Body Detox: One Way To Look At It
I know you’ve been thinking about body detox. Otherwise you wouldn’t have come onto this site, sniffing out information. And my guess is that you’ve come here for a definitive list of what detox systems work, of whether you should go with teas or pre-mixes, or sludge, or simply pay the hundreds of dollars for that colonic you’ve always known you should have gotten but have up until now avoided. Well, my friend: it’s a new day. Healthful living is popularized because health care itself is getting prohibitively more expensive.
Part of the rationalization behind getting detox– one of the central arguments you’ll hear on health and fitness websites, on day-time talk shows, maybe even at the YMCA when you’re taking your kid to a swim class or something– is that these people want to be able to live longer. I don’t know whether that’s really a good thing. This is an over-populated country as it is, and in a certain sense it’s rather selfish for any of us to want to live longer.
Failure to do so will rob those Millenials of their parents. And by “their parents,” my friends, I mean us. Our last-ditch efforts to hold onto the ripple-effects of the sixties and seventies (since we were born in the seventies and eighties) is resulting in higher obesity rates and dramatic increases in health problems like heart disease, lung conditions, hypertension, and diabetes. And the last time I checked, none of us were getting any younger.
That’s absolutely counter-productive to your children’s futures. You should know better.
So while my children’s generation, through the reflection of our generation’s example, are probably safe, it’s us– those of us who are, now, building our families and starting our lives in earnest, who’ve squeezed out the last few drops of hedonism from this ever-increasingly pure society so that those kids could survive without having to, like us, find body detox mixtures at least once per year.
