DETOX & CLEANSING

The liver is the organ responsible for most of the body's metabolic functions, including the crucial activities of eliminating unnecessary or foreign substances. This major gland is central to the purification of our body.

Why are detoxification and purification important? An unhealthy lifestyle and poor habits, such as alcohol and medication intake, put a strain on the liver's normal functioning. That's why it's essential to detoxify the liver with a detox action that gives the body the right boost. In addition to the liver, the kidneys are major purifiers of our body, constantly filtering out toxins and eliminating them through urine. But that's not all: the kidneys also regulate the delicate water-salt balance, thus affecting water retention. Swollen legs and ankles are just the most evident manifestation of this phenomenon.

What activities can aid in the detox process? A low-glycemic diet that's not excessively high in sodium, with appropriate energy intake, absence of alcohol, and reduced consumption of fats and refined foods is beneficial. Physical exercise is also of great help.
