Have you noticed the incredible popularity of digestive aids recently?

Consider giving your digestive system a little vacation. This gives the detoxification systems of the body a chance to clean house.

Cleansing & Fasting Ideas For Beginners, 189

There are many different styles of detoxifying regimes. Let’s talk about some of the ones she covers in this video, starting with the absolute beginner. The beginning cleanser, would be someone who has been eating a typical Western diet from birth and has little or no experience with juicing, raw foods or fasting.

• Starting point, just add more raw foods to the diet and leave off some of the processed junk foods. This small step right here is a good starting point and can make a difference.
• Raw food challenge, a more extensive raw food regime, eating 100% raw foods for a certain number of days. This is easier for most people, because they have some food on the stomach.
• Smoothie cleanse. This is one of my favorites.  I load up a bunch of veggies and some pure water in a blender and blend it up. Then I add some rice protein powder or other quality protein.
• Green juice, this is likely the most cleansing version. Pure green juices, made fresh with a juicer. This is also low in sugar, compared to fruit, carrot and beet juices.
• The water fast. I used to do this for a few days at a time. I really don’t think it is the best choice. The body needs some nutrition in order for the detoxification pathways to work efficiently. It is also pretty tough to function some days with no nutrition at all.
• The one I wouldn’t recommend is the, whole day of fruit. Way too much sugar. She warns against diabetics doing this.  I would extend that to anyone with candida, yeast infection, hypoglycemia and more. Too much sugar is good for no one. A little fruit balanced with some greens and protein is a better way to go.

She leaves us with one important point at the end, take it easy. The more you can minimize obligations and running around during a cleanse the better. Doing it over a weekend, when you don’t have to work,  or on a vacation is ideal.
One point I want to stress, It is a great idea to consult with your personal health care provider before embarking on a cleanse. Especially if you have some type of health condition to start with.

When we fast, we drop the carbon footprint from the planet by up to 80%.

The mind gets clear and the Spirit soars.

My Personal Experience with Fasting

I know from personal experience that what Gabriel Cousens, MD, says in this video is true. I always feel better, more mentally sharp and in touch with my inner spirit during a water fast or a juice fast.

Fasting should only be done under the direction of a health professional. some people, diabetics for one, may have problems with fasting. Educating yourself is a great strategy here.

Quote from video:

“Fasting makes our bodies as a radiant pond, that reflects the light of the sun, the light of consciousness, compared to being a muddy hole, that reflects nothing.” -

A New Year, New Decade, Newness of Life

This year I plan to start the New Year with some juice fasting. The 2nd or 3rd of January would be a great time to start, after all the festivities, relative visiting and junk food fest is over. This will help me get a clear vision of what the New Year ahead, and even new decade will look like.

Whenever I do any kind of fasting or cleansing, I like to drink Dr. Miller’s Iaso tea. It greatly accelerates the detox process. It is even good to drink on a daily basis everyday of the year to help keep things cleaned out on the inside.

2 or 3 glasses of freshly made vegetable juice per day provides the equivalent of several large salads.

With juicing you get a concentrated flood of enzymes and nutrients. You would have to eat a large amount of vegetables to get the same value.

The big difference between juice and a whole vegetable is the fiber. Juice contains no fiber. Therefore it is much easier for your body to absorb the nutrients. Yes, most people need more fiber, but juicing is one way to bolster your enzymes and nutrition quickly. Just make sure to eat some whole vegetables too, so you get some fiber. The exception would be during a juice fast, but this is a temporary situation, not something you would do everyday.

Hippocrates center teaches juice fasting once per week.

It is exciting to see people waking up everyday feeling alive and feeling good in their body. Watching people create the lives they want to live.

The World Getting Fatter

People are getting fatter and fatter,  says Virginia, a lady who was fed up with being supersized. When she couldn’t reach down to tie her own shoes, it was time for a change.

Depressed, Need a Vacation?

Cary thought he needed a 6 month vacation, due to depression and liver issues. After a few days of juice fasting, he was feeling fantastic. No need for the 6 month vacation. In this video, you can see him juicing wheat grass, with a Green Star juicer. Very similar to the Green life juicer I have at home.

A Bonus Detox

One of the things I have added lately to my own detox regime is Dr Miller’s Iaso tea.  It is a blend of natural herbs, selected for their detox and weight loss properties. It is also great for an everyday drink to help keep the body and specifically the colon clean. Click on the image below to check it out.

I’m very jealous of what goes into my body.

You only have one body in this lifetime.

You must take extra good care of it. Treat it with TLC.

Fan of Paul Bragg

I’m with Paul Bragg on this one. I don’t want any preservatives, additives or other junk in my body.

I want to:

• Live a good long time
• Be super healthy until the day I die
• Always be physically active
• Stay mental sharp and alert into old age.

How I Discovered Fasting and Super Health

When I first started going to church in my late teens, I read about fasting in the Bible. The church authorities knew a little about fasting, but I was was hungry for more. I took a trip to the Christian book store, up in the big city. One of the first books, I came across was Paul Bragg, The Miracle of Fasting. I took it home and it changed my life.

If you take in 3 meals a day, but don’t eliminate that many, You may be constipated. Getting the colon clean is an important step to any cleansing regime.

Iaso Tea is an herbal blend designed to help cleanse the entire body, including the colon.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a pretty inexpensive way to enhance your health.

I picked up a bottle of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar for $4 at the grocery store last night.

Check out the video to learn about some of the benefits and cleansing effects.

Some of the Best Ways to Consume Apple Cider Vinegar

• Make an oil and vinegar salad dressing for your organic salad. Use olive, sesame or canola oil. Add some herbs and sea salt for flavor.
• Drink it straight – follow with some pure water to rinse your teeth.
• Mix with pure water and drink.
• Add to your favorite recipes.

If you have had a positive experience with Apple cider vinegar, or have a favorite way to get it down, let us know in the comment form below.

Pure, Organic and Unfiltered is the Key

Highly processed varieties of apple cider vinegar do not have the same benefits. You may have to visit your local health food store to find a good one. I was lucky enough tot find it in a regular grocery store.

Pre-Cleanse

It’s time again for my Detox Boot Camp. I did it last year about this time and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Be the end of the detox, I had more energy and mental clarity, than I’d had in a long time. Not that it was easy. There were a few challenging days for sure.

8 Day Detox Cleanse

In a couple of days I’m going to start the detox. This time around I’m going to do it for 8 days. Should be enough time for a good vibrant health tune up.

Pre-Cleanse

Right now I’m in the pre-cleanse phase. Cutting back on caffeine, adding more fre3sh vegetables and starting to really clean up the diet. This should make for an easier transition to the Detox Boot Camp.

More Videos About the Detox

This time around I promise to make more videos about the detox experience and give some more detail about exactly what I am doing. Enter you name and email in the from on this site and I’ll keep you posted. I promise not to spam you with a bunch of worthless junk.
