Just what is this one habit that can leave you feeling shiny, clean and brand new? It’s forming a habit a few times per year (the change of seasons is perfect) to pay attention to your nutrition, lighten the load on your digestive system, and take the time to ‘clean house’. I call this taking part in a seasonal, whole foods, healthy Cleanse.
Let’s clear a few things up
As a holistic sports nutrition consultant, wellness coach and self-professed health-foodie (yes I love uber healthy food and I love it to taste incredible), I know there are a lot of misconceptions about what a healthy cleanse is and isn’t, and the big question – is cleansing for healthy active people, ok let’s clear this up right now.
A healthy, healing cleanse involves eating!
That may sound crazy, but many people think cleansing equals deprivation, pills and powders. Cleansing is meant to reset and reboot your body, not starve it with so few calories you metabolism slows to a snails pace; sure you may lose a few pounds but as soon as the ‘cleanse’ is done you gain it all back and maybe even more.
In a nutshell, Cleansing is following a thoroughly designed and easy to implement eating and lifestyle plan, one which moves the body to an alkaline pH, allowing massive healing to take place. The meals on my 12-Day Cleanse are both healing and rejuvenating, flooding your mind and body with tons of energy as you shed unwanted weight. Taking this gentle healing approach guarantees you will adopt new habits and strategies so the weight falls off easily and stays off! Eating Clean becomes a lifestyle not a yo-yo diet.
Do you feel like this…
If you feel even a bit sluggish, have that nagging brain fog that a morning coffee and even a green smoothie won’t cure. If your digestive system is acting up and you feel you may be sensitive to certain foods but can’t quite figure it out. If your joints are aching, you get reoccurring headaches, and if you can’t remember when you last had a good night sleep because your nervous system is so jacked-up – let me tell you it’s time to Cleanse!! Your body needs a re-boot.
Toxins we can’t avoid
The truth is, no matter how “healthy” we try to be, we are all still ingesting toxins that are bogging down our systems. Pesticides, preservatives, hormones, chlorinated water, smog… you name it. Some are out of our control and some aren’t. Either way- our systems are constantly dealing with foreign intruders and sure could use some help.
Some of the affects of these toxins on your body are:
- low energy
- excess weight
- brain fog
- caffeine addiction
- craving processed foods
- acne
- dull skin
I know before I started a seasonal cleanse routine I could say yes to all these symptoms!!
