Of all the benefits of a detox program and healthy lifestyle, achieve and maintain anideal weight, is usually a priority in the list of people. Weight gain is due to many factors,two of which are a combination of inadequate food toxins.

Both make conditions such as insulin resistance, in this, the cells become desensitizedto insulin, leaving transport sugar (glucose) from the blood into cells. Insulin is a hormonesecreted by the pancreas in response to food intake, its basic function is to extractglucose from the blood to cells, where it will be used as an energy source. When there isexcess blood glucose, insulin levels remain high.

Although a correct amount of insulin is essentially a high level of this chronically, causesfat storage and a constant inflammatory state. A change in eating style, physical activityand hydration, as well as proper disposal, you get a balance of blood glucose,normalize insulin levels, lower inflammation and reduce fat accumulation.

For example, a diet to detoxify the liver, more specifically, the goal involves retrieving acorrect metabolism that can properly process sugars and fats. The accumulation of toxins in our environment and those generated in our body contributes to obesity.Eliminate toxins and enhance the natural disposal systems are a critical component forlong-term weight loss and enjoy a healthy metabolism.

Previously it was believed that the resting metabolic rate, decreased with weight loss due to reduced caloric intake, although this is true, several clinical studies now show thatone of the first things that make toxins to be released from fat cells is in fact lower theresting metabolic rate. This means that if you can reduce your exposure to toxins while facilitating their removal, you maintain a healthy metabolism.

The toxic burden hinders the efficiency of the system used up to 20% fat! As forhormones, toxins stored in fat cells may prevent received signals that tell our brain thatwe are satisfied and we can stop eating. Contrary to popular belief, fat cells are notdormant; really our body fat volume may amount to an endocrine organ, since it can be much greater than our hormonal and regulatory bodies: the pituitary, adrenal glands,thyroid and sexual.

Fat produces many compounds, enzymes, hormones, chemical transmitters, which tellthe body what to do, which in turn affects how we feel, in the metabolism and speed.Many of these molecules, including estrogen, cortisol and leptin may promote increasedfat accumulation. For example the enzyme aromatase in the fat, converts testosterone into estrogen, andthis promotes the accumulation of fat. Cortisol, at a high rate promotes increased bloodglucose, and blocks the conversion of T4 thyroid hormone into T3. Triiodothyronine (T3) is a biologically active hormone secreted by the thyroid that reaches the cell nucleus and influences the production of  proteins  to  mitochondria (which are like power generators incells.)  So a low T3, equivalent to a low energy, slow metabolism and more potential for fataccumulation. In this way you do  the  fat  is  continuously indicate the body to manufacturemore fat cells and store more energy as fat. In this process, toxins are also stored in fat, which  promotes  increased  fat  accumulation and thus forming a vicious circle. Thus, the toxins interfere with the transmission of messages that need to receive to maintain a good ratio fat / muscle. There are other factors contributing to this chaos in the transmission, and the fact that a large part of the world population suffers from sleep deprivation (and bad), take excess refined sugars that keep us artificially energized, thisexacerbates the imbalance have in the body.

The formula for success in recovering your ideal weight:

1. Perform proper cleaning of your body

2. Decrease possible toxins in the environment

3. Adopt a lifestyle that cares and stimulate your natural detoxification systems (diet,supplementation, stress management)

4. And do not forget, put to work our body, energizing physical activity and sport.

As applied these principles in your life? Later we will discover and analyze practicalways to do it. Remember that simple solutions implemented, progressive and practical,conquer difficulties and recover all your vitality, wellness and health.
