  • 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.

Violators will be prosecuted. 296 Chapter 37 Fasting Alan Goldhamer, DC Stephen Helms, NMD Trevor K. Salloum, BA, ND Introduction Humans, unlike chimpanzees, have the ability to survive on water for extended periods of time. 1 The primary adaptation is the ability to use ketones from fat metabolism as an alternate fuel for the central nervous system. 2 The beauty of this adaptation is that during fasting the body prioritizes fat catabolism, the most concentrated caloric energy resource (9 vs 4 kcal for carbohydrates and protein), and thus safeguards catabolism of essential structures (nerves, muscles, organs, etc.) until stored adipose tissue is severely depleted—after fasting several weeks to months, depending on fat stores as well as metabolic, stress, and activity level. However, once this threshold is crossed in unattended fasting, starvation ensues (the body uses essential tissue for fuel, relying on protein as a major fuel source), resulting in death due to organ failure. 3 Therapeutic fasting is voluntary, supervised abstinence from all food and drink except water for a specific time. The health promoting benefits are due to the marshalling of our metabolic potential as cellular systems manage internal resources more efficiently. The body thus can restore structure and function in a way analogous to rebooting a computer that has stopped working properly. Unlike a machine, however, the body can adapt dynamically to its internal environment, allowing the body to do what it does best, heal itself.
