Daylight savings is detox & cleanse time!
Wind back your clocks, detox your body!
I love detox time! Truly I do!! Not only because I’m a health obsessed naturopath, but because I love to feel like I have enough energy to last forever! To feel strong in body, clear in mind.
If I could have a few more hours in every day I’d take it!! If anyone can grant me that wish ... Until I find the magic wand ... the next best thing for me is to feel energised and bright enough to take every little second of every beautiful day and LIVE IT!
This is what a Spring detox does for me.
The most precious thing - Your Body
Think about how often you give your car or bicycle a service... now honestly say how long you would keep your car (5 years, 10 years, 20 years???) And how long will you live in your body?? Take care of it and it will serve you well!
Why detox & cleanse my body now?
- Spring cleaning is not just for the home! Your body is actually designed for a cleanse following each winter. Think about all the cultures that fast each year.
- Your body is ready to transition away from the rich, heavy winter foods.
- You will have more energy for the festivities of Summer!
- Your mind will feel more switched on.
What am I detoxing from my body?
- Airborne pollutants that we breathe in everyday.
- Pesticides and fertilisers that our great-grandparents lived without!
- ‘Foods’ that burden – everything refined, fried, sweetened and pumped with artificial colours and preservatives.
How do I detox and cleanse my body?
- Food choices are key to a successful cleanse.
- The right combination of supplements will support your liver during the various phases of detoxification and enhance the detoxification process.
- Commit to a minimum of 3 weeks to allow your body time to really cleanse.
As your body detoxifies ...
At first you may experience headaches, flu-like symptoms, digestive changes, fatigue ... This will all pass and by the end of week 3 you will feel energised and ready to enjoy Summer!
The promise!
As promised to all of my detoxing clients!! Throughout October I’ll be posting cleansing juices and salads as well as snacks you won’t believe are healthy. Today we’ll get started with a breakfast that will keep you going for hours. Start every day with a fresh juice and notice how good you begin to feel!
