Periodic cleansing is always a great idea…so why not now?? Twice a year is ideal so I like to do a little extra detox in the spring and fall. Always ease into it! Start off with a few small changes…drink more water, eat less sugar, add in some good hardy greens and fiber-rich foods, avoid alcohol, get moving, get outside, and don’t forget to breathe. Any small changes you make will have a great impact on how you feel and it could keep motivated to going!!
Healthy eating needs to be a way of life. Realistic and sustainable.
Simply put a diet is made up of food choices that should feed and nourish our bodies but where it gets tricky is making the right food choices to satisfy the particular needs of our own body. Whole foods eaten in moderation and with lots of variety is always a great place to start.
I believe our ancestors had a better understanding of food, not just the tastes and aromas of food but the effects it had on our bodies and overall health. They spent more time around food, learning about all the aspects of food from their elders, something that was passed down from one generation to the next. I’m a product of that philosophy.
If we can incorporate some of the healthy foods I mentioned in the kidneys, liver and fiber blog on a regular basis then we are always cleansing &/or detoxing our bodies which is what it’s designed to do.
‘Don’t we get enough fiber in our diet?’ One of the first questions I’m asked when the subject of fiber comes up. Short answer: Only if you’re eating whole foods do you get enough fiber on a daily basis.
