For some, fitness is a year-round commitment. For others, getting in shape is a sporadic exercise.
And for those who didn’t ditch New Year’s weight-loss resolutions entirely, it’s never too late to re-dedicate, hit the gym, and tone the body.
Even more important, though, is what we put in our bodies. What we eat and drink not only impacts how we look, but how we feel and how healthy we actually are.
And to properly set the tone for the inner body and good overall health, it’s vital to get the bad stuff – toxins – out, and keep them out, says Dr. Suhyun An, an expert on regenerative medicine and co-author of Demystifying Stem Cells: A Real-Life Approach To Regenerative Medicine.
“People may want to look good,” says Dr. An, “but being truly healthy on the inside is a year-round commitment, and you need to start by detoxifying the body.”
“Toxins can severely affect every part of the body. They’re in tons of every-day products. Being aware of them and avoiding them are essential to good health.”
Dr. An can discuss for your listeners how to detoxify their bodies and what products are toxic.
