the cleanse
toxic holiday???
join kat as she has committed to a two week cleanse and is offering her support to those that would like to take on the challenge.
why a cleanse?
it takes a lot to break down food, keep all the organs and systems running, and deal with stress. The body doesn't have the luxury of putting everything else on hold so that it can tend to the deeper issues of processing and releasing stored toxins, extra fat, and waste that have accumulated over the years. when you put certain foods on the back burner for a bit, your body has a reprieve from its normal everyday chore of digesting difficult things, and it can really dig into that much-needed heavier work.
with a cleanse your body can tend to the stored up junk, artificial flavors, synthetic coloring agents, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides....just to name a few of the regularly consumed toxins. these toxins along with environmental pollution and complex medicinal drugs are often stored in fatty and other tissues impairing the body to function at its optimal level.
increased energy, better digestion, and relief from headaches, muscle aches, and joint pain are just a few of the known benefits.
a cleanse can be physical, mental, & emotional.....it is a great way to release yourself of codependencies and start the new year off with sheer and utter confidence.
the cleanse: avoid....
.sugar
.alcohol
.caffeine
