Cleansing.

Because my training doesn't officially start until Monday I thought I would use these next few days to talk about some key points on staying healthy. 

Today: Cleansing.

Do you ever feel tired? Overweight? Bloated? Dehydrated??? Breaking out?
Most probably can answer yes to at least one of those. Those are toxins!!!

I feel that it is so important to cleanse your body. From the busyness of lifestyle today, less sleep, fast food, & even the air we breathe we are bound to need a good cleanse. We are exposed to so many toxins that get in the way of losing weight or just maintaining weight & having energy. Toxins are anything that causes a negative affect on your body.

So what does a cleanse actually do? 

No, it does not cause you to camp out in your bathroom for a week, however, it does clean your system out. It is getting rid of toxins while eating clean foods so that you stop craving the bad foods. It helps you with your energy level, weight loss, aging, etc. When I talk about this I always think about that old commercial where everyone is what they eat... remember? Everyone has big donuts around their waste?? You are what you crave. So true. When you cleanse you get rid of those bad toxins that cause those cravings & start replacing them with the clean foods. Maybe if we did a commercial on cleansing everyone would be broccoli??? Towards the end & especially after the cleanse you begin to realize that you don't crave well for me.. donuts, diet coke, bread, chick-fil-a just to name a few :) The first few days you might have a headache because you body is in shock & trying to get rid of those toxins but usually by 3rd & 4th day you start to feel GREAT!  You are suppose to cleanse your body at least twice a year.... when was the last time you have done a detox/cleanse? 

(Note: Best time to do a cleanse is before starting a workout program. Also, be sure to consult a doctor if you are unsure on your health conditions in order to do a cleanse)

Here is a list of the cleanses I have done in the past:

*One way to help your body cleanse daily is to drink 1/2 your weight in ounces of water. This will also help you lose weight & will keep you hydrated properly.
