Why cleanse?
A little bit o’ science
Toxic chemicals abound in the world today – they easily find their way into our body through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. We also ingest foreign chemicals when taking medicinal or illicit drugs, or when using alcohol or tobacco.
Although the body is designed to be self-cleaning and to excrete these toxins, it cannot always handle the overload present in today’s environment. Chemicals not excreted accumulate in our fat cells and cell membranes become internal toxins.
When the body is under stress, it releases those toxic waste products from the fat to circulate in the bloodstream. These toxins can damage the protective intestinal lining, literally corroding the body from the inside out; making it a less effective filter for the good nutrients we might be bringing in. The more it is damaged, the less effectively it absorbs nutrients, and the more toxins pass into the blood and lymph systems. This is why elimination is so important during a cleanse! We aim to eliminate toxins from the body to avoid toxic overload.
Diet
Hippocrates said it best..."Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food"
It takes more than your diet to maintain a healthy mind, body, & spirit.
Exercise
Move your body! You don't have to do a high intensity workout to get the results you may be looking for. Try yoga or simple stretching.
Meditation
Meditation is a great way to manage stress and get in a relaxed state. Managing stress is critical for your well being as it has been linked to many different illnesses.
