The start of a new year is often the perfect time to do something good for your body after the holidays. Topics such as "detox" and "purification" are on everyone's lips - but what is actually behind them? How do the body's natural detoxification processes work, and which aids can support these processes in a meaningful way?
In this article we explain what detox really means, why a balanced acid-base balance is important and how natural products from HELFE can help to relieve the body in a gentle way.
What does detox actually mean?
Our body has its own detoxification system that eliminates harmful substances and metabolic waste through organs such as the liver , kidneys , intestines and skin . These processes take place around the clock - often unnoticed. But factors such as stress , unbalanced diet and environmental influences can put a strain on these natural processes .
This is where a detox routine comes in: it helps the body to regain balance and promote detoxification processes. The aim is not to "cleanse" the body, but to help it find its natural rhythm again.
Why the acid-base balance is important
A central aspect of detox is the acid-base balance . If the body is too acidic, symptoms such as tiredness , skin problems , brittle nails or muscle tension can appear. A conscious diet, nutritional supplements and targeted care products can help to bring the acid-base balance back into balance.
