Energy Detox VIP – Commentary
Hello, this is AJ. Welcome to this month’s commentary. This is actually a very interesting
topic to me personally, detoxification, cleansing is another way you can describe it, but
it’s all about getting the bad junk out of our bodies. So in past lessons on health and
energy I’ve talked about things you can do to get good nutrients into your body, simple
things like juicing and other things like that. We’ve talked about moving our bodies.
Everyone knows that exercise is good for you, but detoxing is often neglected.
It’s an often neglected topic because, let’s face it, it doesn’t have such a fun, pleasant
kind of feeling, you know Oh, I’ve got all this toxic junk in my body and I gotta get it out.
That sounds kind of yucky. It sounds kind of gross or unpleasant to a lot of people, for
example, my mom. I talk about my mom a lot when I talk about these health topics,
because she has struggled with health for most of her life and I’m always trying to
encourage her to get healthier.
One thing that I noticed is that my mom really, really, really is not interested in this topic
of detoxification, not interested in cleanings, because it sounds kind of yucky, right
‘Yucky’ means you know gross or unpleasant. So if we think about drinking fresh
vegetable juice, oh that sounds nice. You know drink some apple juice, carrot juice, um,
yummy. It sounds nice, it sounds pleasant, but if you talk about cleansing what are we
talking about We’re talking about sweating a lot, right Sweat pouring out of our
bodies.
There are a lot of people out there who don’t like that idea, like my mom, for example.
She doesn’t like sweating a lot and, yet, that’s exactly what you need to do to get that
stuff out of your body, to get those toxic chemicals and all the other accumulated junk
out of your bodies. I mean we gotta get it out in some way. Well, how do things come
out of our bodies Well, sweat is a big one. Our bodies eliminate toxins through sweat.
It’s a major organ, a major channel of elimination for our bodies.
What are the other channels of elimination Well, you can pee. You can urinate, right
Or you can shit, just to use the common phrase. If you want to sound polite, you could
say defecate; to defecate. That sounds scientific and very polite, but it’s not what we
commonly say. We commonly say, you know, to shit. It can be used as a verb. So,
obviously, you can tell. If you just use the word ‘to shit’, some people oh, that’s not
polite, right It’s gross, yucky stuff coming out your butt. You’re peeing, you know It’s
not something people like to talk about, peeing. Pooping is another polite way to say it.
Instead of to shit, you can say to poop. That’s probably the more polite way to say it, so
I’ll use that one from now on in this commentary.
