Many times cleansing is touted as a way to just get attention...
Me? This is my first official cleanse. I've read quite a bit about cleanses and have determined this is the best way "for me" to tackle cleansing my body of the toxic yuck.
What toxic yuck?
*Sugar--this particular item reaks havoc on your brain and your body. Google the affects of sugar on your body.
*Processed Food--This particular item is artificial ingredients, man made, machine made or otherwise that are unnatural. These things cling to your colon and need a good scrubbing!
*Anything that is synthetic medications--We'll discuss this more at length in the future, but suffice it to say that anti-biotics mess with your colon, disrupting the healthy bacteria that needs to live there to help you thrive.
So, what do I buy?
You're going to see some usual "I thought so" kinds of things, but bear with me.
*Kale--This nutrient dense food has been used on salad bars as a garnish for years. It's truly one of those foods that are super high in fiber and wonderful vitamins. But why kale of all things? The wonderful stems in the kale contain cellulose that acts like a toothbrush in our colons to scrub the gunk!
Like with kale...
*Spinach--specifically baby spinach. The larger spinach is more bitter in my opinion and makes things taste not so good. And, yes, because it's Popeye's favorite food! LOL It's got some wonderful iron and vitamins as well as cellulose.
*Carrots, celery, apples, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries...all things to sweeten smoothies and add more cellulose and vitamins.
*Collagen because it contains protein and wonderful things to help your skin, hair and nails.
There will likely be more added, and I will update after a few days to let you know all that I feel and am going through.
Why am I doing this?
I'm clearing out the affects of 2 rounds of anti-biotics in June and July from my colon. I've covered the items I'm using as supplements in Preparing for a Cleanse, so I'll encourage you to read that.
Also, all health for our bodies begins in the gut. If our colons are not clean and balanced, then we're going to be sick more. If you have some time, and are interested, look up on Youtube "Unhealthy Colonoscopy Videos" and see what you see.
I'm going to begin this on Wednesday of this week. I don't expect to lose weight from this, but anything is possible. I'll update and let everyone know how things go next Monday.
