How Toxins Affect Weight Loss and Health

More and more people are realizing the benefits of detox foot baths for weight loss. Each day your body is in constant contact with toxic elements. Consistent exposure to these toxins in combination with an unhealthy lifestyle and diet lead to your excretory system not performing optimally. Your excretory system, which is made of organs like your skin, liver, lungs, and kidneys, is responsible for eliminating waste. When your excretory system isn’t working at its best, you feel tired and you’re more prone to disease, as your immune system is weakened.

Many people who are struggling with weight problems have slow metabolisms. Your thyroid regulates your metabolic system, and when your body is loaded with toxins, your metabolism grinds to a halt. This means that regardless of your diet and exercise routine, it’s going to be extremely difficult to lose weight. Getting an ionic foot detox clears your system of these harmful toxins, so you lose weight much easier with a proper diet and exercise plan. You’ll find that it’s much easier to make a permanent lifestyle change when you’re actually seeing results quickly and feeling healthier.

How does an Ionic Foot Detox Bath Work?

An ionic foot detox machine helps balance your body’s natural energy system. Through utilizing ionization and osmosis, as well as reflexology concepts, this modern energy therapy device injects a high number of negative ions into the water in the foot bath. This creates a positive cellular environment that allows your body to naturally detoxify itself.

It’s a well-known fact that fully-charged cells efficiently metabolize fat cells. When you receive an ionic foot detox bath, the device fully charges the cells, and this leads to impurities in your body, such as fat, to be released into the water through your feet, as your body naturally rids itself of fats and disease.

A foot detox offers many more benefits, including:

  • Boosting your metabolism.
  • Reviving your body’s ability to burn fat effectively.
  • Ridding your body of toxin-loaded fat cells.
  • Decreasing cellulite.
  • Helping you reach and sustain a healthy body weight.

Blockage and toxic buildup in your pores make it hard for diseases to escape, and they end up circulating throughout your body. Cleansing your body through your feet stabilizes natural energy and balances out natural metals. Ancient Chinese civilizations knew about this idea hundreds of years ago and refer to the concept as “chi.”

Reasons to Use an Ion Foot Detox for Weight Loss

Many people use diet pills for weight loss, and while they often produce results, there are many potential negative side effects. A detox foot bath has no negative side effects, and because it utilizes the mechanical and scientific principle of osmosis, it’s a healthy and natural way to shed weight.

Furthermore, you’ll notice an energy boost, reduced acne, and better-looking skin after a detox foot spa treatment.

Maximize Your Weight Loss from an Ionic Foot Bath

While an ionic foot detox offers many benefits, there are certain things you can do to make the process even better. It’s important to understand that an ionic detox foot treatment helps balance alkaline levels and acids in your body. Make sure you’re avoiding highly acidic foods and tap water. Pick alkaline food items (food with a pH above 7), drink purified water, eat a fair amount of vegetables and fruits, and seek out foods with organic farm labels.

You Can Actually See the Toxins in the Water

Reflexology explains that your feet are the root of your central nervous system. This is why you can feel and see exactly what’s going on inside your body while you’re enjoying an ionic foot detox treatment.

After toxins leave your body through the ionic foot bath, sweating, and by going to the bathroom, your organs become stimulated and energized, which allows them to function optimally. Supporters in the ionic detox industry discovered that the consistency and color of the water may change during a detox treatment. Many people strongly believe that particular colors are connected with various body systems. For a more detailed explanation, see the image below.

Matrix Spa & Massage Customer Reviews

Yowza! I just had one of the best deep tissue massages I've ever had. Rachel was super personable and very expressive/willing to share her knowledge with me during my visit. I even got some stretching tips and I will be back just for her! The building was clean and I was super comfy the whole time. Very relaxing atmosphere, as well. My legs thank you!!

Richard H. is amazing - I’ve been going to him consistently for years now, and he’s officially the best. I love that his massages are very dynamic. He uses multiple methods to understand your body as opposed to just finding a spot and sticking to it. All staff are so professional and friendly, and each experience is so relaxing.

I have been coming to Matrix Spa & Massage for about 5 years now and can always get in quickly. I made an appointment yesterday because I woke up with an extremely sore neck from sleeping wrong which resulted in a massive migraine (that I often suffer from) and I left feeling clear headed and amazing! Frederick Salt provided one of the best massages I have ever received. He took the time to listen to my needs and put real attention and care into his practice. He has a ton of experience in massage therapy and I would recommend him to anyone needing a great massage that’s well worth the money.

This place is interesting and my therapist was definitely unique. He only massaged my upper body and told me to breathe into my collar bone and other instructions that I didn't quite know how to follow. My elbow was sore for a day or two after. I do think he was genuinely trying to help, but I would have liked more explanation of what was the rationale behind the movements and instructions. I also would have preferred to have received some work on the legs, but again 60 minutes sometimes isn't enough time I guess. Other members of group liked there experience more and described there massages very positively. The offer to return gratis by the owners in their comments below is a nice sentiment and a testament to how they care for their business. (Unfortunately I was visiting from out of town so cannot do so but again appreciate it)

Donna May rocked my world - the best massage I've gotten in salt lake so far and I've tried a few different spas at this point. The level of pressure, the intuition, the obvious mastery of her craft - cannot recommend her enough. She is a neck wizard.

Best Massage I have ever had. Donna May provided a relaxing and therapeutic massage. She always had the perfect amount of pressure and seemed to tailor the massage just to me. I will book with Donna May as often as I can. She is also such a kind person.

Well worth it!My wife and I were needing time to unwind and relax, I bought the Emerald Package, it was well worth the money! The amount of time and detail the staff took us was amazing. We left feeling relaxed and ready to tackle the world again. We are going to be coming back. The spa downstairs was amazing, what a way to finish off the night after a massage. Thank you for making our night!

There are so many good things to say about this place. The biggest shout out to Donna May who gave me the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had in my life. Repeat: the BEST deep tissue massage I’ve ever had IN MY LIFE. The price was $95 for an hour.Other pros: they got me in on a Sunday.The facility is very clean.They have optional spa upgrades (see photos).Cons: They have this required form where you have to fill out medical information. I don’t like providing my medical information and it wasn’t necessary for this type of appointment.The booking process could be simpler but it’s not a make or break.Overall, I had a nice time and look forward to booking with Donna May in the future.

My mom and I did the mother and daughter package and overall it was a really awesome experience! The place was under construction but they were able to accommodate our needs, the only downside is I never even knew our massage therapists names and I am kinda bummed about not being able to utilize the hot tub or sauna but I guess that means I’ll just have to come back another time! (:

A delicious sanctuary. I felt the worries of the week being worked out of my body. Richard was my “ Sensei” masseuse educating me on muscle connections and guidance on how to release tension. This is now my spiritual hideaway once a month.
