Summer Detoxifying Cleanse

Good for body and soul, ChakraVibe recommends a summer detoxifying cleanse.raw_food

With summer in full swing markets and gardens are brimming with luscious ripe fruits and vegetables. If you have ever thought about embarking on a cleansing program, now would be the time to do it! What exactly is a cleanse, you ask? Simply put, when your body does not have to constantly attend to the complex tasks of digestion, assimilation and elimination-it is able to more efficiently attend to some of its other functions, the most important being cleansing and healing.

Drastically simplifying your intake of food will allow your body to expend its energy on cleansing and healing.

Nami Shannon author of The Raw Gourmet describes three ways to prepare fresh fruit and vegetables for a detox cleanse; you can juice them,  blend them, or simply eat the entire fruit and vegetable raw if you don’t have a juicer or a blender. For more tips and recipes you can read her complete article.

How will you feel at the end of a detoxifying cleanse? Most people report feeling lighter in body and mind, clearer skin, clearer thoughts, weight loss and lessening or the complete disappearance of bothersome symptoms like sinusitis, digestive disorders, mood swings, fatigue, high blood pressure and much more. With a new spring in your step and a flatter belly, the results of enjoying summers bounty will be well worth it.
