NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING: AS A WAY OF MAINTAINING HEALTHY LIVING

Nutritional cleansing is a process whereby we simultaneously cleanse and replenish the body internally. This is so important because most of us have many impurities in our body and we are naturally depleted. This combination is like an accident waiting to happen! In this state, our bodies tend to retain extra water and fat as a way to dilute toxins. Our energy levels will drop as cellular efficiency decreases. Nutritionally depleted bodies are not well equipped to undertake the process of cleansing the body internally – a vicious cycle indeed.

Most of us have already heard something about cleansing. Fasting has been a part of most of the world’s major religions. The challenge is that most of us do not have the ability to divest ourselves of our worldly obligations and commit a week to completely relax and fast. In addition, in our depleted and stressful state, a radical fast can overwhelm our organs of elimination, producing uncomfortable symptoms including severe headaches, itching, aches and weakness. Fortunately, there is a way out of this conundrum! We can cleanse and replenish at the same time – a dual process of nutritional cleansing, you may say!

There are transformational evidences of nutritional cleansing which include – energy levels rise, mental clarity increases, mood swings level out and hope is renewed. But that’s not all. Lean muscle mass increases, while extra fat and water are no longer necessary. It is not uncommon for people to need a whole new wardrobe after only a month or two of nutritional cleansing. With nutritional cleansing, the body’s own healing power is liberated and lives seem to be changed at a very deep level.

It is often difficult for people to believe this is possible. But studies have shown that the synergy of high-quality easily absorbable protein, essential fatty acids, low-glycerin carbohydrates, vitamins, macro-minerals and ionic trace minerals, fiber, good bacteria, enzymes, naturally occurring folic acid, healing and cleansing herbs and generous amounts of high quality water combined with moderate caloric restriction and the avoidance of foods that tend to trigger an inflammatory response produce these amazing results.

Suggestions for Effective Nutritional Cleansing

Use a protein powder that is undernatured and that comes from grass fed cows as a good protein source. This will ensure maximum bio-availability and effectiveness. Make sure you are getting plenty of essential fatty acids. Monitor the quality and quantity of your carbohydrate intake by keeping your carbohydrate intake by keeping your carbohydrate count between 100 and 150 grams per day of the following foods – all green vegetables, beans, berries, apples and small amounts of whole grains (if you are not sensitive to them), and sweet potatoes. These low-moderate glycerin carbohydrates will help to re-establish proper insulin response. Drink at least one ounce of water per day for every two pounds of body weight. Consider supplementing with a good multiple vitamins and mineral and vitamin supplement that includes enzymes and beneficial bacteria. Include herbs that are known for their cleansing properties. A good one is Aloe vera. Make sure you are getting at least 20-25 grams a day of a blend of soluble and insoluble fiber. This will help to ensure proper elimination of what your body is released. Use a blender to make your life easier as many nutritious and good tasting meals can be made easily and quickly with the help of a blender.
