You Really CAN Detox Fat Away!

Detox Toxic Fat 

When you remove toxins, you will lose weight and feel better. Fat soluble toxins are more difficult to remove than water-soluble toxins that can be flushed from the body easily. Fat-soluble toxins include heavy metals, pesticides, preservatives, food additives, pollutants, plastics and other environmental chemicals. They must become water-soluble for the body to eliminate them completely. These toxins get stored mostly in the fat cells and the liver. With toxins stored in the fat cells, it is difficult to lose weight. The body will hold onto the fat as much as possible to protect your delicate tissues and organs. If the pathways of elimination such as the intestinal tract or the lymphatic system are not functioning optimally, this makes it even harder to get the toxins out of the body. If your diet is deficient in fiber, up to 94% of the bile – along with its toxic baggage – gets reabsorbed back to the liver to be recycled.

Detox or Die

Detox or Die

What causes disease? It comes down to two things: an overload of toxins and deficiency of nutrients. If we keep cleansing our bodies and feeding them superior nutrition like we get from fresh vegetable juices, we have an excellent chance of staying healthy.

Want to avoid fall sniffles? Some health practitioners say that if you cleanse with the seasons, you won’t get sick. This is your opportunity to clean out the toxins before the holidays season is upon us. Cleansing your body not only helps you flush away the toxins, you can flush away fat too.

Souping for Detox

Souping for Detox

Where has the time gone? I LOVE summer. It’s my favorite time of year. It goes by much too quickly and it’s slipping away too fast now. I’m trying to squeeze enjoyment from the last days of this sunny, warm time of year.

With fall approaching and my 30-Day Detox beginning the second week of September, you may want to consider adding soup to your detox regimen. I have the answer. My new book SOUPING IS THE NEW JUICING is almost here. Get a copy of my book and you can try the new soups for detox along with the juices in the 30-Day Detox program. Start off with Colon Cleanse Green Soup.

30-Day Detox/Liver Flush

30-Day Detox/Liver Flush

Our stressful carb-filled lives cause abuse to the liver and overtax it.  Illness or disease are inevitable if we don’t cleanse and rejuvenate this hard working organ.To rebuild and repair the liver, it’s imperative that we:

• Remove excess fat from the liver
• Support the flow of bile
• Flush out the toxins that have been stored in the liver
• Dissolve or pass stones that are stored in the liver (yes the liver can get stones just like the gallbladder)
• Regenerate damaged liver cells

Wild Foods and Liver Detoxification

Wild Foods and Liver Detoxification

Spring has sprung, as they say. Wild herbs are poking their heads through the ground, and some are up waving at the sky. Wild grown greens and herbs offer us some of the most cleansing, medicinal, and nutrient-dense foods we could find. And they are free! Here are some characteristics of wild foods:

• They are organic, clean, resilient, resistant to diseases, and nutrient and antioxidant rich.
• They are often grown in rich soils and have greater access to and quality of nutrients
• They come in a variety of species and offer a wide variety of nutrients.
• They have a diversity of flavor—bitter, pungent, sour, bland, sweet, and salty.
• They are time-tested—wild plants have been used for thousands of years.
• They have enzyme systems and mechanisms for optimal digestion.
• Our human genome (inherited genetic information) is responsive to wild foods.
• They follow cycles and rhythms of nature, like our bodies.
• They cleanse and nourish our bodies and support optimal health.
• Specific plants cleanse and support specific organs.

Toxic Thoughts = Damaged Liver?

Can Toxic Thoughts Harm Your Liver?

By detoxifying your physical body, you begin a process that will help you cleanse and transform your thoughts and emotions as well. As you pour fresh live juices and veggie smoothies into your body, they will push out toxic substances that have been stored in tissues, fluids, and cells.  Emotions attached to toxic substances often surface when you cleanse, especially during a liver cleanse. You can assist this process by allowing old thought patterns and emotions to come into full consciousness during detoxification and then release them and let them go. Sometimes, you may need to “dig up”  others and release them so you can be free.
