There's a quote from American doctor Charles Mayo that we love and which strongly supports the motto of Vitalica Wellness's existence:
"Germs are outside; it's the diminishing inner resistance we should fear."
With this perspective in mind, why might our inner resistance, or immune system, weaken? Primarily due to toxins accumulating in our bodies for various reasons. If you haven't read our article about toxins yet, you can click here to find detailed information. Detoxification can be defined as the process of purifying and repairing the body from toxins.
Essentially, there are two main reasons why toxins can accumulate in our bodies: unhealthy eating habits, exposure to environmental factors with unnatural levels of pollution, and unhealthy personal habits all contribute to an increase in toxins in our bodies. For example, smoking, alcohol, drugs or stimulants, and the stressful, hyperactive modern lifestyle can all lead to increased toxin levels, especially due to the irregularity of the autonomic nervous system, which loses its health due to excessive stress and fatigue.
Thanks to the developing wellness industry and well-being understanding worldwide in recent years, we're fortunate to have access to quick and effective methods of purification in professional wellness centers. Moreover, we can even view these processes not just as cleansing but also as repairing our bodies.
We've talked many times about detoxification processes, applications, and benefits. Surprisingly, we haven't talked about the closest supporter of detox, which is retox! Yet, for every guest who completes the detox process at Vitalica Wellness, we share guidance on how they should evaluate the retox process and even how to incorporate retox into their lifestyle during their final consultations.
After the purification period, the process of recontamination by toxins to the body begins through exposure to certain doses of toxins. We refer to this process as retox, which encompasses all the new habits created to minimize toxin buildup and maximize the expulsion of toxins from the body. Achieving the desired state of well-being, which involves eating, enjoying life, and, most importantly, being happy, is possible by establishing a regular detox and retox routine as a lifestyle.
American doctor John Tilden said in his book "Toxemia," "Toxins are as necessary and immutable a byproduct of life as life itself. The body produces them when it functions normally and expels them at the rate they are produced." And it has been proven in recent years that many diseases arise due to blood poisoning and increased toxins in the body. The first rule to get rid of diseases or never to catch them in the first place is to experience the detox process twice a year regularly and then turn retox into a lifestyle.
We highly recommend experiencing this detox process at a professional detox center such as a wellness center.
Especially for a healthy detox process and a retox lifestyle, the most crucial element is a balanced and healthy functioning autonomic nervous system. It is the autonomic nervous system that controls all the important functions of life, containing two different sections that work opposite each other. The first section is called the sympathetic branch, also known as the fight or flight response. This nervous system operates actively when facing intense stress or psychological violence, situations requiring physical exertion, or when experiencing an emotional impasse, or struggling to cope with a challenging task. The other section of the autonomic nervous system is called the parasympathetic branch. It manages our immune system, oversees the body's automatic detox and cleansing processes, and ensures the healthy functioning of the excretory system. We can also call this branch the rest and digest system.
While achieving balanced functioning of our autonomic nervous system may seem challenging given the conditions of our current lives, believe me, it's not that difficult to achieve this balance. The first key to this is self-worth, which means being able to provide proper care for yourself.
As the Vitalica Wellness team, we've mentioned the importance of the detox period for retox in our article. By choosing one of our 7 different programs that suit you and completing your purification with our supportive applications twice a year for a minimum of 7 days each, you can start your detox process. During the retox period, for your physical health, our first and most important recommendation is to maintain a balanced diet. In addition, to keep your parasympathetic nervous system in balance, our most important advice is to include meditation and breathing exercises in your daily routine.
To strengthen your immune system, we're here to support you during your retox process with IV applications, ozone saunas, and our Angel Of Water application for intestinal cleansing, which is our second brain.
See you soon!
