Spring has arrived! Just when you thought winter would never end, the winds change, a bird chirps and a crocus begins to emerge from the garden. In nature, spring is a time of rejuvenation and renewal. It is an optimal time for us to shake off the toxins our bodies have built up during winter and start anew.
Toxins and free radicals cause us to age more quickly. They affect our appearance and our moods. They cause feelings of sluggishness and zap our energy stores. More importantly, toxins and chemicals in our bodies contribute to conditions such as heart disease and colon cancer while interfering with essential functions like digestion. Cleansing gently helps to alleviate this and improve our immunity.
It’s important to drink and eat foods that support digestion, circulation and elimination when cleansing. These processes help to assimilate necessary nutrients and move toxins out of the body. Sweating is another key element in cleansing. Impurities carried out in our sweat further lessen the burden of detoxification by our organs. Try some of these suggestions to begin your spring cleanse. Now is the time for your own personal rejuvenation.
