No Comments »Help Detoxify Your Body With Colon Cleansing And Food
January 31st, 2010 admin Cleaning the colon is very important for overall health of a person thus having a clean colon and digestive system that works efficiently is imperative. The colon is the last organ of the digestive system and its job is to consume salt and water from the waste that is left behind before they are eliminated from the body. If you don’t have at least 1 bowel movement per day, you are already walking your way toward disease.
Many of these toxins come from our diet, drug use, and environmental exposure, both acute and chronic. Internally, fats, especially oxidized fats and cholesterol, free radicals, and other irritants act as toxins. Poor digestion, colon sluggishness and dysfunction, reduced liver function, and poor elimination through the kidneys, respiratory tract, and skin all add to increased toxicity. By helping the body detoxify with colon cleansing and eating certain foods, the body will soon become less virulent.
A colon that cannot perform these functions properly, due to deep-seated fecal matter creates extra toxins that spread across the body through the absorbed fluids. Disease usually begins with a toxic bowel. Those having fewer bowel movements are harboring a potentially fertile breeding ground for serious diseases.
One of the most frequent bowel problems that people experience today is constipation. Infrequent or poor quality bowel movements over an extended period of time may be very hazardous to your health. Constipation, gas, skin and hair issues are a few of the symptoms of an unclean colon.
Did you know that the average person on a typical American diet holds 8 meals of UNDIGESTED food and waste material in the colon, while the person on the high fiber diet holds only 3?
Whatever we eat, good or bad our body reflects it. It is important we eat healthy diet, a diet with lots of fiber preferably 20-35 grams every day. Drinking lots of water and eating foods such as fresh vegetable and fruits, legumes, fish, beans, seeds, whole grains, bananas, apples, as well as herbs such as psyllium husk, aloe leaf, senna, cascara sagrada, ginger, and cayenne pepper help to eliminate impurities from the colon by stimulating bowel movements. A high fiber diet supports a healthy digestive track of your body by cleaning debris from the colon. Fennel and garlic have a wonderful purifying effect on the colon bacteria, as they help kill harmful bacteria as well as helps to prevent gas accumulation.
Eliminating foods such as caffeine, alcohol, processed food (including any bread), pre-made or canned food, salt, sugar, wheat, red meat, pork, fried and deep fried food, yellow cheese, cream, butter and margarine, shortening, etc… should be the first steps taken when deciding to do a colon cleanse.
Probiotics are exceptionally good for the health; probiotic is the friendly bacteria that improves the digestive track and also improves the immune system. Probiotics are 100% safe and you can find them in probiotic dairy products and other foods as well or buy them in capsule form at your local health food store. It’s very wise to load up on probiotics especially after a colon cleanse because these healthy bacteria in your colon are lost through the detox process.
Foods that contain probiotics:
- Yogurt
- Some soft cheeses
- Artichokes
- Oats (also lowers cholesterol)
- Honey
- Goat’s milk
A highly restrictive detox such as Water fasting or the Master Cleanse need to be done properly and for no longer than 10 days. Doing so may result in nutrient deficiencies. A particular concern is lack of protein, which may result in wasting away muscle tissue, due to insufficient amino acids for repairing the body.
Ultimately you are the best judge of your needs when it’s time to colon cleanse. Listen to your body. Generally, those who are not in the best of health and/or have never cleansed before, will find they need to cleanse more frequently (maximum – once every 2–3 months), then return to a yearly or twice yearly maintenance program of colon cleansing. It’s always good to consult your healthcare provider before taking any course of action.

Avoid empty calorie foods. This includes most alcoholic drinks. Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram compared to 9 calories per gram for fat and 4 calories per gram for carbs.
Luckily, with the currently technology, medical scientists found a way to induce our body to produce more HGH naturally. A number of HGH releasers are available in the market in the form of injectables. This early form did not really gain much popularity mainly because they were expensive.
People should therefore seek to improve their dietary intake of beneficial sources of nutrition and limit their intake of the more commonly eaten foods which are known to be more harmful to the body than their unprocessed counterparts.
Scientists have discovered, and thoroughly tested a method to allow us to eat the foods we love and not gain weight. We can now stop the normal conversion of starchy foods to sugar before it can pass through our digestive system and store as fat on our hips, thighs, buttocks and stomach.

Body Scrub
January 30th, 2010 admin Brown sugar is full of molasses which makes it brown and moist. Its grains are smaller than of regular, white sugar which makes it a perfect exfoliant. It is not too harsh on the skin, it is gentle and easily sloughs off dead skin cells. It smells great, warms the skin up, and leaves it smooth and luscious.
A body scrub entails using a granular substance mixed with a specific liquid with essential oils which will cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate by removing dead skin cells and moisturizing the skin. The primary base of the body scrub is usually Dead Sea salt, Epson salt, sugar, or baking soda generally mixed with massage oil, essential oils, honey, milk or milk-like product.
Homemade foot scrub recipes come with different ingredients. Each has to have an exfoliating agent: sea salt, brown sugar, Epsom salt, oatmeal. Each one also has to have a relaxing and soothing ingredient that calms the skin down and prevents any possible irritations.
Even slathering on layers of moisturizers may not adequately hydrate your skin. Infusing your skin with long-lasting moisture could be a matter of timing. For example, smoothing your skin with moisture-trapping humectants like jojoba oil while your skin is slightly wet helps your chosen moisturizer keep your skin hydrated longer.
Add one and a half cup of Epsom salt to the jar. Next, slowly pour in one cup of oil. Stir the mixture. Next mix in the glycerin. Feel free to adjust the level of oils and salt in your body scrub to suit your personal preferences.
Body scrubs are the answer to all you dry skin woes! Once you get that dry skin sloughed off, your moisturizer will work better. Not to mention it gets your circulation going and your skin will look brighter with that dull dry skin removed.
Making your own scrubs and soaps is another option which doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. I’ve included some terrific, simple recipes here for you to try. A little extra TLC and time in the bath can not only improve the look and health of your skin, it can also help to reduce stress and improve your overall health.
Body scrubs are made of salts or sugars (white and/or brown) and natural oils such as olive oil, cocoa butter or, if you want a moisturizing effect, sweet almond oil. Body scrubs provide a gentle means of exfoliating the skin and can help to increase circulation. Yes indeed, there is more to a body scrub than meets the eye and, if you want to, you can make your own wonderful body scrubs at home.
This a treatment that my clients love. The foot scrub is usually used at the end of the pedicure, but it can be applied while you’re in the shower to get soft and attractive feet in a hurry. Simply take a handful or scrub, massage it all over the top and soles of your feet and rinse.
A carrier oil is what gives the scrub its lubrication quality. You can choose from grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, or avocado oil. Each oil has its own properties, so research and experiment to see what is right for you.
What The Body Goes Through During A Cleanse or Detox
January 30th, 2010 admin No two people are alike. The frequency, severity of the symptoms you’ll encounter during a cleanse or detox will be completely different from anyone else’s. You can’t really compare yourself to others. Once you get through a cleanse you’ll be so happy knowing you gave your body, mind and spirit a wonderful gift…you’ve only got one body so take good care of it.
When anyone goes through any sort of a cleansing period or detox your body is going to go through some changes, some would go as far to call it a crises otherwise known as The Herxheimer Reaction (Herx). This reaction occurs when large quantities of toxins are released into the body due to detoxification.
The more toxins there are to eliminate the more severe the affects will be during the detox or cleansing process. No matter how mild or severe, the reaction is an indication that the process of cleansing and detoxification is working and that your body is cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances.
Reactions may occur immediately others within several days or not till even several weeks later.
Once a detox has been started you may feel worse and therefore think that the treatment is not working but it’s quite the opposite, these reactions are signs that the treatment IS working. The faster it’s able to do that, the faster you’ll feel much better.
Some people will feel cold/flu or hangover like symptoms during the first few days of “housecleaning” because your body is purging toxins into the blood stream for elimination but usually pass in a few days. On rare occasions, they may last several weeks. This is the point at which many people stop a detox but know that these symptoms should be only temporary lasting only a few days to a week.
There’s a wide variety of reactions that could manifest during a cleanse/detox, the most common are:
Cold or flu-like symptoms
Diarrhea
Extreme fatigue/restlessness
Cramps
Headache
Aches, Pains
Arthritic flair up
Insomnia
Nausea
Sinus congestion
Fever/chills
Frequent urination and/or urinary tract discharges
Drop in blood pressure
Skin eruptions, including: boils, hives, and rashes.
Mood swings
Anxiety
The best way to get rid of these symptoms is to drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and no sugar added fruit juices to help the body eliminate released toxins. Avoid overeating during , eating only light meals that are easy digested.
You may notice while going through the cleansing process that it may bring about past conditions. People often forget the diseases or injuries they have had in the past, but are usually reminded during a cleanse, this is also very normal.
It’s important to be kind and really nurture yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically. Meditation and light exercise such as yoga can help to manage some of these symptoms. Massages, you may find to be also beneficial. Ultimately you are the best judge of your body, listen to it.
When the cleansing process is over, you’ll feel more energized, light and healthier than you have in a long, long time. Your body will thank you!
Always ensure your health by having a thorough medical check up, consult your healthcare provider BEFORE taking any course of action!
Happy cleansing!
