Moving On

For everyone who has followed my health and wellness journey on this blog and continue to visit my blogs, thank you. I hope the posts and recipes have provided insight and inspiration in assisting you in your own health and wellness journey. Since my last post I have traveled the world and written a book about my life experiences, and have recently moved on to a slightly different quest, but I carry with me the same torch of mind, body and spiritual wellness as I did in my former blogs. I will be dismantling ‘The Cleanse’ blog shortly and incorporating it into a new blog: Diary of a Figure Skater. I invite you to join me as I take a new turn down an old and familiar path.

Namaste,

Lynn

Get Your Glow On: You're Just 21 Days From A Happier, Healthier, Radiant New You!

Ever notice how some people have that lit from within glow about them? Bet you're wondering how they get it? I'll let you in on a little secret, it has nothing to do with age although, it's often associated with youth. And as we age, that glow begins flickering and sputtering like a candle with a low burning wick.

But what if you could regain that glow and youthful vitality through juice cleansing? It probably wouldn’t cost more than the price of a cappuccino, and far healthier for you, too .You might be a bit skeptical I know I was. But major dental surgery left me unable to masticate food, so I turned to juicing as an alternative during post-op; you can read about my dental experience on the 2th Fairy blog.

        
Not only are juices delicious and good for you, ounce for ounce they pack a multitude of benefits.Think of juices as super charged fuel for the body like STP is for the car. When ingested they clean the body of toxins and impurities enhancing its ability to rejuvenate and repair. Juices are liquid vitamin supplements, only faster acting and better tasting. Nutrient rich with antioxidants and essential amino acids they rapidly assimilate through the blood stream accelerating and promoting healing while saturating the body’s tissue, cells and organs with oxygenated chlorophyll and Phytonutrients.

In addition to their healing properties, you’ll begin to notice more radiant youthful skin, that lit from within glow I mentioned earlier, as well as renewed vigor and vitality. Think of your juicer as a fountain of youth. More importantly, this program is about  making healthier lifestyle choices rather than just reaching for a magic elixir. We can't hold back "Father Time" indefinitely, but we can certainly keep him at bay.

 Benefits of juicing:

·         Increased energy and stamina

·         Dental surgery

·         Detoxification

Our bodies have been overloaded for decades with toxins, chemical pollutants and a diet high in processed foods commonly referred to as the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.). These substances, if left to circulate through our system, become toxic and antagonistic to our cells and organs interfering with the body’s natural ability to heal and rejuvenate. Natural hygienists theorize that toxemia is the major cause of disease and illness today as a result of the body’s accumulation of these toxins. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said it best " food is medicine and medicine is food". However, I would be negligent if I didn’t recommend that anyone considering juicing or any other type of diet consult with a medical professional prior to beginning this or any other protocol.

      The predominate factor in juicing is for the purpose of healing and rejuvenation. The second is weight loss. I’m willing to wager that after experiencing the curative effects and physical empowerment of taking back your health and vitality through juicing, you’ll want to integrate this system into your regular diet as a way of life.

     

Cheers to your health.
