When Is It Time to Detox?

The human body is remarkably resilient, capable of managing a constant stream of internal and external toxins. Yet even the most efficient system needs an occasional reset. Are you noticing persistent warning signs — ongoing fatigue, frequent headaches, irregular bowel movements, or that all-too-familiar feeling of being bloated and sluggish?

While these symptoms can occur from time to time, if they are becoming a regular part of your life, it may well be time to give your body the thorough detox it deserves.

A detox is not a miracle cure, but it is a well-established approach to supporting better health. By giving your digestive system a genuine rest, a detox can help ease uncomfortable symptoms and set your body on a more sustainable path to recovery. Your body deserves the very best care you can give it.

Why should we detox?

One of the primary reasons to detox is to help clear the body of toxins accumulated from both internal and external sources. Our bodies are exposed to toxins in more ways than we might realise. For example:

We inhale toxins through the air we breathe
We absorb toxins through our skin
We swallow them in our food and water
We suffer toxins from incomplete digestion

A well-structured detox programme helps flush out these impurities, supporting the elimination of stored waste and built-up toxins. Many people find that after completing a detox they feel lighter, more energised, and better able to focus throughout the day.

How to start a detox?

If you are considering a detox, it is wise to prepare yourself both mentally and physically before you begin. Start with your diet — reduce sugary and carbonated drinks, replacing them with plenty of water. Introduce more fresh fruits and vegetables, cut back on unhealthy fats, and avoid alcohol where possible. If regular exercise is not yet part of your routine, begin gently; even thirty minutes of movement each day can make a meaningful difference to how you feel. Take time to reflect on your goals and what you hope to achieve, and remember that your mind and spirit may benefit from the process just as much as your body.

Detoxing at Santosa Detox & Wellness Center

Once you have taken those important first steps, seeking the support of a dedicated detox centre can make all the difference.

Reduce Inflammation in the Body with Food and Exercise

Apr 30, 2018 | Detox & Wellness

Santosa Detox Wellness Spa Phuket Women Hurts Wrist Inflammation

Do you live a healthy life? We all know that eating the right foods and getting plenty of exercise is good for our health, but did you know that this lifestyle does more than lower your cholesterol and help you lose weight? In fact, healthy food and regular exercise can help ward off diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s by reducing inflammation. Chronic inflammation is an autoimmune disorder that attacks normal, healthy tissue. Generally, it mistakes the tissue for a pathogen that causes disease. Chronic inflammation puts our bodies on high alert all of the time and can have lasting damage to our hearts, brains and other vital organs. So many major diseases – depression, diabetes, arthritis – have been linked to chronic inflammation.

Have you ever experienced any type of inflammation in your body? If yes, you know that it can be quite unpleasant and uncomfortable. However, there are ways to combat chronic inflammation, and some of the best remedies include fueling your body with good food and lots of exercise.

Foods that Fight Inflammation

A good way to fight inflammation is by taking a trip to the grocery store or fresh market. Many foods and beverages have anti-inflammatory properties, it is just a matter of knowing which ones to choose. If you are looking to reduce the risk of inflammation in your body, it is best to choose healthy foods. Good examples of these include leafy green vegetables, nuts such as almonds or walnuts, olive oil, tomatoes, and fruits such as oranges, strawberries, blueberries and cherries. If you do eat meat, make sure to stick to fatty fish varieties such as salmon, mackerel and tuna.

Avoid refined carbohydrates and red meat whenever possible. French fries and other friend foods as well as margarine and soft drinks should also be avoided. Try to maintain a healthy, balanced diet whenever possible to avoid weight gain, as this is also another factor that contributes to inflammation.

The Exercise Component

Exercise is good for the body, and it is recommended that we exercise at least 30 minutes five times per week. For those who suffer from chronic inflammation, exercise is known to reduce inflammatory markers. Go for a brisk walk, ride an exercise bike or join a cardio class such as HIIT. Strength-Training that works all of the muscle groups is also good, and should be practiced at least two times per week.

Exercise has been found to produce an anti-inflammatory cellular response which, in turn, highlights the benefits of physical activity. Not only does exercise reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, it also strengthens the heart, muscles and bones. Exercise leaves us feeling refreshed, which is particularly important for those suffering from chronic inflammation.

Fighting Inflammation at Santosa Detox & Wellness Center

If you suffer from chronic inflammation and would like to empower yourself with the tools needed to combat it, come and see us at Santosa. Located on tropical Phuket, an island in southern Thailand, our detox retreat is surrounded by nature and the perfect place to unwind, relax and reboot.

Celebrate Songkran at Santosa

Apr 9, 2018 | Santosa Event

Santosa Detox Wellness Spa Phuket Young Celebrating Songkran

Songkran is a super fun event on the annual calendar in Thailand. Known as the Thai New Year, Songkran is deep-rooted in tradition and culture. The festival lasts for three days, but it truly is a mass celebration across Thailand. This year, Songkran takes places from the 13th to 15th of April and is sure to be a wonderful time.

Songkran has to be seen to be believed. Not only is it a traditional Thai festival, it’s also the largest water festival in the country. As April is the hottest month, the water feels cool and refreshing. Kata Beach is Santosa’s local beach and is sure to have many fun activities during the Songkran Festival such as a mass water fight, music and traditional ceremonies.

As Songkran signifies the Thai New Year and a new year often means a new start, perhaps this Thai festival can also be the perfect time to reevaluate your health or put new passion into the fitness goals you started at the beginning of 2018. Once you have had a chance to take part in the festivities, why not take the time to treat yourself?

Pamper Yourself During Songkran

Let Songkran be the time where you restart your “New Year, New You” mentality and take advantage of all that Santosa has to offer. Are you short on time? If you only have a day or two to look after yourself, why not take part in one of our well-rounded One Day Program options? The One Day Detox, One Day Relax and Spring Clean programs are loaded with health & wellness activities and give a real snapshot into what some of the longer programs at our detox retreat are like to experience.

During Songkran, if you have a longer break and are looking to kickstart your health into high gear, check out some of our multiple day detox programs which include the Emotional Detox Program, Full Fast, Raw Food Fast, Active Cleanse, Healthy Eating Program and the Yoga & SPA Retreat. These programs are all professional and tailored to individual needs and goals.

In the event that you are just looking for a place to relax during Songkran, perhaps in between the festivities, you are always welcome to join one of the Santosa fitness classes or enjoy a fresh fruit juice or smoothie at our Juice Bar. If you are feeling hungry and looking for a nourishing meal to provide you with energy to continue the water play, drop into Santosa Vegan Restaurant for a delicious, healthy plant-based meal. Our vegan cuisine is quite unique and you will be amazed at how sophisticated the dishes are while remaining in a completely affordable price range.
