Detox 10 Day Program 5 Organ Care Pack + FREE support Blackmores
Blackmores 10 Day Detox Program is designed to help you improve the functioning of your digestive system and help your body eliminate waste more effectively. It is based on the naturopathic belief that health problems may be caused by the digestive system not working efficiently.
The Program works in five ways:
- Helping the entire digestive system function as it was designed to
- Assisting sluggish liver function
- Helping to maintain optimum levels of friendly bacteria in the intestines
- Gently helping cleanse the bowel
- Assisting removal of dead skin cells and stimulating blood flow to the skin surface
Unlike many programs it targets five major organs, and only requires a 10 day commitment, making it easier to successfully complete
It includes round-the-clock support from Blackmores Health Experts with tips, advice and motivation to help you stay on course and treat your body to a fresh start.
The body has many complex ways of eliminating toxic wastes. Without these we could not survive. Put simply, the processes of digestion and elimination involve the following organs:
- The stomach churns and mixes the food with gastric juices that break down food and kill bacteria. The stomach then releases a small amount of food at a time into the small intestine.
- The small intestine mixes broken down food with digestive juices and bile. It then finishes the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The small intestine absorbs around 90% of all nutrients.
- The large intestine (colon) absorbs water and vitamins and minerals and contains most of the gastrointestinal microflora. The final part of the large intestine, the rectum, is like a rubbish bin and temporarily holds waste until it is ready to be emptied. If waste matter is left in the ‘storage area’ for too long, too much water can be reabsorbed, resulting in constipation.
- The liver has many functions, but one of the most important is to filter your blood. It filters out toxic substances in the blood before it returns to general circulation. It also produces bile, which helps break down fats in the intestines.
- The skin is the largest organ of the body. The sweat glands of the skin allow toxins to escape as we perspire.
