep disturbances and metabolic syndrome are some of the common manifestations of a body filled with toxicity. Fitness Facts In a room (on an average) out of 100 people there are: . 42 suffering from obesity . 36 addicted to smoking . 28 indulge in excess use of alcohol . 53 chooses junk food over home-cooked meals . 18 refuses to exercise . 22 have type 2 diabetes . 13 have high blood pressure . 09 have breathing problems . 98 inhale pollution and harmful gases . Inhaling harmful air, obesity, smoking and eating junk food is most common. Why Rejuvenation & Detoxification? Modern life can be hectic and to feel energized to deal with everyday stresses, it is important to feel rejuvenated. The build-up of toxins lead to weakening the immune system of the body and that is where a simple detoxification or cleanse can help the body to fight. Rejuvenation & Detoxification is primarily about eliminating toxins from the body and making it feel more energized and healthy. -
