Do the same between noon and mid-afternoon or mid-afternoon and evening, depending on which meal you replace with your second shake. You might find your hunger is satisfied better with this routine!

Nourish Your Body With Herbal Tea!
Cleansing Secret #15 Did you know?
The human body requires 90 nutrients including essential fatty acids, amino acids, 60 minerals and 16 vitamins, to make healthy cells? Minerals are so important that if we don’t get the minerals we need, our bodies can’t absorb vitamins effectively!
Cleansing Secret #16 Herbal Teas
Many herbs make a gentle healing drink – tisane or tea - that you can enjoy every day. Herbs contain important vitamins and minerals that can enhance your nutrition and cleansing experience.
• For teas that heal gently, or are mild enough to be enjoyed just for the taste…
o Marjoram soothes stomach cramps.
o Sage stimulates digestion, relieves flatulence, a well-known cold and flu fighter. Sage can help prevent and resolve night sweats and hot flashes.
o Hyssop is used to promote perspiration to reduce fever and eliminate toxins through the skin. Hyssop also acts as a carminative and digestive aid, relieving flatulence and relaxing the digestive system. This versatile herb is also a nervine, which calms anxiety.
o Peppermint is used a gentle morning stimulant hot drink that’s rich in iron.
o Lavender has calming effects that helps relieve stress, fatigue, headache and insomnia. Drinking a cup of Lavender tea before going to bed is known to promote restful sleep. This herb blends well with mint leaves.
o Lemonbalm is a sunshine- loving perennial herb that’s when made into tea will calm the digestive tract, ease insomnia, relieve fever, fight viral illness, ease headaches and menstrual cramps. It’s gentle enough to treat nervous tummy upsets in children. It is an excellent herb to relieve gas and spasms in the digestive tract. Shred 1 tbsp fresh leaves or measure 1 teaspoon dried herbs and add to teapot. Pour 8 ounces boiling water over herbs. Let steep 10 minutes. Strain and enjoy!
• To make medicinal herbal tea: Place 3 Tbsp dried, or twice as much fresh herbs in a warm glass or ceramic container. Bring 2.5 cups of fresh, non-chlorinated water to the boiling point, and add it to the herbs. Cover and infuse the tea for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and drink warm. The prepared tea will store for about two days if kept in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator.
• Note: You can buy loose herbs at some natural food stores that are far less expensive that the packaged herbs sold in boxes of 10 or 20 tea bags!! Select a tea infuser of your choice, available at kitchen supply stores.
