How much of time do you have for your body? The body is the carrier of your true self and if denied due care and attention, it may turn against you and force it on you. However, it is always better to stick to prophylaxis than to take curative measures. Since everyone long to be and stay healthy, the issue of health and health related matters have become major issues in our world and often times, one even comes up with the question of who really is into the business for the good reasons other than to take advantage of people’s ignorance and exploit for some health programs that never received a positive feedback, since those who patronize still have to press ahead in search for a better solution.

Fasting and Detoxification

When we become ill, usually the first thing that that leaves us is the desire for food. This lack of interest in food is the way the body helps itself recover through the cleansing of toxins that caused the illness. Fasting allows the digestive tract to rest from its usual work so that it can put all its energy into activating the pituitary gland that releases growth hormones used to produce and restore cells that will return you to a greater sense of well-being and renewed energy.

Fasting helps the body by ridding the body of the poisons that are left to fester in the body. The liver is essentially the garbage disposal of the human body. If the liver is unable to rid the body completely of the toxins they will affect other parts of the body such as the blood, lymph nodes, digestive system, muscles and joints.  Bentonite clay helps to accelerate the process started through fasting by absorbing and gathering the toxins with the Psyllium husk to help with the removal of the poisons.  The herbs included in the formula help to provide the body with the nutrients it needs and help to soften bowel movements. 

This process of fasting and detoxification is the best and safest way to help the body to return to normal function.

Sun Salutation Yoga Pose

This pose is usually performed in a morning session because it allows the mind to relax and is calming for the body. These are just a few of the benefits of this pose and it is a brilliant way for you to start each day.

This is a common posture when it comes to Yoga. It stretches your joints and your spine, and also regulates your breathing which helps in calming the mind and body. It's usually a good exercise to start with.

How to perform the pose:

First, put your hands in a prayer position just in front of the chest whilst exhaling.

Secondly, whilst inhaling, bring your arms right above your head, back arched, hips forward, and make sure your legs are as straight as possible. This is a slow movement.

Next, whilst exhaling again, bend over so that your hands are touching the floor, then push them flat onto the ground, making sure that the tips of your fingers and toes are in line.

Inhaling, kneel down with one knee touching the floor and the other on your chest.

Then put both your legs behind you to support your weight in a push-up position and lower your body to the ground.

Point your toes whilst lowering your hips and arching your back. Remember to keep your legs touching and make sure you are raising your hips upwards.

Repeat these positions whilst alternating legs. By the end of it you should be on your feet, so stretch out and return to your original position whilst exhaling.

Warning: Remember though, if you are feeling any pain or discomfort, you need to slowly release your body out of the position that you are in so that you don’t cause yourself an injury.

Healthy Questions by Amity Wellness

Many people have raised concerns over several matters when it comes to healthy cleansing and detox. Some of the most common questions are tackled here by Amity Wellness in order to create awareness and reach out to many people who would like to undertake one of our programs but are afraid. One the question that is often asked is whether one should continue with their medication if they choose to go through detox programs. It can be dangerous to discontinue with your medication depending on your ailment. 

However we recommend that you take them in smaller doses during cleansing period. If one is taking hypertension medicines, during the cleansing process blood pressure drops very fast and if the dosage is not reduced it may fall drastically. Seek medical attention from your doctor as well as from the program advisers who will recommend to you the best program to undertake and the dosage you should take. Another question is whether a person with diabetes is allowed to go through the process. Type 1 diabetic persons are not allowed to go through the full fast or juice only fast. 

It is very dangerous. The best program for people suffering from diabetes is the raw food cleansing though their blood levels should be closely monitored throughout their stay. Amity Wellness advices pregnant women against undertaking any form of detox program. This is because all programs including the raw food program which is not strenuous involve removing toxins from the body system. When these toxins are being removed, they may enter the blood stream and the growing baby may absorb them. The other concern that is raised is whether a person can be healed of a skin condition during and after cleansing. Many skin conditions are associated with bad eating habits. When you go through the cleansing process your digestive system is cleared and the body is able to function actively. 

You will begin to notice a change on your skin. If a person is taking anti-depressants medication, he or she is advised not to stop taking but rather seek advice on the most suitable time to take them. This is to avoid the medication being absorbed in the body together with the cleansing drinks. Note that the detox can be draining emotionally and physically therefore therapists are available to help you deal the changes. There are natural remedies to fight depression but one need to be fully committed. If a woman is menstruating, it is safe to go through the cleansing process. However the cycle may be affected though this should not cause any alarm.

Amity Wellness offers Chinese tea which helps to reduce menstrual pain and tension. Another interesting question is whether a skinny person can undertake the detox or cleansing program. Note that detox is not for weight loss only. A person can be skinny but very unhealthy. Although it is a tough experience and requires commitment, cleansing program is often made easier when you approach it in the right attitude. Have a relaxed mind and be positive and you will enjoy your stay at our Thailand Retreat.

Pre Cleansing Advice by Amity Wellness / Detox Thailand / Retreat

Pre cleansing is a process undertaken to prepare the body for a fasting program. It involves eliminating toxins in the body gradually from your diet on daily basis. The fast consultants advise people who want to undertake a full fast or the juice only fast to go through pre cleansing a few weeks before they start, to reduce intake of foods and drinks that are highly toxic. This is important because it helps the body to adjust well once the program starts and also it helps in moving your body to an alkaline state from the general PH balance. There is a variety of foods that should be avoided such as meat, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, refined carbohydrates, packaged and canned foods which mostly have been processed, fried food, drugs, cigarettes and high amounts of salts. All this foods are high in acid.Pre cleansing is vital because it prepares your body for the changes it will undergo during the full fast.

These changes include deep cleansing. It also boosts the ability of the body to store electrolytes which increase the energy levels during the full fast. A few discomforts can be experienced during this period of pre cleansing. This largely depends on the personality of an individual, levels of toxins and eating habits. Some of these discomforts are nausea, loss of energy and headaches. However it clears off as the body adjusts itself. Take time and seek advice before undertaking any kind of cleansing. This is because everybody is unique and there are different cleansing processes that are designed to suit different kinds of people. If you feel sick or get complications during the process it’s advisable to stop or seek an alternative process. It’s also important to note that it took a long period of time for the toxins to accumulate in the body and it’s wise to eliminate them slowly in order to avoid health complications.Dont just go for a process that will give results fast consider your health  in general. People already suffering from intestinal diseases such as ulcers, colitis, candida and leaky gut syndrome should seek medical approval before undertaking any form of cleansing program.

They may seek to find healing first in order to revitalize their intestines. Amity Wellness advices its guests to consume foods that have alkaline effect. These foods are fresh vegetables, steamed fish, brown rice, fruits, natural yogurt, seeds, broths and nuts. Olive oil is good to be used as a dressing for your salad and make sure you buy the organic products to make the salad. Pineapples are very good in increasing the pre cleansing process and should be largely consumed as one nears the end of this process. The recommended period for pre cleansing is 2 weeks and only 3 days if you are a vegetarian. Remember if you are disciplined in this process, then full fast will not be too tough for you. Amity Wellness offers a raw pre cleansing for people who are unable to pre cleanse at home because of one reason or the other. It takes 2 to 3 days.
