Cleanse Your Body Out With a Fast





Want your body to look and look and feel like you’ve been to a spa for a week? You can get the same effects at home without spending thousands of dollars. Cleanse your body out with a fast that will flush out the pollutants that are making your body sluggish – and when your internal organs are working properly, your outside organ (skin) will begin to glow and become clear of blemishes in a short amount of time.

Water only fast –  Limiting your diet to drinking only water for a few hours or a couple of days can produce benefits like lowering your blood pressure and releasing harmful toxins from your body so that your organs can better filter what you consume.

Natural foods fast – By eating only natural foods and eliminating alcohol, sugars, saturated fats, caffeine and cigarettes, your system will begin to naturally begin the detoxification process.

Cleansing supplement packages – These packages come with everything you need to thoroughly cleanse your system. They usually contain vitamins, minerals, herbs and fiber.

Herbal cleanse – Herbs such as burdock, milk thistle and dandelion root can be used to cleanse the liver, which is one of the main filtering organs in your body.

Fiber cleanse – A good, natural fiber cleanse generally includes eating high fiber foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Among the best foods for a cleansing diet are cabbage, broccoli, beets and seaweed.


Exercise is a way that you can help the toxins pass through your body quickly. It’s also necessary to build muscle and keep from losing what muscle you’ve got. When you fast, the body turns to its stored glucose and fat for energy. When those resources are depleted, the body turns to muscle.

If you choose a body fast program as a weight loss tool or to cleanse your body of toxins, pay attention to the mental aspect of the program. Try to reduce stress from your life as much as you can. You may also want to clear your house of aerosol products that may contain environmental hazards and try to purchase organically-grown fruits and vegetables.

Body fast plans have been used for centuries to cleanse the body, restore health, prevent diseases, gain spiritual awareness and promote longevity. Modern-day researchers have found that detoxifying our bodies may also help us to be more mentally acute. Fasting may even help prevent the onslaught of Alzheimer’s disease – and for that, alone, it’s worth taking a look at. So cleanse your body out with a fast

Best Vitamin Posts of 2010

I wrote a series of posts this year on vitamins. I tried to include all the main vitamins and minerals. This was a project that I had thought about for a couple of years and I finally put it all together this year.

In these posts I included what we need these vitamins for, what are the sources of these vitamins, and the amount and toxicity levels for each of the vitamins:

Vitamin A – is important for skin and eyesite. Vitamin A is also an antioxidant and helps your immune system

Vitamin B – These are the classic vitamins for antioxidants and are supposed to be very helpful for combatting stress. Watch out for your multi vitamins as they tend to be very low in B vitamins since they are kind of expensive to produce

Vitamin B3 – Niacin is one of the B vitamins most important for energy as it converts carbs into glucose and glycogen

Vitamin C – is a water-soluble vitamin, which is necessary in the body to form collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels and aids in the absorption of iron.

Vitamin D – This is a vitamin that we get primarily from sunlight and most people are very deficient in this vitamin. I have written lots on Vitamin D deficiency and this article will help you understand the importance of vitamin D

Vitamin E – Helps to fight cholesterol, cancer, and your skin as well as tissues and internal organs. You get Vitamin E from green leafy veggies as well as other places

Vitamin K – Vitamin K is necessary for normal clotting of blood in humans. Specifically, vitamin K is required for the liver to make factors that are necessary for blood to properly clot

Zinc – Helps the immune system fight off invading bacteria and viruses. The body also needs zinc to make proteins and DNA, the genetic material in all cells

Calcium – Calcium is required for muscle contraction, blood vessel expansion and contraction, secretion of hormones and enzymes, and transmitting impulses throughout the nervous system

Chromium – Chromium is known to enhance the action of insulin, a hormone critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrate, fat, and protein in the body. Chromium also appears to be directly involved in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, but more research is needed to determine the full range of its roles in the body.

I think that these vitamins and minerals are important to know about and you can be tested for deficiencies and even though some may fight me on this I think it is important to take supplements of these as a precaution to make sure that you do not become deficient
