BOOK | Chico’s 1-Week Detox: Reset Your Adult Body’s Toxins

Editor’s Recommendation: “Everyone will surely feel the difference in how refreshed they wake up and how light their body feels.”

Detoxifying your body’s “toxins” can easily lead to beautiful skin and a beautiful body!—We received a recommendation from Shinobu Yamamoto of Kodansha’s Second Publishing Department for Lifestyle Culture, the editor in charge of "Chico’s 1-Week Detox: Reset Your Adult Body’s Toxins," which introduces the one-week detox method systematized by Chico, a familiar face at OPENERS.

Text by Shinobu Yamamoto (KODANSHA)

Once a year: A week to reclaim your true body.

Just as objects rust and break, the human body accumulates “toxins” and undergoes changes from years of use. Stress from work and family, irregular lifestyles, unbalanced diets, and exercise routines that can’t be sustained—these are all sources of “toxins” that we can all relate to.

Regaining clear skin and a body that moves with ease, just like when we were children, is precisely what it means to remove “toxins”—in other words, to detoxify.

Chico Shigeta, known as the producer of the popular organic cosmetics brand "SHIGETA" in Japan and as a sought-after therapist in Paris with celebrity clients including Sofia Coppola and government officials, has developed a special one-week method for busy Japanese people, although her ideal detox period is three weeks.

There are four methods.
1. Incorporate the power of plants.
2. Perform detoxification massage.
3. Practice mindful breathing.
4. Eat a diet primarily of raw foods.

Whether you think, “Is that all?” or “That’s so much?” depends on the individual, but the editor in charge and I are in the “Is that all?” camp. The power of plants is also the power of scent, so it’s easy to incorporate through baths or diffusers. The massage takes less than five minutes a day (and only for one week). Breathing can become a habit, and since the raw food diet isn’t about restriction, you’ll surprisingly feel full and satisfied. You should immediately feel how much better you wake up and how much lighter your body feels!

If you want to correct internal imbalances, achieve a translucent, small face, reduce swelling, and get a toned stomach,—then this one-week challenge is for you.
