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.

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.

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.
