Unlike what you may think, purifying the body is not a fashion to follow but a necessity that allows us to take care of our body and improve all its fundamental functions. Many talk about purification of the body in conjunction with the change of season, especially when spring arrives, but in reality there is no right time. The signals come directly from our body, whether it is after the holidays or in a period in which we eat badly and, consequently, bad habits are accentuated. Once they enter our body, many toxins and harmful substances that are not eliminated are stored over time in adipose tissues, organs and joints. The origin of toxins is twofold. Conventionally, they are divided between those that can come from the environment that surrounds us (exogenous) and those that come from inside our body, therefore produced by us (endogenous). Purification aims precisely at eliminating harmful substances that cause physical and mental problems: we feel weighed down and swollen, chronic fatigue, headaches, insomnia increase and we are deprived of energy and vitality. The task of eliminating trapped toxins is up to the organs, which work together to be able to expel harmful substances: from the liver, kidneys to lungs, colon and lymphatic system, all must be healthy and functioning for the well-being of our body. Once you have finished your "cleansing program" of the organism, you can expect a series of remarkable benefits.
Digestion is the process by which the body transforms food into energy and nutrients essential for its functioning. The digestive system includes, in addition to the mouth, the pharynx, esophagus, stomach and intestines, also the liver, pancreas and gallbladder, which produce chemicals important for the breakdown of food and for the absorption of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals and fats. The intestine is the last part, as well as the organ responsible for the assimilation of nutrients and the expulsion of waste. A healthy gut is fundamental for our physical well-being, but also psychological. It is no coincidence that the intestine is often referred to as our "second brain". It is one of the most innervated organs in the body and, through the vagus nerve, constantly exchanges information with the brain. Not only that, the intestine is the "headquarters of our defenses": in fact, about 80% of the cells of the immune system are located throughout the digestive system. When there are problems in the intestine, the body sends very clear signals. If, for example, we have an unbalanced diet poor in fruits and vegetables or introduce foods that we do not tolerate, discomfort and disorders begin, such as constipation, diarrhea, bloating or abdominal pain. The world of supplements provides numerous answers and useful remedies to find rapid relief for digestion, intestinal regularity and abdominal swelling.
Bones, cartilage, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue make up the musculoskeletal system, an articulated structure that gives the body support, stability and movement. Thanks to muscle contractions, the body is able to speak, walk, run, perform multiple activities, from the simplest to the most complex, from voluntary to involuntary movements. The muscles are connected to the bones via tendons, strong and flexible fibrous connective bands. Bone health is an issue that everyone must keep in mind. The skeletal system is something we easily take for granted when it is healthy. However, serious consequences can occur if we ignore the most useful advice related to diet, lifestyle and posture. The entire musculoskeletal system needs to be kept in operation, properly nourished, "lubricated", stressed; The needs, as for other body systems, can vary according to factors such as age, sex, physical activity, without forgetting any genetic and environmental aspects. Taking care of these structures means safeguarding not only the ability to move but also all the other functions that they perform; Intervening at the right time and above all in the most appropriate way is the key to preserving the state of well-being and efficiency of the whole body.
Breathing is one of the few bodily activities that takes place spontaneously and continues to occur constantly and regularly during sleep. If the breath is normal we do not even realize that we are doing it so it is a natural reflex, if on the contrary there is no breath or we struggle to breathe everything becomes more difficult. Let's do a little review on the respiratory system. It is the set of organs, formed by the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs, which have the task of supplying oxygen cells and eliminating carbon dioxide produced by the body. This exchange of oxygen-carbon dioxide is of fundamental importance because it allows to give energy to the cells of the whole body and takes place in the lungs by diffusion in the capillaries of the pulmonary alveoli. Before reaching the lungs, the air passes through all the other organs that mainly play a barrier role against foreign bodies (viruses, bacteria, etc., …) that they do not have to reach the lungs. Breathing well is therefore an indispensable task for the proper functioning of the body and to preserve its state of health.
The skin is the first defensive barrier of our body, able to protect us from bacteria and viruses, it maintains water balance and helps regulate body temperature. It is highly sensitive, and recognizes the slightest touch and pain. It is our most visible and extensive organ, and its condition can have a significant impact on our self-esteem. Lifestyle and external factors such as the sun and temperature change have an impact on collagen and elastin levels on the structure of the substances present. As we age our natural production of collagen and elastin slows down and the skin's ability to bind water decreases. The skin loses tone and wrinkles appear. The skin also plays an important psychological role. Since it is the most visible index of our health, the condition of our skin affects how we feel about ourselves and how others see us. When the skin is healthy and without problems it can do its job better and we feel more comfortable and have more confidence in ourselves. Knowing the skin, its structure and functions is important to understand how to take care of it in the best way.
The urinary tract, composed of the kidneys and urinary tract, has the task of eliminating metabolic waste. A very important but equally delicate task: in fact, the urinary tract is often at risk of infection or inflammation. Supplements promote the elimination of liquids thanks to their draining properties and the well-being of the urinary tract, all naturally thanks to the active ingredients of the plants contained in them.
Sight is a precious sense, which gives us about 80% of the information about the surrounding world, and, by virtue of this, it must be safeguarded. Reading, writing on a screen, watching television, working outdoors, being exposed to dust or various weather conditions… All these situations can, over time, lead to the appearance of visual disturbances. This is why it is essential to take care of your eyes! Eye strain is a very common phenomenon. Screens are now everywhere, at work and in leisure time, and these, more often than not, cause discomfort, headaches or malaise. But active life also takes place outdoors, where dust, grains of sand and detergents can cause eye disorders. If you feel discomfort, irritation or excessive tearing, it's time to take action to prevent them. Small vessels and capillaries supply the eyes, providing nourishment and oxygen essential for their well-being and vision. Supporting the physiological functionality of the microcirculation means, therefore, contributing both to the state of health of the eyes and to the physiological functionality of vision.
The term microcirculation refers to the blood circulation that takes place at the level of the minor vessels, the capillaries, precapillaries and venules. These vessels support the major circulatory system and provide oxygen, hormones and nutrients to the tissues. They also carry out a specific action in the removal of waste substances that will then be eliminated from the body. An efficient microcirculation guarantees vitality, good physical performance, and widespread well-being of the organism. Weighted legs, excessively visible veins, swollen ankles, cramps, tingling are all signs not to be underestimated, which indicate a disturbance to the microcirculation. Among the main causes of these disorders, there is a sedentary lifestyle. For this reason, for preventive purposes, it is advisable – in addition to a healthy and correct diet – to carry out physical activity that is not too intense to promote the reactivation of circulation.
Energy supplements are very effective natural remedies when you are going through a busy period and you feel particularly tired or at certain times of the year, such as the change of season (especially in the transition from hot to cold). The sense of tiredness and loss of energy can depend on several factors: stress from work or personal matters, convalescence, little night's rest, an unbalanced lifestyle. Fatigue can also depend on the passage of time that leads the body into conditions of energy imbalance and a slowdown in cognitive and attention skills. If our body fails to produce the necessary energy, mind and body become fatigued and symptoms such as lack of concentration and attention, memory lapses, headaches, drowsiness, numbness and nervousness appear. In the absence of pathological situations, with the right behaviors, rest and nutrition, and the help of some supplement, we can regain our energy and mental clarity. Link between proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle, in addition to giving psychophysical benefits in the short term, also helps in the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases.
Antioxidants are recommended to combat the negative action of free radicals, very reactive molecules produced by the body's cells during metabolic reactions. The production of free radicals can also be the consequence of exposure to environmental factors such as cigarette smoke, sunlight, radiation, chemicals and various medicines, all situations associated with aging and various diseases. Antioxidants can prevent free radicals from oxidizing cellular components. It seems that in some cases they are able to repair molecules damaged by oxidation, block the production of free radicals like a real shield. Antioxidants are fundamental substances that we should take every day to help our body neutralize free radicals, maintain healthy tissues, prevent premature aging and improve cardiovascular circulation.
