Detoxification
The body has effective ways of dealing with toxins and waste products. Sometimes these pathways are not working up to speed or become blocked. The back up of waste material makes it harder for the rest of the body to function normally and ultimately leads to disease.
Since the environment in which we live makes it impossible for us to maintain a pristine lifestyle, regular cleansing is essential.
Detoxification involves dietary, supplemental and physical interventions. It usually focuses on one or more of the main organs of detoxification, the liver, kidneys, bowels, lungs or skin.
Help Detoxify Your Body Daily By:
- Drinking water with a squeeze of fresh lemon, upon waking.
- Taking a greens drink, daily.
- Consuming natural, fresh fruit and vegetables daily.
- Avoiding refined foods, sugar and processed and packaged foods.
- Exercising daily.
- Taking milk thistle or other cleansing herbs.
- Dry Brushing the skin.
- Consuming at least 8 glasses of pure water daily.
- Ensuring regular bowel movements, try psyllium or flax for extra fiber.
