Why your body needs help

Over the last 50 years, our diets, lifestyles, and environment have changed dramatically, placing a huge burden on our eliminative systems. Diets centered on refined foods, meat, and dairy products have left our colons clogged and often unable to self cleanse. Most of us walk around with toxins circulating in our bloodstream at all times. No wonder we feel tired, sick, overweight, and generally uninspired! Greater stresses, rushed lifestyles and lack of exercise have also taken their toll. And every day, our polluted planet bombards us with more pesticides, pollutants, and toxic waste than our livers can neutralize.

Here are 13 common symptoms of toxicity:
   Headaches
    Skin problems
    Bad breath or body odor
    Candida overgrowth
    Depression
    Mental dullness or poor memory
    Low energy
    Stomach bloat or gas
    Poor digestion
    Weight gain or unnecessary weight loss
    Constipation
    Premature aging
    Illness & degenerative disease

When to cleanse

Cleanse with the seasons, four times a year, especially in the spring and fall! Mark your calendar for the first two weeks of January, April, July and October. After a long winter of heavy foods, people traditionally have collected wild foods like dandelion leaves and nettles in the spring to help detoxify and lighten their systems. Fall is an ideal time to purify your system one last time before winter's cold and flu season. A mini-cleanse or juices fast one weekend a month can also help keep you clean inside.
