Fasting, Cleansing & Detox your mind & body

CLEANSE AND DETOXIFY

Nowadays, toxins can be found in almost everywhere- in your food, water, air or even in your skin. Which is why it takes a toll in our body and there’s a need for us to cleanse and detoxify. 

Many people go through fastings for religion purposes. 

 

I'm starting my own Cleanse for health reasons. Day 1 has began. 

Be inspired to learn about why doing a cleanse is vital.

What are the causes of excess free radicals?

Free radicals are not harmful, this is a by-product of your body. When they are in excessive amounts, that’s when you have a problem. You see about 98% per cent of the oxygen humans breathe combines with hydrogen and leaves the body as water (H2O) without causing problems. Around 2% of the oxygen atoms humans breathe loses an electron during metabolism, becoming a free radical. Humans breathe in around 7.2 kg or oxygen per day meaning that 0.144 kg become free radicals. Another cause of excess free radicals are: 

• Alcohol

• Breathing

• Burnt food

• Charcoal cooking

• Excessive exercise (normal exercise does not have this effect)

• Excessive medications

• Food additives

• Fried food

• Fungicides, herbicides and pesticides

• Infections

• Irradiated food

• Overheated food

• Ozone

• Polluted environments

• Radon

• Radiation

• Smoking tobacco

• Stress

• Sunbathing

• The process of metabolism and cell respiration

• Ultraviolet lights

You can see from this list that many people will be producing far too many free radicals for the normal body processes to cope with, so they need to be sure that they take in enough foods with antioxidant abilities to de-activate these excess free radicals. That is why it’s important to cleanse and detoxify.

It is also important to cleanse your liver as it’s the main organ who cleanses and detoxifies our blood from toxins, chemicals and excess free radicals. 

DAILY MORNING LIVER CLEANSER

 

The liver has one of the first stop jobs of sorting through the food and toxins that are ingested. It can regenerate itself if minor damage from excessive toxins occurs but eventually it will get clogged and overworked which is when food stops being digested properly and the rest of the system is affected. The following will clean it up so it can do its job.

These ingredients together taken in a glass of warm water first thing in the morning, before eating or drinking anything else, will detoxify and clean the liver.

• Lemon or lime juice (half freshly squeezed)

• Apple cider vinegar (one tablespoon)

• Honey (one to two teaspoons)

• Turmeric powder (quarter or a teaspoon)

• Cinnamon powder, (pinch)

• Chilli pepper powder (pinch)

When Cleansing, it’s also important to do some light exercises. A lack of physical activity can lead to poor circulation of our blood and lymph fluid which will have a negative effect to our body.
