Detox to lose weight quickly
Detox for lose weight quickly is a common goal for many people. Detox is a natural process in the body that rids us of toxins. And by eliminating toxins from the body, it contributes to weight loss.
In this article, we interview the naturopath Nicolas Guidoux , specialized in iridology and also certified Heilpraktiker by the CERS-TA. Member of the Professional Union of Naturopathy, the latter delivers to us all the benefits of derivative bath and detoxification on weight loss.
Why is it said that practicing derivative baths allows you to detox and lose weight quickly?
Nicolas : In a detox, there are different phases. The first two, without going into technical and biochemical details, transform fat-soluble waste into water-soluble waste to be easily eliminated.
Once this is done, there is a third phase, which is elimination. The cold causes a narrowing of the blood vessels (vasoconstriction) in the periphery, and a vasodilation of the deep organs.
This phenomenon of superficial vasoconstriction and deep vasodilation leads to a concentration of humors, that is to say, body fluids (blood, lymph, intra- and extra-cellular fluids) towards the internal organs, notably the intestines and the kidneys. These two organs are the major organs of elimination of the organism. The more blood circulates within your organs, the more they eliminate, and the more you cleanse yourself.
Does detox help you lose weight quickly?
Nicolas : “The derivative bath allows, in fact, to lose weight , and this through different mechanisms:
- A A clogged, waste-filled area can hinder weight loss. Participating in detoxifying the body will facilitate this process.
- Then, the cold has remarkable anti-inflammatory properties . A chronic inflammatory state disrupts all the body's functions, and blocks weight loss.
- In addition, the cold acts directly on the fatty tissue by evacuating white fats (the bad ones) , thick, source of excess weight which are found directly under the skin. Conversely, good fats, brown ones are essential to promote the functioning of our organism: they give energy to our body, regulate hunger and satiety, synthesize hormones, neuro transmitters, etc.
The cold will transform the white fat into brown fat which will reduce the risk of weight gain .
- Exposure to cold also leads to an increase in the combustion of glucose, that is to say its use by our cells.
- It is worth pointing out here that if we have excess sugar, this excess will be stored in our cells in the form of fat. And yes... Sugar makes you fatter than fat! Increasing its combustion therefore prevents it from being stored too much.”
How should you practice to do a good detox?
Nicolas : “I advise to Start slowly , especially if it's your first time using Maholi bags. 10 minutes a day at first, while being active. For example, gardening, vacuuming, shopping, etc.
The movement also allows us to promote the good circulation of our humors , which will be potentiated by the cold.”
Are there any other beneficial effects?
Nicolas : “This phenomenon of superficial vasoconstriction and deep vasodilation of the internal organs leads to decongestion of the prostate (useful in cases of prostatitis, prostate adenoma) of the small pelvis (period pain, endometriosis, PMS).
This decongestion of the lower abdomen and genitals will be very useful in case of loss of libido, sexual disorders or to boost fertility . Through this vasoconstriction, we observe a better venous return, which is very beneficial for people with heavy legs or poor blood circulation. By the freshness , we obtain a regulation of body temperature, the cold at the perineum level is very effective for reduce a fever during an infection. We also observe improved cognitive functions: better concentration and memorization, more motivation, a state of general well-being .
Brown fat, mentioned above, contributes to the development of metabolic diseases. According to Dr. Gérald Kierzek, “ Cold helps burn fat and reduce the risk of diabetes.”
Finally, it is a great technique for all tired, exhausted people because the cold re-energizes . It’s a remarkable revitalizer.”
Can I use other natural solutions to optimize my detox?
Nicolas : “An organ is fundamental for a good detox , it is the liver , and the liver looooves heat. We can then use another technique using water, hot this time, the hot water bottle ! Positioned on the liver, in particular at mealtimes will optimize the work of the latter. In addition to facilitating digestion and providing a comforting moment, the hot water bottle on the liver will potentiate the detox processes. To potentiate the detox processes, it is imperative to adopt a healthy lifestyle :
- The diet should be healthy , based on raw, non-industrial, seasonal products, if possible organic. Cooked and raw vegetables should always be present on the plate, an animal or vegetable protein, and, to be adapted according to the case, a small portion of starchy foods.
- Practice Regular physical activity , such as walking, is fundamental for a good detox because it facilitates the circulation of humors and stimulates the body's evacuation pathways, such as the intestines and kidneys already mentioned, but also the skin and lungs.
- Finally, rest is recommended to accompany a detox. Being in good conditions is essential, ideally when you are on vacation, and with as little stress as possible.
However, a detox is not trivial, it is better to contact a trained healthcare professional to receive good support .”
