Move Away, Juicing! This Latest Detox Will Cleanse Your Body The Healthy Way
We are two months into 2019 and those “new year, new you” pressures are mounting. You look around and it seems like every last person is hopping onto some sort of fad diet plan. Sure, it's normal to want to embark on a health journey, especially after the splurge-heavy Chinese New Year festivities. And, detox plans may seem like the way to go.
In recent years, a myriad of ‘detoxification’ regimens has flooded the market. Take juice cleanses as an example. The juicing trend became a worldwide phenomenon and it propagated on social media thanks to celebrities and influencers.
By design, juice cleanses limit your caloric intake, which in turn may cause you to shed some pounds. But it does not make them healthy. When we juice, we eradicate all of the fibre from the fruits and vegetables, thus leaving the sugar behind. This means it's time to ditch the juice cleanse.
Despite the negative aspect of juice cleanses, detoxification isn't a process one should ignore. No, it's not a quick fix that will promote rapid weight loss. Instead, it’s about a gradual and sustainable process that will help you lead a healthier lifestyle.
Searching for a suitable wellness programme that will detox my body the healthy way may seem like a stretch. However, after looking around for detox plans, I decided on Cheryl W Wellness & Weight Management.
Clicking on their website brought me to the world of detoxifying treatments that aim to help you find your best self. Feeling intrigued, I headed down to their Century Square outlet for my very first consultation.
As I stepped into the outlet, I was greeted with a warm welcome and was immediately impressed with the luxurious ambience and interiors. I was quickly assigned to a therapist who sat me down for an extremely detailed consultation as it is the first step to every treatment at Cheryl W.
During my consultation, my therapist did a full body analysis to customise a treatment plan as each person's body requirements are different. My body analysis showed that I did not have any major issues however, my waist-hip percentage was pretty telling of the bloating occurring around the area. To target my areas of concern, my therapist chose the Signature Royal Body Flush Treatment. As the name suggests, this programme focuses on flushing the body of toxins and improving my circulation and metabolism rate, which in turn will quicken the burning of calories.
Once my consultation was done, I was ushered into a private room for my treatment to commence. The very first step of my treatment would see me entering my private steam room to relax in for 10-15 minutes. Called the Aroma Steam Bath, this rejuvenating process is to help me relax my body and open up the pores to allow better absorption of the products. Also, my therapist added Detox and Thermogen oils into my Aroma Steam Bath to help burn fats and improve blood circulation.
What followed after was a customised Sea Salt Body Scrub with a lymphatic massage. This Sea Salt Body Scrub aims to remove water retention and toxins while improving blood circulation, while the lymphatic massage was to help my lymph nodes drain out all the nasty toxins from my body. Once the scrub was over, I noticed a significant difference in my skin! My skin was definitely a lot brighter and smoother.
Lastly, my treatment ended off with a thirty-minute session of Thermal Heat Therapy. I was wrapped in a thermal blanket that would help to raise the heart rate to burn more calories. Could you believe that the final step of my treatment helps to burn 300 calories and is equivalent to an hour of working out? And the best part is, I was lying down, tucked comfortably in my thermal blanket.
30 minutes soon flew by and I was allowed to cool down and take a shower. With my private room, I had my own shower that was fully equipped with a makeup cleanser, a toner and a hairdryer!
At last, my treatment came to an end and my therapist led me back to the consultation room where I had my final body analysis. She offered me a cup of Cheryl W's Dark Plum Natural Cleanse Drink from the Flush range. This unassumingly tasty drink clears out the digestive system and eases water retention to aid along the weight loss process naturally.
Now, with my body composition analysis, I am aware that I do lean towards a slimmer, kind-of underweight physique. Which begets the question, do I really need this treatment? With age, certain areas of our bodies may encounter some difficulty when dealing with bloating and my body analysis shows just that. Therefore, undergoing this wellness programme was definitely the right choice to target that as well as to maintain my current physique and retain the age of my body.
So, it's post-CNY and you're feeling guilty after bingeing on those festive goodies. Well, it's a great time to detox! If you would like to know more about the treatments available at Cheryl W Wellness & Weight Management, click here to embark on your detox journey! What are you waiting for?
