Spring-Clean Your Body Through a Cleanse Take Out the Trash
The best way to get that boost is to develop a cleanse or detox and a nutrition plan that works for your body. If you’re not ready to commit to a full-blown cleanse, start slow. Eliminate all caffeinated, carbonated, and sugary drinks from your diet, and stick to water and natural, homemade fruit juices. For extra flavor and a supercharger for your liver, add a squeeze of lemon to your liquids. By making this little switch, your body will get the extra push it needs to flush out and eliminate toxins. Keep in mind that pairing this practice with a healthful, fresh diet can go a long way in boosting your body’s natural filtration system. During this process, you can also develop new habits. At NJIB, we understand finding a wellness plan that works for you can be complex. If you or someone you know need a healthful boost to spring- clean their body, we can help. Call 201-339-1109 or visit NJIB.org to find out how.
Your body is miraculous, and every day it’s performing feats without your knowledge. Some of the strongest organs are your liver, kidneys, and skin. These parts are designed to clear your body of all the toxins that clog its system. Unfortunately, sometimes people are not great at helping their bodies with this process. The air, foods, and drinks we consume can be littered with so much junk that it can be impossible for these systems to work properly. Think of these organs like the filter on your air conditioner. When all of the dust, allergens, and dander clog the filter, your air conditioner has to work harder. The more effort it takes to run this machine, the more likely it is to break down.
The same can be said for your body. While it does a great job of cleaning out all the garbage on its own, it needs a boost from you in two ways:
• Don’t consume or be immersed in the garbage.
• Set it up for future success when it needs to release the garbage.
