Detox and training: the basis for a successful aesthetic treatment

Discover how detox and physical activity enhance the results of aesthetic medicine.

For some time now, we've frequently heard the recommendation to do a "detox for a healthy life," which is very pertinent in this modern world filled with additives, hormones, and pollution in various forms.

But questions arise such as:

• Are we really contaminated?
• What part of my body can you show me?
• How can I avoid getting toxins when everything—food, medicine, technology—seems to contain them?
• Does this affect my daily performance?
• And if so… is there anything I can do to detox?

These concerns are common both in society and in medical practices. And the answer is clear and encouraging: Yes, yes we can do something about it.

Health and well-being: the true goal of every aesthetic treatment

It has been proven that our bodies function better when they are free of toxins, well hydrated, and nourished with foods that are as natural as possible.

In the field of aesthetic medicine, the optimal functioning of the organic system is essentialWe all want to look healthy, radiant, and well-groomed. To achieve this, maintaining a balanced metabolism, lymphatic drainage, and waste excretion are key to achieving visible physical and mental changes.

The four pillars of success: nutrition, exercise, medication, and stress management

1. Natural and conscious nutrition

A healthy, natural diet is our first great tool. The more organic and less processed it is, the better the results.

Basic recommendations for effective nutrition:

• Don't skip meals, including snacks, to keep insulin levels stable.
• Hydrate yourself properlyIn hot climates, 8 to 10 glasses of water daily are recommended.
• Eat fruits and vegetables at least four times a day, always guided by a professional who will indicate which are the most convenient.
• Maintain proper proportions of macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins and healthy fats.
• Avoid common toxins such as excessive alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugar, trans fats and chemical additives.

The ideal treatment isn't the one that makes you lose weight the fastest, but the one that aligns you metabolically so that nutrition is your ally, not your enemy.

2. Scheduled physical activity

Extreme sacrifices are not necessary to see results. Just three and a half hours of exercise a week, as recommended by the WHO, we can obtain great benefits.

Pillars of efficient training:

• Variety: avoid monotony to prevent stagnation.
• Progression: Set clear and achievable goals weekly.
• Density: Plan your routines according to the type of activity (strength, coordination, cardio).
• Specificity: Define personal goals and focus on them.
• Volume: Adjust the intensity and complexity of your workout based on your physical condition.

3. Natural and biological medicinal aids

A good detox requires the use of medications that do not saturate the extracellular matrix, that space between cells that was ignored for years, but that we now know is key in any aesthetic or medical treatment.

Hormones, nutrients, and other elements are transported in this space, but toxins also accumulate as a result of bad habits.

Therefore, to achieve healthy skin, good circulation and an efficient lymphatic systemIt is recommended to stimulate the body's cleansing process with biological medications, preferably of natural origin. In our approach, we use molecular antihomotoxic medicine administered orally, intramuscularly, or subdermally (homeosiniatrics).

4. Stress management: the silent enemy of your health and aesthetics

Stress is the cause of many physical ailments, and it also affects our appearance. Chronic elevations of cortisol and catecholamines negatively impact organs such as the heart, digestive system, skin, hair, muscles, and nervous system.

What good is the best aesthetic treatment if the body is constantly on alert?

In pathologies such as cellulite, muscle flaccidity and weight gain due to anxiety, Stress management plays a decisive role.

Fortunately, there are alternatives such as yoga, tai chi, lymphatic drainage, acupressure, and reflexology, which, when applied correctly, have very positive effects.
