A Basic Cleanse to Enhance your Health & Metabolism!:

You cannot expect to improve your metabolism, lose weight permanently, or drastically increase your metabolism without first cleaning out all of the built up “sludge” that may have accumulated inside your eliminatory system/colon.

Skipping this step will make the weight loss/fat loss process far harder, and it will create a destiny for you of achieving only temporary results.

There are 3 initial steps to take for your cleanse to be most effective:

1st…Decide how long you want your cleanse to last. I usually recommend to my personal clients that their cleanse last no less than 1 full day and no longer than 7-10 days. For example, if they have lived a life of eating fast food and little or no physical activity, then their cleanse should last closer to the 7-10 day mark. But if they have lived a healthy! life, eating lots of fresh raw vegetables, exercising regularly, and possibly even doing another type of cleanse every now and then…then you need only follow this cleanse 1 or 2 days in a row (but most of my clients – even those who come to me in excellent condition, usually choose to stay on the cleanse longer than just 1 – 2 days…the average is 3 – 5 days initially, then once a month thereafter they can do a mini cleanse lasting 1 – 2 days).

2nd…Decide what you’re going to consume on the cleanse (this is a great time to get all the junk food cleaned out of your kitchen – give it away, throw it away, just get rid of it – but don’t get rid of it by eating it yourself!!!). After you’ve cleaned out your kitchen, you should stock it with healthy foods, and the only healthy foods you’ll be consuming on your cleanse are plain, fresh, clean water (preferably ‘distilled’ or ‘purified’ water), vegetable juices, and possibly some decaffeinated herbal tea (if you desire it).

The term “vegetable juice”, when used here, refers ONLY to juices that you juice yourself. So get yourself a vegetable juicer and a wide variety of fresh, raw, preferably organic vegetables. Then 2 or 3 times per day juice enough vegetables to fill a glass and drink it down (some people, including diabetics, find it beneficial to water down their juice with 50% water – this simply dilutes the sugar found in some vegetables).

You should add a small pinch of cayenne pepper to a few of your drinks throughout the day – this strengthens your blood, increases circulation, improves the assimilation of nutrients from the vegetable juices into your body, and helps your bowels eliminate the built up waste from your system (which gets rid of any constipation).

3rd…Do some light cardiovascular exercise like walking or bike riding for 20 – 30 minutes each day of your cleanse. Avoid any heavy physical exertion if possible – your goal is to relax and let your system rebuild an! d repair itself during your cleanse. Finally, rent a funny movie and laugh (a lot). When you have a good laugh, your body secretes chemicals that aid in digestion and promote good metabolic health.

Review this or any other dietary or lifestyle changes with your physician first.

The detoxification as process uses a number of tools. Several kinds of herbs are most important among them. These herbs support and enhance the healthy functioning of all the major detox organs like liver, kidneys, colon, skin and lungs for maximum detoxification.

These herbs are often consumed as supplements, but there are many more that are used to prepare detox friendly and tasteful herbal tea. Here re the descriptions of some well known herbs used for making herbal tea.

Milk thistle
This is a very well known ingredient to be found in almost all households. The milk thistle seeds are particularly good for lever detoxification. Apart from being used as a protector of entire digestive system including liver, gall bladder and spleen, the milk thistle seeds help you to detox after alcohol consumption.

Dandelion root
Another very well known herb is dandelion. It is also a liver friendly herb. Its magical diuretic properties stimulate the liver to eliminate toxins from the blood. The high potassium content makes dandelion a balanced diuretic. It is also good in clearing obstructions from the spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, bladder and kidneys.

Hibiscus flower
This exotic flower has a strong tonical value and had been in use in Egypt for thousands of years as a healer in stomach ailments. It also comes with laxative properties and thus good for colon detoxification.

Fenugreek seed
If you feel congested all the time or suffer from the bouts of cough and cold, drink the tea made with fenugreek seeds. This herb would support your lung by helping expel mucous and phlegm from the bronchial tubes. This herb works magically in healing with lung infection and helps expel toxic wastes through the lymphatic system. When mixed with milk thistle, Fenugreek boosts up liver functions.

We are all familiar with the exotic flavor of ginger, but little we know about the therapeutic qualities of ginger roots. It has a cleansing effect on the bowels, kidneys and skin. It also works as a stimulant for the circulatory system.
