Benefits of Cleansing and Detoxing

Cleansing and Detoxing: Do you know that without Villi in the intestines your food would not be digested fully and Villi are what take the nutrients from the food we cat and pass it through to the blood.  If the food is not masticated in chewing the intestines via Villi will hold onto it as long as it can to get the nutrients out that are needed for the body.  This is why it is advised to chew each mouthful counting to 100, so we masticate the food fully to almost a puree because that is the best way to introduce food into the body for maximum digestion and nutrients. 

Cleansing and detoxing periodically is a great way to cleanse the Villi in the intestines as well as cleanse organs in the body that are all part of the digestive system.  We should do this and there are many ways to do it.  Juicing is one, but there are actually Detoxing packages you can purchase that take you through a full process to completion.  For instance (not selling here just informing) Beachbody Ultimate Reset has a 21 days Cleanse that is amazing for this purpose.  Lyndsi, our daughter and a couple of her friends were struggling with infertility issues and after doing the 21 day cleanse on UR were able to finally get pregnant after long months of trying...NOT that the program did this but it is curious that they all had the same results, proving to me that for our bodies to be a working mean machine we must cleanse, no matter what system you use.

In a video I watched as I prepared for this 30 day journey I'm on, the presenter mentioned that due to the Villi passing large food out of your system undigested, we don't get all the nutrients we need for our body if we are not food masticaters and that is why juicing is so good for our body and nutrition.  In fact, he said, the Juicer itself is mimicking the body digestion, passing puree and nutrition to one spout and out and the undigested food to the other side and out is exactly how the body extracts waste.

The food we eat is either Fresh or Processed.  Always remember to when possible eat the food which is grown, green and colorful, and if you eat meat, eat that which is grass fed whenever possible.  Eating Organic foods helps in eliminating pesticides and antibiotic traces that were used in the growth process, all of which contribute to illness.

The body will take fresh grown veggies and fruits especially in juice and digest all of it's nutrients through the Villi of the intestines but savor the flavor of fast foods, starches, and anything that is processed into something other than fresh and the body really has no use for it, it's just filler food that causes flatulation, the presence of excessive gas, as well as contributing to illness if not extracted from the body as it lays as waste.  This is why it is so important for us to take care in what we eat.  Moderation is always a good plan but when our diet is 90% processed and 10% Fresh then "Houston we have a problem!"

And of course always always always try to drink 1/2 your weight in H2O daily.

Have a great day and Eat Clean!
