Detox

I wish it was spring already. I'm ready for it. I love winter, but there hasn't been much sunshine..and really not many "nice" snowfalls...For many, with the thought of spring, comes the thought of renewal and rejuvenation. I decided to start my body cleanse or "detox" tomorrow. Since this is my first time doing this, I chose a seven day program. There are ones that last up to a month. Some people do this once or twice a year, some more often. There are different cleansings, although the liver and colon are most common. I chose to do a complete body cleanse that is all natural. I will take 4 capsules each morning and 4 different ones each evening for seven days. Along with this is a slight change in my already fairly healthy diet. No wheat products, milk products, processed meats or pork, shellfish, yeast containing foods (like bread), no pasta, potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms (a favourite!), sugar, alcohol or fruit (except for lemons and limes). Wow! That cuts down A LOT on what I normally eat. So though, I don't think I can observe this 100%, I will try to cut out most of the above. The idea of the detox is to rid your body of excess toxins that have accumulated over time. Apparently, in doing this, I should have more energy, regulated bowels, greater immunity, rejuvenation and improved digestion and nutrient absorption. Hey, it's worth a try. I'll keep you posted as to how it goes and whether I see this as being a beneficial thing to do or not. Cleanse me now!
