The problem arises when <strong>we think our body is invincible<\/strong> and we don\u2019t treat it like a living creature that <strong>requires care to function optimally<\/strong> and prevent developing illnesses. Even though <strong>our body\u2019s nature is to work continually for everything to run smoothly,<\/strong> when we live an <strong>unhealthy lifestyle disconnected from nature<\/strong>, we <strong>overwork our system<\/strong> and <strong>disrupt our organism from getting rid of all the toxins<\/strong> it accumulates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The nutritional expert at SHA Wellness Clinic, Mar\u00eda Romeralo, emphasizes the importance of detoxing the body<\/strong> when we\u2019ve fallen out of the healthy bandwagon. In fact, <strong>Traditional Chinese Medicine states that spring is the ideal time to revitalise and cleanse the body. <\/strong>According to <strong>TCM\u2019s Five Element Theory,<\/strong> <strong>the liver is the dominant organ during springtime<\/strong>, therefore it is <strong>important to cleanse it during this season.<\/strong> Strengthening the liver throughout spring will <strong>determine our state of health for the rest of the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>liver is the main organ of detoxification<\/strong> and is also responsible for over 500 bodily functions. <strong>It filters everything we ingest<\/strong>; therefore, it <strong>works continually to rid our body from the toxins we accumulate.<\/strong> As TCM highlights, the liver is responsible for the smooth flow of qi (energy) throughout the body. <strong>When the liver functions smoothly<\/strong>, both <strong>our physical and emotional health are in balance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>During wintertime, our body builds up toxins<\/strong> from the preservatives, pesticides, stimulants and heavy metals our food contains. <strong>Our diet is heavier; we move less and spend less time outdoors.<\/strong> All of these factors <strong>cause stagnant energy in our body<\/strong>, preventing vital organs to function optimally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When spring arrives, our body needs to adapt to the new season. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Spring represents growth, energy flow and life,<\/strong> and just like all living things, we must <strong>synchronise our bodies with nature and its natural cycles. <\/strong>So, <strong>how can we adjust to the change of season?<\/strong> <strong>Romeralo recommends adapting our diet in spring<\/strong>, as our body will adjust accordingly and our organism will cleanse itself from the excess toxins accumulated throughout winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A spring detox will provide multiple benefits<\/strong> to your health and wellbeing, from <strong>improved digestion<\/strong>,<strong> strengthened immune system,<\/strong> <strong>increased energy, better sleep, lowered heart rate, weight-loss, glowing skin, better memory<\/strong> and<strong> concentration to a decrease in stress levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spring Detox<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>What foods should we and shouldn&#8217;t we include in our diet?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The foods we should avoid <strong>slow down the body\u2019s natural detox function.<\/strong> Why? In the case of<strong> caffeine<\/strong> and<strong> sugar<\/strong>, they <strong>provoke a rise and drop of sugar levels in the blood<\/strong>, which as a result <strong>causes the release of cortisol<\/strong> (the stress hormone) and <strong>stress slows down the detoxification process.<\/strong> Therefore, we should avoid them or keep them to a minimum during a detox.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We should <strong>aim to eat vegetables<\/strong> that are either <strong>steamed, blanched, quickly saut\u00e9ed, raw<\/strong> or<strong> pickled<\/strong> and <strong>avoid eating foods<\/strong> that have been <strong>fried or cooked in the oven.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another tip is to <strong>never overeat<\/strong>, rather you should practice <a href=\"https:\/\/pre.shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/the-mindful-eating-movement\/\">Mindful Eating<\/a> and eat until you\u2019re<strong> 80% full,<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/pre.shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/7-life-secrets-of-the-oldest-people-in-the-world\/\">the people of Okinawa do<\/a>, the population that live the longest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During a detox period, <strong>we shouldn\u2019t feel like we are depriving ourselves<\/strong>, rather that we are <strong>eliminating foods that have a detrimental effect for our health<\/strong> and <strong>substituting<\/strong> them with <strong>healthier alternatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The first few days might be hard to adjust to<\/strong>, but in just a matter of days, we will <strong>start to feel more energetic, vital <\/strong>and<strong> emotionally <\/strong>and<strong> physically balanced. <\/strong>In addition, the nutritionally dense food we will be ingesting will <strong>strengthen our immune system<\/strong> and <strong>improve our digestive health.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Spend this spring detoxing your organism to boost your health<\/strong> for the rest of the year and to <strong>feel your best during the summer!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy recipes to detox the body:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our nutritional expert Melanie Waxman has created <a href=\"https:\/\/pre.shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/spring-detox-recipes-to-cleanse-the-liver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">easy recipes to detox your organism<\/a> throughout spring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yoga detox:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For an <strong>in-depth detox<\/strong>, we <strong>recommend practicing yoga.<\/strong> Try this yoga routine to deepen your cleanse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The human body is one of the most fascinating, complex and efficient machines to exist.
