January is a great time to start the New Year right and treat your body to a cleanse, detox and fast Elixir. After the typical holiday season over indulgence of foods, deserts and libations the body and especially the digestive organs are in need of some TLC. An excellent way to help eliminate excess accumulated waste products and toxins and also give the digestive system a much needed rest is to do a simple cleanse, detox and fast. This is very easy and simple to do during a normal weekend. However it is even more beneficial if you can set aside three or four days. After all, many people let themselves over do it for three or four months so three of four days is a small investment to make to maintain your body, mind and spirit.
Before the two or more days you plan to conduct your liquid fast be sure you have the following items available. You will need a blender, some grapefruit, lemons or limes, oranges, fresh ginger root, powder Super Greens, powder cayenne pepper and honey or stevia for sweetener. For a weekend cleanse it is important to eat healthy meals on Friday such as fruits for breakfast, salad and vegetables for lunch and soup for dinner.
To prepare your liquid cleanse, detox and fast Elixir on Saturday and Sunday follow this recipe: Peel the grapefruit, oranges, lemon or limes. In a blender with 3 cups water add 1 grapefruit, 1 orange, 1 lemon or lime, 1/2 inch piece of ginger root, 1 tsp. powder Mega Greens, 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, 2 -3 Tbs. honey or pinch of stevia to sweeten. Blend on high until everything turns to a thin liquid. Drink this great tasting liquid Elixir throughout the day. Feel free to have as much as your body craves. After starting with a basic program many people find it very beneficial to also use all natural detoxing formulas, herbs and teas during their future cleanse, detox and fast routines.
Be sure to slow down and go easy during the cleanse, detox and fast. If you feel a bit uncomfortable or under the weather, that is most likely a sign you may be detoxing some of the unhealthy things you put in your body during the year. Make sure you get some extra rest and also consider using some calcium bentonite clay disolved in water to help neutralize and remove the toxins. Plan time to enjoy some of the following soothing activities: a clay facial, detoxing clay and aromatherapy bath, meditation, yoga, leisure walks, deep breathing, reflexology, massage, journaling, read a good book or watch a funny movie. These are all great things to enjoy while doing a healthy cleanse, fast and detox to help nurture, rest and restore your digestive system.
The first few days after the fast it is very beneficial to again eat healthy fruits, vegetables, salads, soups, whole grains, raw nuts and seeds. Continue with a healthier routine of eating, exercise and enjoying life and you may soon notice other areas of your life more easily coming into alignment with your values and vision to enjoy a great life.
Health, Abundance & Time to Enjoy Them
