January 26 - You Gotta Squeeze Some Lemons

You will hear me talk about the benefits of detox often. I believe everyone should do some form of a detox at least every couple of months.

This simple concept of detox is to achieve these aspects:

• Reduce the amount of toxins and pollution into our body to lessen the burden against the detoxification organs
• Promote healthy eating, nutrition and supplementation to help our body effectively clear the toxins

Great Benefits of Detox:

• Improve our Immune Function
• Scavenge free radicals and eliminate toxins
• Strengthen body’s fight against cancer cells and generate healthy cells in our body
• Cleanse mucous, congestion, fermentation, inflammation in our digestive tract
• Purify our blood
• Reform our lifestyle addictions for sugar, salt, high glycemic carbohydrates, alcohol, junk foods, nicotine, etc

One of the simplest things you can do on a daily basis to detox is drinking warm lemon water in the morning when you wake up. Warm lemon water serves as the perfect good morning drink, as it aids the digestive system and makes the process of eliminating the waste products from the body easier. It prevents the problem of constipation and diarrhea from taking place, by ensuring smooth bowel functions.

Squeeze the juice of half of a lemon into warm water and drink daily.

Enjoy!
