In today’s world, toxins surround us – they are in the air we breathe, the things we drink, the food we eat – as well as in our homes, businesses, and cars. Our bodies were only designed to handle so many of these toxins and when that limit is reached, the excess toxins start to affect our health.
Because we are constantly being bombarded with toxins, there are profound health benefits from a properly designed and implemented metabolic detoxification program. However, many of the detox products available are nothing more than a laxative or a low calorie shake, containing insufficient amounts of calories, protein, and nutrients to properly support detoxification while often containing potential allergens such as whey, gluten, corn and soy. They all sound good – feel better, have more energy, clear your mind – but are these products safe and appropriate?
The truth is, detoxification is happening constantly in our bodies (and it needs to!) and therefore should be supported all the time with good lifestyle habits such as a healthy diet, stress management and exercise. Detoxification programs can provide concentrated support and can be of great benefit when done properly.
So what does “detoxification” refer to? The body is constantly filtering everything we take in; from the foods we consume, the hormones we produce, and the exhaust fumes from cars and trucks you follow to work each day. All these chemicals have to be effectively processed, packaged and excreted or waste begins to build up in our system.
When too much waste builds up in our bodies we feel the symptoms; headaches, muscle aches, constipation or diarrhea, mental fog, fatigue, irritability, sensitivities to fragrances or fumes, just to name a few. Toxic build-up has also been implicated in a number of illnesses, from Parkinson’s, diabetes and obesity to certain types of cancer.
Metagenics offers the only FDA evaluated detoxification program – the UltraClear line. It is more than just a “feel good” experience, although feeling good is certainly a beneficial side effect! The outcome from these programs can also be seen through the lens of improved blood chemistries, improved cardiovascular fitness tests, better energy, and improved cognitive and neurological test results. Feel good physically, mentally, emotionally and biochemically! That is the UltraClear difference.
A healthy detoxification program should provide energy and support for overall well-being to get you through your daily activities while also giving your body what it needs to cleanse. The Clear Change Program from Metagenics is that program, and it’s available in either a 10 or 28 day program, allowing you to customize it for your needs.
