Have you ever felt just not right? Remember those silly commercials from the 80s when the daughter turned to mom and they discussed something rather private about freshness?? Have you felt like something was off balance?
Maybe a nagging cold or turbulent tummy . . . that dragging feeling of, "I'm not Sick-sick, but I'm not well."
Perhaps it is time for a full body cleanse.
The cleanse has been around for years as a part of holistic medicine, and it’s finally being accepted and embraced within the modern medicine community. Though there are many different ways to cleanse, the results are all the same as a cleanse works by helping to eliminate toxins and restore a healthy balance within the body.
How Does All of that Stuff Get There?
You may not think that you need a cleanse as you may feel as though you lead a healthy lifestyle already. Even the healthiest person can benefit from a cleanse because there is always some level of toxin and chemical build up, it’s just natural.
Additionally there may even be parasites or other related things lurking within your colon or other parts, and if you don’t perform some form of detoxification this can lead to a sluggish feeling and even health problems over time. So no matter how healthy you are or how you may feel as though you do all the right things, everybody can benefit from a cleanse.
Over time the environment we live in, the air that we breath, the foods that we eat, and the toxins that we knowingly introduce wreak havoc on our bodies. All of these substances start to build up toxins and chemicals in our body that can slow things down, cause our organs to function slower or improperly, and leave us feeling sick and tired. If you perform a cleanse on a regular basis, you will quickly see that you feel more energized and healthier almost immediately.
You will also have better nutrient absorption as the cleanse will take out the gunk that prevents you from fully utilizing those organic veggies you've been noshing.
What’s the Best Way to Proceed?
With so many different cleanse programs out there; it can be hard to know which one to choose. This has been a fixture within holistic medicine for years, and at the core of most cleanse programs is the idea that you subsist on liquids for a period of 3-7 days. The liquids are specifically raw, fresh, natural fruit and vegetable juices.
There are plenty of variations to this body cleanse, some of which involve citrus juices with cayenne pepper and syrup, and others that focus solely on water and natural herbs in the form of teas. Pick one that seems most appealing (or least repelling!). Just remember the cleanse should ultimately focus on letting your organs rest so that the body can naturally get rid of the toxins that have built up.
Be prepared as the results of a body cleanse can be eye opening to say the least! You may find yourself attached to the bathroom, feeling nauseas, and you are likely to feel weak and tired. The first time you perform a cleanse, it can be a good idea to stick close to home so that you can see how your body reacts to this healthy measure. Don’t be alarmed if you see some things come out that you didn’t think possible to dwell within your body—these are all signs that the cleanse is working and the toxins are moving out. After the initial period of exhaustion and living without solid food for a couple of days, you will find that the cleanse leaves you feeling healthier, more energized, and more vital than ever.
Many people report a delightful feeling of "being lighter."
