As we live our lives, eat processed foods, and come into contact with many different chemicals, toxins can build up in our systems that impact our overall health. Given that our bodies function as a complete system, these build-ups can start to affect the functioning of many organs if left untreated. Detoxification can be a simple and healthy way to cleanse the body of any lingering toxins and get you to a healthier equilibrium. This cleansing, in addition to helping many other aspects of your health, can promote your heart health and help you to live a longer, healthier, happier life. Dr. Druz, a cardiologist on Long Island at Integrative Cardiology Center of Long Island, will help you to work detoxification into your life.

There are many ways to cleanse your body of toxins: sweating, eating clean foods, and disposing of toxic waste through urine and feces all serve to rid our body of toxins. However, detox often is a controversial topic, as at times patients resort to unproven and potentially dangerous ways to detox.

At the Integrative Cardiology PLLC, Dr. Druz uses her deep knowledge of functional medicine, and clinical experience to safely and effectively promote whole body detox. Essential components of this process can include:

  • Elimination diet with lots of colorful organic vegetables and low-glycemic index fruits, loaded with antioxidants
  • Clean, plant-based, multi-purpose protein shakes loaded with nutrition, vitamins, and minerals
  • Breathing exercises, and training to lessen stress impact through mindfulness and HeartMath
  • Promotion of bowel regularity
  • Exercise to sweat out toxins
  • Intermittent Fasting
  • Infrared sauna for sweating out toxins

This is how one of our patients recently reflected on her detox process:

“I had acupuncture today and the benefits were more intense and beneficial than I have ever had and I have been going for a couple of years! This was the first time since my elimination and cardiometabolic food plans.The clean organic food, no processed foods, wild salmon, sardines, mackerel, fresh vegetables, fruits lifestyle change has been an amazing new lifestyle that I will maintain for life”

Detox, when done properly, can improve upon many chronic diseases, increase your longevity and vitality, and improve your heart health.
