healthy food

If you’ve ever visited Jacksonville Health and Wellness Center, then you know nutrition is one of the major aspects of wellness that we advocate for our clients in need of a detox. While the term detox may evoke images of substance abuse, that is not the only type of detox that people may need.

Different Reasons Why Someone May Need A System Cleanse

The process of detoxification involves ridding the body of toxins. Toxins are anything the physical body interprets as poisonous and different things can cause toxic buildup, including the following.

Drugs and Alcohol

These are the most obvious sources of toxins that can harm a person’s health. Many people may associate detox with these substances.

Prescribed Medications

Prescribed medications are often necessary for someone to heal, stabilize their health, or even survive. However, certain types of medication may build up in the body, resulting in residual toxic buildup. Oftentimes, a medical professional will routinely assess an individual’s vitals and blood levels to make sure unnecessary damage isn’t being done. It is still one of the reasons a person might seek out a detox procedure.

Environmental Elements

Sometimes, it’s as easy as breathing air to take in toxins. Globally, more than 12 million people are mortally impacted by environmental toxins.

Poor Nutrition

Poor nutrition contributes to bad health conditions and diseases. The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that poor diets can lead to obesity, heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes. Detox and nutritional counseling can be invaluable methods to help cleanse the body, and educate a person about the toxins that innutritious diets can leave behind.

How Nutritional Counseling Works

Nutritional counseling helps educate people about how to create and maintain healthier diets. One of the best ways to reduce toxins is to avoid them. A better diet is a great way to improve health — and reduce the need for future detox.
