Greetings!
Welcome to “Peepers” the monthly newsletter of Clear Vision, focused on helping us live more prosperous lives in the areas of health, wealth, and relationships. In this edition, we address how to manage our fears (particularly during these turbulent times) and focus on developing the life we really want.
DETOXIFY YOUR BODY – Part 1
Have you ever heard the phrase “You can’t put new wine in old bags”? or “Two things can’t occupy the same space at the same time”? Did you ever think that these two phrases could be made in reference to your physical body? Well, it can and it does. The need to detoxify the body is as essential to life as eating food. Ironically enough, often times, it’s the foods that we put in our bodies that make it so necessary to detox.
Detoxification is the process of reducing the buildup of various poisonous substances in the body. Over time, these substances begin to disrupt the functions of the organs resulting in various degenerative diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, asthma and obesity. Often times, our bodies will give us warning signals that there is something wrong, and it is time to detox. Some warning signals include headache, constipation, bloating, insomnia, skin disorders and constant fatigue. There are several ways in which the body can accumulate toxins. Hundreds of chemicals ranging from carbon monoxide, to aluminum, to lead enter the body through the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Excess fats, sugar, oil, salt and food additives are just a few substances that make the body toxic as well.
Body detoxification or “internal bathing” is just as important as “external bathing”. You wouldn’t allow one month to pass without cleaning your home or your car, so why not treat your body with the same respect? Body detoxification does not have to be difficult or expensive. Below are a few guidelines to help you get started. Please note that it is necessary to consult a qualified health care professional before attempting any body detoxification program:
- Fasting is an effective and safe method of helping the body to detox. Both “fruit fasts” and “juice fasts” can assist the body in reaching perfect equilibrium.
- Colon Cleansing can rid the colon of toxic buildup and debris and help prevent and treat a variety of health problems. Some forms of colon cleansing include: enema, colema, colonic and herbal treatments.
- Exercise! Regular exercise improves digestion and elimination of toxic substances in the body. It also boosts the immune system, reduces stress and increases your well being.
- Massage Therapy and Reflexology increases the lymphatic circulation and improves the blood flow thereby increasing the elimination of toxic substances.
