Today on the site, we will learn one of the many methods on how to detox your body - today’s topic on the Ionic Foot Detox Bath, another method in detoxification that seems easier than adjusting to a strict diet of foods you wouldn’t even dare be in the same room with. If you haven’t read the previous post on detoxing your body, I suggest you do some skimming right away and get up to date on the whole detoxification subject.
The Ionic Foot Detox Bath
The goal of the ionic foot detox bath is to re-balance the energy system in the body and allow it to return to a state where it will be able to detoxify itself at an
optimum level.
Ionic foot detox is all about an apparatus that produce ions, which are positive or negatively charged molecule. All you need is a water basin filled with tap water and some salt as a conductor to enhance or add electricity and boost the ionization process. Ions are atoms that gain or lose an electron, which determines whether they are positively charged or negatively charged. If an ion loses an electron, it's charge is negative, and it will be positively charged if it gains an electron. As time goes on in a life of technology, your body is bombarded by pollution through chemicals of many varieties, and all this throws off the balance of ions in your body. A body full of more positive ions will feel beat down, in pain, full of stress, and everything no one wants to feel. As you guessed, a body more on negative ions will feel the opposite - relaxed, energized, calm and peaceful. But by balancing the body’s ions, your body will be able to work at it’s best in any task you throw at it, in this case, detoxifying itself.
How The Ionic Foot Bath Works
The way the ionic foot detox bath works is by producing ions with this apparatus which will be absorbed through the feet, your body will be able to re-align it’s energy system by balancing the positive and negative ions to each other. Once balance is restored, your body will have new and repaired cells in organs allowing them to remove toxins at optimum levels. Using the skin organ as an example, can you guess which type of skin is better at removing toxins through sweat (as is the way skin detoxifies your body), skin that has very good and strong cells or one that has badly damaged cells? The former type of skin will be able to detoxify better because it itself is in better condition, and this is what the ionic detox foot bath aims to do with your body.
By now some of you are wondering “why can’t I just buy a pack of iodized salt, or some sea salt and dip my feet into a tub of that?” For one thing, by living in the same environment, there is no doubt the toxins will come back eventually, and that means more money to waste on more packs of salt. Why not just buy an ionic detox bath and only pay your electrical bill to use it! Why not make it better by cutting off 30 minutes of television, and pick up a book while you’re receiving treatment, reduce the cost of your electricity bill, expand your knowledge and improve your health all in the same 30 minutes!
Now as you use the ionic foot bath, you may notice color changes in the water, and these changes supposedly vary due to what part of the body is detoxifying through the feet. But critics and scientists have found that it is simply a chemical reaction from electricity passing through the various minute amount of minerals and chemicals in tap water and the metals of the apparatus. While you shouldn’t be looking for color changes, there will be some gunk - mucus, oil, dirt, etc. that float above the water that will be coming from your feet and not a chemical reaction. Does this thing actually work? There have been many heartwarming testimonies that will approve of the ionic foot detox bath, but the best way is to try yourself. But if that doesn’t help your decision, try to remember a time you spent at the beach, whether walking on the sand or swimming in the water. Doesn’t it feel relaxing, calm and peace-like? Believe it or not, there was a process in which your body was healing and lead to those feeling, at the beach! This very process is being simulated in the ionic foot bath, of course it has been enhanced to perform stronger and better on your body, so I’m sure most of you already know how it works without trying. But don’t go taking long walks on the beach now, you’ll have to be training for a marathon and use up a lot of time before the effects kick in, or hasten up the process and get a ionic foot detox bath right away! They’re cheap and long lasting, nothing to lose except pain, stress, sick days, damaged cells, toxins, diseases, arthritis, bad skin, and even mold and lyme, and there‘s even a story of one machine that battled cancer! After that, all you have to gain is a stronger immune system, better breathing, improve nutrient absorption for better nutrition , better sleep, improved blood circulation, and overall a healthy life!
So it doesn’t take much thought to see how detoxification can improve your life in many areas that you wouldn’t imagine have been affected by just living in a polluted environment. With tools such as the detox foot pads and the ionic foot detox bath, and a good health plan (exercise, exercise, meals, rest, and exercise!) you can improve your body to perform at it’s peak and enjoy a healthy and long lasting life.
Welcome to the site. I plan to make this site as large as possible, containing a massive amount of information relating to the world of detoxification. To start off today's post let's learn what detoxification is all about.
How To Detoxify Your Body
What’s with the craze surrounding detoxing your body? As the world enters an era where maintaining one’s health is a major priority, the detoxification process, or detox for short, seems to rank high with the many methods and diets used in achieving this goal. Seeing that you have arrived at this site, I take it you too have decided to be serious about your health, but don’t know whether detoxing your body is a good choice to take. Here at the How To Detoxify Your Body site, we aim to provide your with as much information to help you make the right choice and work towards and maintain a healthy body.
So, what is the detox process? Detoxification basically concerns the ability to remove harmful substances from your body. By simply living in a certain environment, your body will come in contact with many toxins that attribute to the damage in your body. Substances such as free radicals even lead to physical changes in your body, such as wrinkles and aging of skin and organs. While the experts recommend eating healthy foods, chances are that you weren’t born eating healthy, so some damage has already been done. Besides, a healthy diet isn’t always the cure to all your problems. For example, to build muscles you need a healthy diet with protein, but that isn’t enough. You also need to workout! If you’re wondering why I used that example, muscle deteriorates as you age, and common sense tells us we need muscles to move around, so some of your mobility goes away with it. By now I hope you’ve learned that you need to combine a healthy diet with some kind of plan to ensure your body gets all the proper treatment it needs. One of these plans could be the detox diet for you, but who knows until you’ve gathered all the information you need?
So far, you’ve learned about toxic substances that harm your body simply due to where you live. Well, you can also cause harm to your body by eating the wrong kinds of food, drinking the wrong drinks (time to tone it down party boy!), and coming in contact with the wrong chemicals (pollution anyone?). I’m sure we all know about what bad foods could do to your body, but how many of us know what makes a bad food….well, bad? Let’s see….preservatives, color additives, flavor additives, trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils, acids, insect/animal contamination, other kinds of contamination (hair, material, dirt, etc.), bacteria, viruses, radiation,…a little blue in the face? I think you got the point. Please don’t be afraid to eat food anymore, granted there are some little bad guys hitching a ride on your sour cream covered tortilla chip, your state of health isn‘t in as much danger as it seems.
On to the process of detoxing your body, the main point of this paper. Is it a good idea? If you haven’t experienced it already, sooner or later you’ll find the critics of detoxing methods. The experts tell us that our body has it’s own natural detoxification center, including the lungs, heart, kidneys and skin. Though this may be true, ask yourself is it enough? Consider the change your environment has undergone due the technological advances your area has made, and the pollution is has brought - all those chemicals in the air, the animals and plants (YOUR FOOD!!!), and water sources that eventually end up inside you. You could wait until your body adapts to handle these problems in the next decade or so, or try detoxifying yourself NOW and lending your body a hand.
Criticism includes dehydration, muscle breakdown, nutrient deficiencies, weight GAIN, loss of intestinal bacteria (the good kind), and the simple idea that such toxins don’t exist. I can only say that common sense tells you to drink water when thirsty (besides, what‘s a detox program without one of the best detoxifiers?), eat a healthy diet with protein and amino acids for muscle and achieving your nutrition goals, and sticking to a health fitness plan to avoid gaining all the weight you will lose once you try a detox diet. Remember, a health plan is something you stick to, FOREVER, or else…you’ll end up like the people who didn’t stick to their health goals, who have to remain nameless. And you know that’s a bad thing. With the intestinal bacteria loss, no worries they will come back. Besides, aren’t there pills and yogurts that provide those guys for you? So try to detoxify your body today, I ensure you with a good amount of knowledge, a healthy dose of common sense and a good plan, there’s nothing to lose….well except the toxins attacking your insides, a few pounds, your low self-esteem, some loose clothes, a few bills for new and more fitting clothes, days being late to work, feelings of laziness, sicknesses, addictions, cravings, and the time you’ve spent on that chair all day long. But besides that, there’s nothing to lose.
