1. Become Current in your Life in this inspiring Spring season. Embrace yourself honestly as you look at all of your habits and areas of your own life. Even with all the worldly concerns, care for yourself and your loved ones. Assess the various aspects of your life to see where stresses or weaknesses exist, such as in your diet, exercise program, work or relationships as examples. Focus on the ones that need improvement.

2. Look at your Personal Relationships and see how they affect you and how you affect them. Include your significant other, friends, or relatives to go along with you in a Spring Cleansing diet for their own good and for mutual support. For my cleanse groups, I find that personal support is extremely valuable for many people to achieve the success they want.

3. Choose Three Habits that inhabit you and likely undermine your health and life. How and when did they begin, and are you done with any? Which ones are most important for you to change or incorporate to create a healthier you? Do you need help or can you do this on your own? Mine include: 
–Eat more lightly at night so that I can digest more fully to be less full for sleep. 
–Take more time for stretching and yoga.
–Create with some other experts a nutritional plan to reverse some plaque I have and to help clear my coronary arteries. 
It’s easier to give habits up if you start something new, like breathing and relaxing more, walking, dancing, romancing, and overall, making more time for health.

4. Clean and Organize your Home ’tis the season of Nature New Year in clearing out the old and bringing in the new. I love this feeling of looking at my desk, my closet, and every nook and cranny around my house and office, and wanting to freshen it all. And it is a good way to stay out of the kitchen (which also gets cleaner along with my frig) and look at other areas of my life. Of course, after all my years of accumulating and with all the communication and medical/health journals I receive, it is harder to handle everything in my existence as it was in my earlier years of cleansing. Yet, I do what I can and sometimes have my support team keep moving things forward and recycling what we can. Then, my life feels and looks cleaner and lighter at the end of my Spring Cleaning, and has space for the new to land.

5. Get Outdoors and Exercise, and move your Body! Stay Fit and Stay Healthy. Friluftsliv is a Norwegian term for healing and de-stressing by going outdoors and exercising in the free and fresh air. Hike and explore your neighborhood and extended community or find a place you have heard about and want to visit. I love the lightness and easiness I feel when I am cleansing, and my body feels more flexible and able to do my aerobic exercise. A yoga class is a good experience to expand our flexibility. Breathe and relax as well. Play flute, dance, and make time for romance. Remember, this is the Spring season!

6. Look at your Dietary Choices. What do you choose to put in that mouth of yours? And what do you fuel your other mouths with; those areas of energy intake, like your eyes, ears, skin, and heart? Write down a few days of your typical diet, then assess it and write a new plan based on your knowledge of what is right for your body. You may also wish to take a break from the TV, news, violent movies, and stressful people while you are purifying your life. It is good to have a reference by taking a break, even with substances like caffeine and sugar (as in my book, The New Detox Diet), to see how you feel and what level your dependence is on your favorite substances. I can assure you that it feels good to release yourself from those habits. Remember, Better Choices create Better Health!

7. Next look at your Emotional and Spiritual aspects. How do you feel usually? Are you low or depressed? Or more positive and energetic? Ideally, we can feel a wide range of emotions based on our daily life experience and not dwell on one particular emotion, which is the real problem. Embrace the whys of moods and energy levels with greater honesty of your true feelings, which is the beginning of healing feelings. And I can tell you that many factors ranging from your diet and digestive health to your early childhood learned behavior patterns influence your mood, energy level, and emotions, and thus your Spiritual Well-Being.

8. Do some Cleansing or Detox Program for 1-3 weeks this Spring. This could include juice cleansing, the Detox Diet, or a period off sugar, chocolate, sodas, milk products, wheat, or whatever you believe undermines your health. To do this successfully, it helps to write out a plan and focus on what you will do and will eat, and not what you are leaving out. Make a list of your good foods, shop for them, and have them available whenever you are hungry. And drink lots of good water.
 At minimum, take a Break from the Big Five:

• Sugar
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• Wheat Products
• Dairy Products

9. Now let us look at your Nutritional Supplements. What are the best ones to use during a detoxification diet? I suggest, with a food-based Detox Program, a simple age- and gender-appropriate multivitamin/mineral along with additional antioxidants that include Vitamins C and E (mixed natural tocopherols), and selenium as the basic supplement plan. Also helpful for most people are herbs that stimulate bowel function, and blue green algae (like Chlorella or Spirulina) for energy and Detox support. I also suggest drinking plenty of water and herbal teas. Calcium and magnesium before bed can help with relaxation and sleep or a buffered vitamin C formula with those minerals (plus potassium) help to alkalinize and cleanse the body.

10. Make your Overall Plan and Commitments. Begin by looking at the key areas of life, which include your Health and personal habits, Love and relationships, and Career or work. And if LOVE moves into all those areas, that is all the better as you will care for yourself and your life, plus your relationships in a positive way. Human love is temporal for many, yet love in the Spirit is everlasting. We are all blessed to share this garden, this Earth, which needs our Love and Protection. We must take the time to Nurture Nature, in order to be Nourished and Flourish.

A Japanese Study Confirms How Rats Detox Naturally

Detoxification of liver is related to colon cleansing and removal of accumulated fecal matters in the intestine. This liver – detox process is also common amongst animals like rats, mice, etc. Japanese researchers conducted a study on this and found out and published in a reputed journal named “Carcinogenesis” in the month of February in 2004, that the damage to the livers of some rats caused by the harmful effects of aflatoxins was reduced to almost 65 percent by providing those animals with the juice of grape fruits. These aflatoxins are borne by fungi which are microscopic and appear due to consumption of toxic foods in the intestine, liver, etc. and they do a lot of harm to body. The rats showed signs of inhibiting the aflatoxins on being served with the said juices. A similar remedial effect is likely to be observed in human body also. To urge the process of liver detoxification, fruits which are citrus, rich in Vitamin C content, etc. must be consumed. These juices help a lot in detoxification process. Obviously, these fruits should be fresh, organic and not pasteurized. Also, some herbs are useful, mainly those which have a content of ginger, jujube, bupleurum, etc. and such are found in Japan and also in China like the Sho-saiko-To.

It’s Okay to Detox

Our bodies come in contact with toxins that enter into our bloodstream on a daily basis. That’s why it may be difficult to detox on a daily basis. However, if you adopt some “advice” from the rats, you can see when you detox with organic fruits it will help eliminate toxins from your liver and your body. However, there’s much more to detox than fruits. You can detox by investing in natural detox cleansers on the market, or start a healthy juicing diet. No matter which way you choose, you will be doing something good for your body and you will feel lighter, sexier and happier!

Doctors Believe the Body Can Naturally Detox Itself

However, even though patients undergoing tests, like colonoscopy, are suggested for colon cleansing in the preceding step, but many doctors do not follow this idea. They ignore colon cleansing methods. Basically, the first very common reason which the doctors have while ignoring colon cleansing method is that the human body is equipped with the digestive system and the excretory system which perform the process of removal of waste matters from the body in the most natural way. Even before undergoing colonoscopy, patients can clear their bowel. Why go for the artificial methods of colon cleansing then?

Doctors Ignore Colon Cleansing because it Can Increase Risk of Infections

Some facts about colon cleansing which doctors become concerned about are: the patient can be inflicted with an increased risk of his body getting dehydrated by the colon cleansing procedures, some infections can even occur, it can lead to the problem of bowel perforations. Also, in case if the patient is having some heart disorder or kidney problems, then colon cleansing methods can be harmful because it can lead to a rise in the level of electrolyte matters in the patient’s body. Many things also have to be taken care of like no equipment should be reused for any patient undergoing colon cleansing as this is highly infectious.

Why You Should Colon Cleanse Anyway

You should always take precaution when caring about your health. While doctors may be able to help you with preventive and on-going care, there are some things you can do naturally to ensure your body is getting the proper treatment it needs.
