The time has come to do another cleanse! Henry and I had attempted to do one together at the start of fall, but it wasn't very successful. Cleansing is personal for me I guess and I do better if I focus on just my own cleanse instead of worrying about my husband too haha!
Why cleanse? Many great reasons to cleanse! Everyday we are constantly around toxins. Cleansing gives the body a chance to get rid of toxins and re-energize itself. Cleansing helps aid in liver and kidney function. Eliminating processed foods and certain foods that are harder for your body to break down, your system has a chance to rest and feel nourished. The skin also benefits from a cleanse as well, becoming more radiant. The body can return to a balanced state. After a cleanse it is easier to maintain healthy habits.
Creating a sense of ritual & relaxation through cleansing helps soothe the soul. This time while cleansing I will focus on a whole mind body purification. Starting the day with seated meditation, light yoga and warm water with lemon & honey. Treating myself to dry skin brushing to help with circulation and detoxification. Doing self massage after the shower with body oil. Sometimes cleansing is not just about what we drink and eat, but also looking at our lives and realizing where else can we do a little clean up. Maybe reading more, spending less time online. I will of course update my blog, but I plan to try my best to limit my time sitting in front of the screen.
My cleanse will begin on November 1st and will be a 2 week long cleanse. I will be using the Whole Foods 14 day cleanse kit again (same one I did in the spring) which has a fiber pill, laxative pill and liver detox pill. I ordered some organic roasted dandelion root tea to enjoy along with some other teas I have on hand, as I will not be drinking coffee. No processed food, sugar, dairy, alcohol...super clean eating here I come!!!
