We all accumulate toxins on a daily basis from many different sources. These toxins affect us just as the oil affects a vehicle as it becomes thick, black, and mucky after collecting dirt and other pollutants between changes. Toxins in our bodies come from the many preservatives in the foods we eat, the pesticides from our produce, the medications or “drugs” we use, in some cases the water we drink, and even from the air we breathe, among so many other items we put on and in our systems. But rarely do we “change the oil.”
Most people do not even think about the foreign chemicals and filth that is slowly damaging our digestive system, our pulmonary system, and all our organs. Most people are unaware that it is as important or much more important for the human body to be flushed out occasionally in order to follow a health prevention program, as it is to change the oil in a car. But we are always sure to drive into our local Jiffy Lube for a regular visit.
Cleaning our human systems does so many positive things for a person. For those who are interested in taking off a few pounds, the motabolism will speed up a bit and this will cause your body to burn more calories and at a faster pace. For those who prefer to stay healthy and feeling great physically, cleansing the toxins from your system will build your immunity system and therefore keep you feeling great virtually all of the time. But only if you follow the instructions on a regular basis.
There are many ways to clean out your system, but simply taking a laxative, although it does seem cleansing, is not a complete flush. One step better than the laxative would be a “colon cleanse” which can be purchased at any pharmacy. After following the directions you want to take a good book or a magazine into the restroom with you because this is truly a good way to really clear your intestines of any and all unhealthy waste. However, you must not do this too often. The pharmacist will consult with you about the frequency you can do this procedure if it is not already printed on the container.
Other than the pharmaceutical toxic cleanses, there are natural ways to flush out your system that are much lower in cost and do a more complete job as it clears away all the unwanted dredge running through your body rather than just the ones in your colon.
One natural cleanse is very simple, yet the taste is one you will not want to repeat often. After following this remedy, your body will be clean of almost all floating toxins within your digestive system and you will notice a difference after a few hours of flushing…both your system and the toilet. Simply mix one quarter cup olive oil with one quarter cup lemon juice. Drink it down quickly and chase it with a tall glass of water (distilled is the purest and best for you). Like I said, the taste is horrible, but you will realize it is worth it. And the good news is that you should only repeat the procedure once each month.
Another great cleansing remedy is not only simple and inexpensive, but it tastes rather good and can be used daily if you choose. You will not end up in the restroom for long periods at a time because this is an entire cleansing, not just the digestive system. In a coffee cup pour one eighth cup lemon juice, one tablespoon honey, and one teaspoon cayenne pepper. Fill with warm water, stir until honey is mixed in and drink warm or add ice and drink cold. This is a great remedy that will keep your system clean and healthy, and clear of those toxins you put in your body on a daily basis.
As you may have noticed, the one main ingredient for cleansing yourself from the inside out is lemon juice, so besides the two remedies I have just told you about; you may want to drink a glass of lemon juice enhanced water each morning before eating breakfast. Not only will it help fend off many different chemicals and preservatives you come in contact with throughout the day, but it will also decrease your appetite so you eat less and you will find yourself craving healthier foods to eat.
Enjoy and stay healthy and happy.
