Help Your Body Detoxify!

Cleansing Secret #1 Have a Great Morning!
Morning is the body's natural cleansing time. Start every day with two glasses of water (filtered or spring), one glass with half a lemon squeezed into it. This helps...
- Hydrate your body
- Alkalize your body due to the high mineral content in lemon juice (potassium, calcium, magnesium and trace minerals) Lemon juice is acidic in your mouth, but has an alkalizing effect in your body.
- make you feel energized
- stimulate digestion
- increase saliva flow
- keep your bowel function regular
- gently cleanse your liver to release congestion and toxins after your overnight fast
Lemon juice helps to lessen the water's surface tension, which more effectively re-hydrates your cells. At the same time it increases your oxygen absorption since most people are deprived of adequate oxygen at the cellular level.

Cleansing Secret #2 Keep on drinkin' - Water that is!
Drink water continuously all day, or take 2-3 glasses of purified water 30 to 60 minutes before each meal and early in the evening to help flush toxins and keep your brain power sharp!

Cleansing Secret #3 - Have a good night!
Choose not to eat anything after dinner as your body prepares for rest and renewal overnight. Drink only water and herbal teas such as peppermint, chamomile, pau d'arco or nighttime blends. These teas are available at natural food stores - loose or in bags.
