Why Cleanse?

Why Cleanse?

We detoxify and cleanse for health, vitality, and rejuvenation.
We cleanse our body to clear symptoms, treat disease, and

prevent future problems. A cleansing program is an ideal way to

help you re-evaluate your life, make changes, or clear abuses

and addictions. Withdrawal happens fairly quickly, and as

cravings are reduced you can begin a new life without old

addictive habits or drugs.

Detoxification is also helpful for weight loss, although this

is not the primary purpose. The body stores toxins in fat

cells. When you cleanse your body these toxins are more easily

released from their fat stores. Since you then become less

toxic, your toxin stores (the fat) are not as necessary and,

thus, your body can rid itself of excess, unnecessary fat.

Weight loss also occurs on a cleanse simply because there are

fewer calories being consumed. Since weight loss boils down to

creating a caloric deficit, eating less overtime is a simple

way of losing weight.
We also detoxify and cleanse to rest and heal our overloaded

digestive organs. This is often an overlooked, yet very

important, area considering optimal health truly begins with

the health of our digestive system.

Aside from the internal health benefits, detoxification can

also be a great catalyst for external change. For instance, it

can provide a great opportunity to reflect and re-evaluate

what's most important to you. It can serve to help you cleanse

your house, your work, your relationships. After a cleanse, you

will even feel more organized, more creative, more motivated,

more productive, more relaxed, and more mentally focused and

clear.

So, if you want more energy, greater vitality, more youthful

and radiant skin, and greater health for life, then cleansing

should be a regular (annual or semi-annual) part of your life.
