CLEANSE, REPLENISH AND REVITALIZE:  BALANCE YOUR BRAIN CHEMISTRY AND BE THE BEST YOU POSSIBLE!

 What does THAT all mean?  Even for myself, as a person who considers herself to be very knowledgeable about nutrition AND exceptionally healthy, I found all the buzz about “cleansing and detoxifying” quite confusing.  Pick up any health magazine and you will find at least 2 articles about cleansing (each contradicting the other!), not to mention numerous advertisements for products claiming to detox your liver, colon etc – all with “just 1 or 2 magic capsules a day”!  When I heard about a person going on a cleanse or a detoxification, I had images of  living on water and fruit juice, or sipping lemon juice and water for 12 days with the occasional maple syrup thrown in for a boost, or worst, simply fasting with only water to give sustenance.  I know that none of these cleanses are healthy for our bodies because even if they do reduce toxicity (doubtful), they do not provide the nutrients our bodies MUST have to be strong and healthy and, furthermore, they actually slow our metabolisms down even more. 

 When I was introduced to a 9 day cleansing and detoxification program in November 2006, I was quite skeptical, although my curiosity was piqued when I read that this program both reduced toxins, and most importantly, replenished nutrients.  I must admit also that my vanity played a role in deciding to try this program because of the many stories about significant and sustainable body fat loss as a natural side effect from this detoxifying system.  Like many of us, I had developed the unwanted roll around my middle that seemed resistant to all crunches and my usual healthy eating patterns!  After researching this particular nutritional cleansing system and discovering that it detoxifies on the cellular level, meaning all of our internal body, not just certain organs, and that it contained only high quality ingredients and no chemicals, I decided to give it a try. 

I started with a 2 day pre-cleanse where I replaced breakfast with a surprisingly delicious shake and had  1 oz of a gingery/lemon tasting mineral drink.  I cut back on caffeine, alcohol, salt and processed foods – so far so good!  The next 2 days were cleanse days where I drank an aloe vera based detoxifying mixture four times and ate frequent snacks throughout the day.  I grazed on some organic apple slices and unsalted almonds while sipping on copious quantities of water (to help flush the toxins out – actually, the whole point of this!).  The first day was a bit challenging, not from hunger at all, but because it felt just a bit strange not to have a “real” meal, however, I understood the goal of detoxifying and decided 9 days was not a long time anyway.  By the second day of the cleanse part, I actually felt very good and noticed that my sleep had been more restful than it had been in a long time.  The “magic” for me was when I woke-up on the third morning feeling more energized and refreshed than I had in years (and don’t forget that I already felt quite well most of the time…)!  For the next five days I had two of the supplementary shakes, in addition to, a healthy 400-600 calorie meal, which included carbohydrates!  I planned lovely meals for myself and my family and enjoyed the shakes enormously.  I was also allowed to eat a few more snacks as needed.  The program ended with 2 more cleanse days as I had started with – they were easy to follow and I never experienced any hunger, although I was beginning to picture a nice glass of wine!

I woke-up the following morning with tape measure and scale ready.  I must admit that I didn’t really expect to lose much in the way of pounds since I have been such a healthy eater in the past and even when I “watched it” I rarely lost weight.  I also didn’t really care because the results that mattered to me most I had found – mental clarity, smooth skin, unbelievable energy and fabulous sleeps.  Okay, I cared a little.  With bated breath I hopped on the scale.  My results:  9 lbs and 4 % body fat loss, 3 inches off my waist, 2 inches off  “roll area” which no longer existed, 1 inch off each thigh, and NONE off my breasts (when else does that happen!).  Needless to say, I was very pleased.  I also noted that I did not have any cravings at all;  not for coffee, wine, chocolate, or snacks – miraculous!

 I became even more intrigued by the process I had just gone through and did some more research.  Medical doctors currently accept the fact that we are ALL toxic from the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.  Medical studies reveal that toxins and chemicals accumulate in our bodies and one way that our liver deals with impurities is to increase body fat to enfold these impurities to protect the body from their influence.  This causes us to gain and retain body fat contributing to stubborn fat stores, premature aging, loss of energy, and numerous chronic diseases.  Cleansing the body at the cellular level and removing these toxins causes the body to naturally release this extra body fat at the same time because it is not longer required by the body as a protector.  This finally explained for me the difference between diets and cleansing. During diets, when fat loss occurs, the toxins remain and increase in concentration.  As a result, when you return to your regular eating habits the fat rebounds – even more than before.  In contrast, by cleansing, you get rid of the toxins in the body, you then release the body fat and there is no rebound effect.  

 The other profound advantage of cleansing over dieting is that cleansing allows the body to be the miracle it was meant to be – it puts it back into balance.  We experience cravings when things are out of balance, so after a cellular cleanse that also replenishes nutrients, we are able to balance our brain chemistry.  Consuming the quality of amino acids found in the shakes I drank while on this detoxification program allowed my body to actually build lean muscle mass at the same time as I was losing body fat – this is every dieter and athletes dream come true!  

My journey has proven to be both an adventure and a wonderful learning experience.  I am pleased to say that I have been able to take my health to a higher level than I ever thought possible.  When we balance our brain chemistry by cleansing, replenishing and revitalizing, we start to feel fantastic mentally, emotionally, and physically! YOU become the best YOU possible.

Traditional Diet vs. Cleansing

One of the ways the liver deals with impurities is to increase body fat to enfold these impurities to protect the body from their influence. Diets are not successful for long term weight loss because they don’t address the need to cleanse the body of impurities.

Traditional Diet:
Fat stored to protect from impurities
Smaller body means increased percentage of impurities
Body senses increased level of impurities and goes into emergency fat production - REBOUND!
Fat stored to protect from impurities        

Cleansing:
Shed Pounds Without The Rebound ! and Help Build Lean Muscle at the Same Time !
Cleansing is a safe, healthy, and natural way to achieve a healthier, leaner body.

21 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 cell 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 manangement. "Diets" are often imbalanced and neither strengthen the immunes 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?
