Holiday Cleansing by Russ Marchewka
It’s that time of year again, the Holidays!
Definitely a fun time of year with lots of friends, family, food, drink and good times. I’d like to throw out a recommendation. You don’t think that I’d stay silent about trying to make one of the un-healthiest times of the year just a bit healthier did you?
So obviously with all the food and celebrating at this time of year it is hard to commit to being healthy through it all. Why do you think that the flu season is in full swing around the holidays? It’s not a “seasonal” illness. you can get the flu any time of year. In fact the “flu season” is during the summer in the Southern hemisphere. Why is that? Holidays! Everybody is knocking down their systems with unhealthy food, alcohol and partying that your immune system isn’t strong enough to fight off the everyday bugs that attack you.
I’d like to make a suggestion this year.
BEFORE the holidays start, get ready to do a cleanse. As in, go out now and get a cleanse system to get ready to start right after the holidays are over. Don’t wait until after you’ve spent all your money on partying and presents. Don’t wait until the new year to do something. Go out now and purchase a cleanse system.
There are many different kinds. I haven’t tried very many of them so I won’t recommend any that i haven’t tried. I’ve done the Ultimate Energy Cleanse and am currently doing the Yerba Prima Men’s Rebuild Internal Cleanse (the also have one for women). They are very different. The UE Cleanse is a week-long strict diet designed to heavily detox with herbs and juices and can be quite hard to handle. Although getting toxins out of your system will leave you feeling amazing. I have been doing the Yerba Prima cleanse for 5 days now. It’s designed to work with your regular diet, although I feel better about doing it while I am eating healthy so I am not eating any fried foods or processed foods, trying now to have any alcohol or caffeine while I am doing it. I feel good so far doing it and it looks like it’s designed to last between 2 weeks and a month depending on how heavy you go with the cleansing pills.
There is another type of daily cleanse that I absolutely recommend this holiday season. Do it in the morning right when you wake up. The master cleanse is designed to alkalize your system in the morning and flush out many of the toxins accumulated while you sleep. See our body begins to detox when it’s not burdened with the stress of digesting food or drinks. The longest un-interrupted stretch for this is while we sleep. It’s important to get these toxins out of your body as quickly as possible in the morning so they don’t re-absorb. The master cleanse (1 lemon, 1 tbsp grade B maple syrup, pinch of cayenne pepper) blend together with 16-32 oz. water. Do this as many days a week as you can and you’ll help your body out tremendously.
Here’s to a happy and healthy(er) holiday season!
