SPRING CLEANING IT’S NOT JUST FOR THE HOME! As the season turns to spring, it’s an excellent time to take a week or more to cleanse the body of accumulated wastes, and reset the body’s natural defenses. We live in a world that is full of environmental toxins & pollutants. They come from many sources: Processed foods and artificial ingredients, Pollution in our air and water, Pesticides, fertilizers and other agrochemicals, Parasites from travel & contaminated foods, Hormones used in foods that we eat, Bad habits and daily stresses.

Our bodies absorb these environmental toxins from the air, water and the food we ingest. With a carefully chosen cleanse kit appropriate for your needs, you can support your own body’s own detoxification process, remove toxins and get your system back on track.

2016

In addition, modern lifestyles that include diets that are low in fiber and nutrient-dense foods, and days full of a variety of daily stresses can lead to a buildup of waste in the digestive tract, taxing organs and suppressing the immune system. Luckily, there are many convenient cleanse kits designed to assist in elimination of toxic buildup in the body, as well as assist in weight loss and quitting less than desirable habits such as smoking and sugar addiction.

A full body cleanse addresses this detoxification of the digestive tract, the liver, the gallbladder, and the kidneys, as well as ridding the body of parasites and heavy metals. These are the organs of the body that are responsible for absorbing nutrients and eliminating waste products. This “in with the good and out with the bad” process is the backbone of life. Our health and well-being depends on this especially when we understand that 80% of your immune system is in the digestive tract. If this system is running well, health will prosper.

Next time you visit your Country Grocer, ask the Nutrition Advisor to show you the wide selection of cleanse kits, and assist you in selecting the best option for your needs. Health is truly wealth! * This information is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

As with all supplements, it is important to consider where the product comes from and what the ingredients are. Please consult a healthcare professional for personalized care prior to starting any new supplement plan.
