“Everyone has a physician inside him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.”
– Hippocrates
Many people may not realize that the body has its own extraordinary internal detoxification system. So, why do we need to do a cleanse?
Every religion recommends fasting, and monks are recommended to eat once daily. Aside from the spiritual reasons behind these recommendations, there also is a health benefit.
When we fast, our digestive system gets a rest. The other organs that are involved in detoxification also get a rest.
When do we allow our organs to rest, so they can properly detox and cleanse?
When we:
– Eliminate foods that are toxins and allergens.
– Drink green smoothies. A green smoothie is blended by the blender, so our system has less work to digest our breakfast.
– Eat whole foods.
– Supplement our diet with probiotics, vitamins, and minerals.
– Do not eat 3 hours before bedtime. While we sleep, our digestive system can rest.
– Lower our stress. Stress hormones make our organs work harder and may cause higher heart rate, increased appetite, and sleep disorder.
– Express gratitude upon rising in the morning. Positive thinking reduces stress.
With the “we at FLOW” 10-Day Nourish Cleanse, we do not fast. We eat when we feel hungry.
