Reasons to Cleanse & Replenish by Becky Natrajan, M.D.
1.Strengthen the Immune System.
Cleansing impurities and flooding the body with high grade essential
nutrients strengthens the immune system. Some studies indicate that
a healthy dose of high grade, absorbable protein will strengthen
your immune system by as much as 500%.
2. Love Your Liver.
A clean, healthy liver supports metabolism and burns fat. A healthy
liver promotes normal thyroid function and when the thyroid is
healthy, your metabolism and energy levels escalate.
3. Support Healthy Brain Chemistry.
When your body can effectively absorb and digest fats and protein,
it converts these nutrients into healthy brain chemicals. When your
brain chemistry is aligned, you will make healthier food selections.
4. Restore Antioxidants.
Toxic compounds create "free radicals" that have the potential to
damage cellular DNA-thus leading to cancer, weakened immune systems
and accelerated aging. Antioxidants are substances that block free
radical formation and destroy already formed free radicals.
5. Free yourself from stress.
In herbal medicine, adaptogens are used to help the body "adapt" to
imbalances that stress the body externally or internally.
Replenishing the body's needed adaptogens assists in the body's own
self-regulatory systems, thus reducing stress.
6. Maximize Absorption of Essential
Nutrients. Maximizing
absorption of nutrients helps to fuel the internal body to support
all major organ systems including the circulatory, musculoskeletal,
and neurological systems.
7.
Aid Digestion. Herbs such as suma, peppermint, fennel seed,
and licorice have been used in many cultures to support and aid in
digestion. Peppermint is a nontoxic digestive remedy that can
provide relief from gas, bloating, nausea, and gastric upset.
Peppermint has a calming effect on the smooth muscle of the
intestinal tract and is felt to promote the flow of bile from the
gallbladder into the small bowel, thus aiding in the digestion of
fats.
8. Rejuvenate Your Cells with Ionic
Minerals. Minerals are
the key to enzyme activation in our digestive tract. When minerals
are present, our intestines allow for ultimate absorption of
vitamins and essential nutrients. Modern lifestyle has taken its
toll on our digestive/elimination organs. Ionic (charged) minerals
are the most easily absorbed by our body.
9. Support Your Vital Organs.
If your body is overwhelmed with impurities, gentle cleansing herbs
and essential nutrients will allow it to eliminate toxins through
the liver (the major detoxifying organ of the body), colon, urinary
tract, sweat glands, skin pores, and the lymphatic system much more
effectively.
10. Lose Weight and Feel Great.
Studies have shown that fat cells provide the perfect environment
for holding onto toxins. This is our body's natural mechanism for
protecting itself from dangerous, often deadly toxins. Cleansing
aids in the body's ability to flush fat and increase metabolism.
11. Eliminate Unhealthy Cravings.
The healthy body will crave healthy things. The unhealthy body will
crave unhealthy things. Cleansing and replenishing allows the
internal body to create an environment that craves good, nutritious
food.
12. Enhance Cellular Communication.
Our cells want two things: good nutrients and a clean environment in
which to communicate. Cleansing provides our cells with both.
13. Build Muscle.
Cleaning and then replenishing with pharmaceutical grade organic
whey protein provides the body with essential amino acids that are
the building blocks for the development of lean, dense muscle.
14. Address Diabetes.
Type II diabetes is a serious disease that is rampant because of our
lifestyles. Effective weight loss and fueling of the body can aid in
the body's ability to restore normal sugar levels.
15. Beautify The Skin.
Our skin is the largest organ of our body. Cleansing and
replenishing rejuvenates our skin, making us appear younger and more
supple.
16. Create Abundant Energy.
Better sleep cycles, achieved through cleansing, provide the body
with stamina, energy, and mental clarity throughout the waking
hours.
17. Balance Your Hormonal System.
Cleansing and replenishing balances hormone levels, leading to a
feeling of constant well being, increased stamina and increased
sexual desire.
18. Slow the Effects of Aging.
Toxins and nutritional deficiency can lead to premature aging on an
internal and external level. Cleansing and replenishing allows our
cells the ability to attach the affects of aging head on. A younger
appearance along with incredible energy is often the result!
19. Address Cancer.
Researchers suggest that approximately 90,000 cancer deaths may be
related to obesity and are therefore, preventable. For almost all
cancers, the risk of death increases coincident with body mass
increases. Cleansing and replenishing often results in significant
weight loss and, thus can reduce the risk of cancer.
20. Enhance Elimination.
Refined, processed, low fiber foods, animal fats, lack of exercise,
dehydration, and an ever-increasing level of stress all contribute
to an irritable bowel and to sluggish elimination from the
intestinal tract. Cellular cleansing and replenishing with fiber
rich nutrients allows for better colonic elimination of impurities
and is essential in the prevention of intestinal disorders.
21. Never Diet Again!
Cleansing and refueling the body is an "anti-diet" approach to
optimal health and weight management. "Diets" are often imbalanced
and neither strengthen the immune system nor rid the body of toxins.
Imbalanced diets rob the body of essential nutrients and only offer
temporary results. Why not embrace a program that gives the body the
right nutrients, the right balance, and the ability to once and for
all chronically defend itself against the battle of the bulge? |
