Today, we are going to talk about inflammation and pain, what it entails, and how to address it in a natural and effective way. Discover how to detox yourself to reduce pain and inflammation.
Firstly, we must understand that inflammation is a normal body response when there is a wound, injury, infection, or illness. Inflammation occurs when the body produces chemicals that trigger an immune response to fight infection or heal damaged tissue.
We can distinguish between acute inflammation (caused by a wound, injury, infection, or illness) and chronic (silent) inflammation, which occurs when it persists over time, becoming destructive. Silent inflammation refers to imperceptible inflammation of an organ or tissue in response to chronic imbalance.
Reasons why Silent Inflammation Occurs
- Because of an acidic lifestyle that promotes low-grade acidosis.
- Because of an inflammatory, pro-acidic diet containing arachidonic acid, which is found primarily in all meats, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy. Consuming sugars, refined carbohydrates and gluten will also have a significant impact.
- Food toxins within processed foods that contain artificial colourings, preservatives, and artificial flavorings, found in potato chips (trans fats), cola drinks, light sauces, etc.
- Long term use of certain medications.
- Regular consumption of acidic and deionized water, such as tap water containing chlorine and other harmful chemicals.
- Body filters like liver and colon full of toxins, and in blood too.
- Long term use of chemicals in personal hygiene and household cleaning products.
- Living with chronic stress, anxiety, and distress that continually activates catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol).
Performing a Detox to fight against Inflammation
We must alkalize and detoxify our body through an alkaline lifestyle in the following way:
Alkaline Diet
A highly alkaline, anti-inflammatory plant based diet rich in seasonal vegetables, greens, and fresh fruits. Did you know that leafy green vegetables are loaded with chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, and are highly detoxifying and anti-inflammatory? Include a wonderful green juice in your daily routine; you will feel how satisfying, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and delicious it is.
Add turmeric and black pepper to your dishes, as turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory remedy with a very aromatic flavor. You can prepare delicious teas with turmeric or the famous “turmeric latte” (golden milk).
The alkaline diet is designed not only to help fight against low-grade acidosis but also to provide the necessary nutrients for all your cells.
Detoxification
It is essential to cleanse your organs (liver and colon) and your blood at least twice a year. The liver is the body’s largest filter and laboratory, it not only removes toxins from the blood but also produces hormones, among other functions. A clean liver helps keep inflammation at bay. For this purpose, you can use Hephatic Care, which is simple and easy to take. To get rid of heavy metals, unwanted bacteria, and fungi that cause inflammation and pain, take liquid chlorophyll daily; you will notice the difference. Chlorophyll alkalizes, delivers oxigen, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Detox yourself to reduce inflammation!
Against Muscle Pain
If you also have muscle and joint pain or suffer from arthritis/osteoarthritis, I recommend trying MSM. MSM is an extraordinary mineral rich in organic sulfur, which not only regenerates the skin but also helps reduce inflammation, pain, and detoxifies the liver.
Stress Management
Finally, learning how to manage stress is crucial to achieve happiness and overall well-being, both physically and mentally. A relaxed and serene person is less likely to experience inflammation. How can you achieve this? By getting enough sleep, as sleep allows you to regenerate, reduce inflammation, and boost your metabolism.
Ashwagandha is a natural energizing supplement that can also help manage stress, it provides energy on the one hand and helps stay focused and concentrated on the other.
Daily Exercise
Engage in regular exercise. Try to spend as much time as possible in nature and in the sun, as it promotes well-being and the release of endorphins. Include concious breathing techniques, practice yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, and emotional healing to put the final touch on your wellness routine.
If you follow all these steps and put this lifestyle into practice, you will notice a significant improvement.
