Cleansing 101

We are seeing two great changes in the state of our health as a society. Since the 1950's our longevity rates have increased but now they have stopped. This is a scary thought because it means that our children will not live as long as we will. The second change is that the quality of our life is declining. These changes are mainly caused by the toxins in our environment. We are seeing new diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia were not just one factor is causing these diseases but the state of the environment we live in is playing a huge part.

What we are eating has also changed since the 1950's. We are no longer consuming fruits and vegetables from our own gardens or meat that we have raised ourselves. We are now consuming pesticides that are man-made and that have high radiation levels. Our farmers are paying the price with their health from using these pesticides and now we, as the end consumer of these goods, are damaging our health by ingesting these pesticides.

We are even absorbing toxins through our skin. It is reported that anything are skin comes in contact with shows up in our urine only 20 minutes later. We are possibly absorbing lead into our bodies via lipstick even. As long as we are living on this Earth we can not get away from toxins. Toxins are in our food, water, and air.

So, we want to live a better quality of life. Well, no one product can solve the above problems, however cleansing can help. Cleansing has been around since the beginning of time. When we cleanse, good things happen in our bodies. Cleansing is the key to total health and well being. In a way we are a cleansing society. However, we are only looking on the outside of things. Cleaning our teeth, washing our hands, taking showers, washing our hair. We even clean the inside of our ears on occasion to help with wax build up. But we tend to forget the most important part of our bodies, the inside.

When we cleanse(or fast) our inside bodies for one to two days we find that our human growth hormone levels go up. As we get older, especially after 30 years old, these levels tend to decrease which causes our bodies not to produce all the hormones that it needs.

Our liver is a great natural cleansing. However, if it is clogged with excess toxins it can not function properly. Our bodies start to try to protect itself from harmful toxins by surrounding these toxins with water in our fat cells. The liver can process almost any toxin if it is clean and working properly. This is why it is so important to cleanse the inside body, drink lots of water, and avoid caffeine.

The questions is often asked how often should you cleanse. The answer would be to start with two cleanse days in a row. Then processed with five days were you nourish your body with the best nutrients available and then do another two days of cleansing. This will just start your body to better health. After this initial 9 day phase you should cleanse one day a week until you have reached your goal weight including your muscle mass goal and you desired fat mass. When these goals have been accomplished your body with tell you when you need another nine day phase just for maintenance. This is generally every three months.

By first cleansing two days in a row you will have a better, deeper cleanse. It is very important to drink a 1/2 gallon of good clean water while cleansing because this will help flush the toxins from your body. It is also important to have small snacks specially designed from cleansing. These snacks will help break down fat tissue and stimulate your metabolism. Most people have better results while cleansing when they consume these special snacks.

All internal cleansing products are not created equal. Many are only designed to put money in the manufacturer's pocket. Some supplements that you purchase don't even have that ingredient in them or as much as the bottle says. So, it is important to purchase products from a company that you trust.

It is also extremely helpful to have a cleansing coach, especially during your first nine day phase. A coach can answer any questions you may have while doing a cleanse and can help you stay on track with regular phone calls and/or e-mail support.

In conclusion, it is vital to your overall health to cleanse your body so it can cleanse itself of all the harmful toxins we are exposed to everyday. Drink plenty of water while on your cleanse, purchase products from a trusted company, and enlist the help of a cleansing coach will ensure your best results from an internal cleanse.
