Cleansing Your Body
"The secret to great health can be described in three words: Cleanse Your Body! Engrave these three words permanently in your memory." Dr. Paul Bragg
A critical step in health
Poor digestion may be the world’s #1 health problem. Cleansing your body of harmful toxins and debris allows your body to fully absorb and utilize the nutrients from foods and natural supplements. Even if you’re eating a fairly healthy diet, a toxic build-up may prevent your body from converting the essential nutrients you consume into the energy you require. Because of our high fat, high sugar, low fiber diets, cleansing your digestive tract may be the most critical step you can take to improve your health. Without proper cleansing, our bodies may experience problems such as
• Constipation, which results in waste accumulation in the body
• Poor enzyme secretion, which results in inadequate digestion and absorption
• Abdominal bloating, gas, and cramps
• Harmful organisms (parasites) that rob the body of essential nutrients
• Food allergies
• Ulceration of the digestive tract
• Bowel irritation
• Compromised immune system
Additional symptoms from poor digestive health include headaches, joint pain, fatigue, skin eruptions, bad breath, and recurrent infections.
DID YOU KNOW?
"90% of all disease and discomfort is directly or indirectly related to an unclean colon." Royal Academy of Physicians of Great Britain.
Why fiber is so important to digestive health?
Dietary fiber plays a crucial role in the proper functioning and maintenance of the colon. Increasing the amount of fiber in the diet may reduce symptoms of diverticulosis and prevent complications such as diverticulitis. Fiber keeps stool soft and lowers pressure inside the colon so that bowel contents can move through easily. The American Dietetic Association recommends 25 to 35 grams of fiber each day, but the average American eats less than 12 grams of fiber per day.
DID YOU KNOW?
A Harvard Medical School study found that men who consumed only 12 grams of fiber a day were twice as likely to develop colon problems as men whose daily fiber intake was about 30 grams.
The other main organ we need to concern ourselves with when we are cleansing is our liver. The liver is the largest filter we have in our body. Absolutely every nutrient that goes into our body must pass through our livers. This is accomplished through our very complex circulatory system, and delivered to our liver via the blood. Here the liver will block and filter out toxins and wastes, collect and synthesize components, manufacture and excrete enzymes and acids to magically deliver to the body the much-needed nutrients required to sustain life itself. If we have a malfunctioning, overloaded and toxic liver we will be sick.
Generally speaking, nothing begins to permanently change in our body for at least three months, so when you approach a new lifestyle and make the improvements needed please be patient and commit to at least maintaining the changes and additions to your daily routine for 3 months minimum before expecting to see permanent, sustainable change. It is recommended to maintain optimal health after your initial cleanse, you would return to a ‘Cleansing Program’ once or twice a year for a 30-day period minimum.
