Story behind detox<br />

We live in an increasingly toxic world and<br />

we’re exposed to countless chemicals,<br />

carcinogens and contaminants every day.<br />

The immune system can only handle so<br />

much before it begins to weaken and break<br />

down, leaving us susceptible to all sorts of<br />

illnesses, chronic conditions, and degenerative<br />

diseases.<br />

These days, good foods, nutritional supplementation,<br />

exercise, and sleep are all<br />

part of a healthy lifestyle. To optimize and<br />

boost health even further we must also<br />

cleanse ourselves on a regular basis in order<br />

to remain healthy, vibrant and resilient.<br />

When we eat, the majority of our body’s<br />

energy goes towards digesting that<br />

food and when we go on a cleanse we are<br />

giving our bodies a break. If you are trying<br />

to lose weight or get your diet off to<br />

the right start then a cleanse is a wonderful<br />

way to break away from unhealthy eating<br />

habits and give your body a clean<br />

slate to work from.<br />

Juices furnish the body with live enzymes<br />

and bioactive vitamins, minerals,<br />

and trace minerals that are heavily reduced<br />

when a food is cooked. The juices bring an<br />

alkaline force into the body that helps<br />

neutralize the toxic acidity that we have<br />

as a result of our modern diets.<br />

Daily, weekly and monthly cleansing<br />

practices have been around for thousands<br />

of years, and are an integral part of a healthy<br />

lifestyle.
