Dr. Susan Smith Jones explains that the body is made up of 70 trillion cells each cell is constantly in the process of dying and being replaced and each cell is constantly receiving nutrition and also expels waste and toxins which must be eliminated from the body in a timely manner. When cells are deficient in nutrients or are overpowered with toxins and waste, then cellular malfunction begins and our health declines. When the body is taxed with toxicity then you will be tired and have low immune function. When the body is clean it can absorb the essential nutrients so that it can heal and repair and maintain excellent health.
The Lymphatic System
You have lymph nodes in the groin, armpits, neck and throughout the abdomen surrounding the intestines. The over 600 lymph nodes in the body act as filters. The lymph nodes prefilter, screen out bacteria, viruses, and organic debris to prevent clogging and overloading the liver. Lymph flows upward against gravity, so inversions help lymph drainage. A large portion of the lymphatic system resides in the intestines - so twists to stimulate the digestive system are important.
The Digestive System
When stool doesn't move through the intestines easily and relatively quickly, waste products accumulate and clog the bowel, which irritates the delicate lining of the large intestine, allowing waste products and other toxins to be reabsorbed into the blood stream. Waste remaining in contact with the intestinal wall for an abnormally long period of time can cause chronic inflammation and other serious complications. The colon is the body's most important toxin disposal system. To keep the colon functioning properly it is essential to eat fresh food high in fiber and drink pure water to prevent constipation.
The Kidneys
The kidneys are to the side of the spine, just above your waist line on your back. The kidneys filter and excrete waste from the body as urine. To promote the flow of toxins through the kidneys requires adequate fluid intake. Also the kidney regulates blood pressure.
Yoga Detox stimulates your body's natural ability and intelligent capacity to cleanse itself from health threatening toxic substances. The practices in this video boost the body's biological detoxification processes by stimulating the lymphatic system and digestive system as well as the liver, lungs, and kidneys. Yoga for the digestive system will improve elimination as well as move mucous up and out of the body. This video is designed to strengthen body's systems of detoxification to cleanse accumulated waste. Yoga Detox will provide increased immune function, slowing of aging, increased energy and clarity of thought.
