Glow-Up Skincare Tip : Water is your skin's best friend

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 16:05:00 +0000

Water is truly your Glow Up SkinCare buddy! Staying hydrated is one of the BEST beauty treatments.

Check out all the ways drinking water helps you create that healthy glow:

Enhances skin tone – When you drink enough water, it helps your body get rid of toxins and increases blood flow to your skin, giving it a smoother, healthier glow.
Wards off sagging skin and premature aging – Staying hydrated helps maintain and revive your skin’s elasticity, preventing sagging and the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Helps prevent puffiness – That puffy look is often your body retaining water to prevent dehydration when you don’t drink enough. That's why improving your hydration can reduce it.

Did you know we lose water every time we breathe, sweat, urinate, or metabolize food? It’s no wonder we have to rehydrate so much!

How much do you need daily?

While water needs are going to vary by factors like how much you sweat on a given day, experts say an optimal amount is about 9 cups of fluids for women and 13 cups for men.

YOUTH it's Something Special...

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Tue, 05 Sep 2017 17:52:00 +0000

To see the before and after pictures flood my FB newsfeed daily is a sign the long awaited 8 years of research and product development has paid off. I guess it’s because of my cosmetology background and having a family with a multitude of science research behind them makes me want to dig a little deeper than images.

Don’t get me wrong I’m in complete trust of Shaklee’s science and research, but when it comes to skin I wanted to know more. So I did some digging....

Shaklee took 8 years to find botanicals that give the right nutrients and protein to the skin cells so that they RENEW faster and RENEW AS YOUNG CELLS.

Way different than doing something to the skin, this replaces it with cells that ACT YOUNG and renew as younger cells. This is why we are seeing 20 somethings getting results in as little as 7 days.

As we age, skin cells renew slower, between 50-60 days and when we were younger, every 12 days. So it makes skin cells renew faster, but also act like young cells because they have the youth complex that makes them make collagen and elastin like they were YOUNG!

Then add the patent-pending Muscadine Grape Polyphenols like what is in our Vivix product. (released 8 yrs ago coincidence i think not)

In short what it does in protect and repair the DNA of the cell. Yes our DNA can be changed.

So with 8 patents and patents-pending, YOUTH Skin Care represents a breakthrough in skin care science.

Shaklee’s promise is you will not only dramatically improve the health of your skin with YOUTH, but it’s 100% guaranteed to shift the appearance of your skin to a younger age.

NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS!

How important is it to Moisturize Regularly?

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 12:47:00 +0000

The cosmetologist in me still likes to help folks understand why it's important to keep your skin hydrated.

No matter whether your skin type is dry, oily or sensitive, you shouldn't skip the moisturizing step in your skin care routine. Leaving it out might quickly cause redness or flaking, and in time it can allow wrinkles and other aging signs to show up on your skin earlier than they otherwise might.

If you have sensitive skin or a skin condition, moisturizing regularly might help ease some of the irritation.

Give your skin the drink it deserves with Balancing Moisturizer from Shaklee. This lightweight formula is clinically proven to provide an immediate moisture surge that hydrates up to 24 hours. Its non-sticky formula doesn't add oil, yet it deeply nurtures and hydrates skin, rebalancing it so it feels smooth, firm and fresh with a long-lasting matte finish.

Please contact me (Cindy @ 888-272-6701) if you have questions about how to keep your skin looking it's best.

How does your Immune System Work?

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Sat, 15 Oct 2016 14:10:00 +0000

Your immune system uses a huge army of defender cells - different types of white blood cell. You make about 1000 million of them every day in your bone marrow.

Some of these cells, called macrophages, constantly patrol your body, destroying germs as soon as they enter.

This is your 'natural' or inborn immunity. But if an infection begins to take hold, your body fights back with an even more powerful defense of T- and B-cells.

They give you acquired immunity so that the same germ can never make you as ill again.

Help support your immune system with Shaklee's Vitalized Immunity. It contains as much as vitamin-C as 16 oranges and is naturally sweetened with Monk Fruit. It also includes a proprietary blend of 19 vitamins, minerals and herbs.

The safe way to boost your immune system quickly is Shaklee's Vitalized Immunity

How to Deal with Digestive Issues Naturally

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Wed, 04 May 2016 22:05:00 +0000

by Dr. Frank Painter, D.C. and Dr. Richard Brouse

By age 30 the body is already producing less digestive enzymes than we need, to support healthy digestion is a general digestive enzyme like Shaklee’s EZ-Gest. It is particularly helpful for those who are lactose intolerant, and can also help to digest many of the “problem foods,” such as beans and broccoli, without experiencing that gaseous bloated feeling.

The stomach is the acid-filled cauldron, where giant molecules are broken into smaller units. When operating properly, the pH of the stomach is about one, and that’s acidic enough to dissolve nails within 36 hours. WOW! On occasion, people may suffer from acid reflux (aka heartburn), when contents of the stomach back up into the esophagus. In a recent Swedish study, 67 % of those interviewed reported experiencing reflux symptoms daily, and 14 % of them experienced it at least weekly.

However, if we are not producing enough acid taking 1 T of Apple cider vinegar in a little water and touch of honey 30 minutes before eating and taking supplements with calcium can help break them down easier.

Reflux is associated with gas, bloating, nausea, heartburn and burping. Most pharmacies devote entire aisles to selling chalky pills and fizzing tablets to alleviate these symptoms, but neutralizing the acid in your stomach also defeats the stomach’s ability to digest properly. Reducing your intake of coffee and soda, and managing your stress levels are frequently successful at extinguishing heartburn.

Stress is often a major contributor to heart Burn, so Shaklee Stress Relief Complex is a natural and safe way to calm both the stomach and the nerves. SRC also blunts excessive cortisol release. which will reduce the impact of stress on ali the other the organ systems.

The OptiFlora System provides both pre- and probiotics to balance and heal the digestive tract.

Also a product called Stomach Soothing Complex contains a combination of ginger and peppermint oil that is very soothing to the stomach, and is especially helpful with reducing the nausea associated with early pregnancy or motion sickness.

Finally, chewable Cal Mag Plus can provide relief for that occasional acid-stomach upset, because the calcium carbonate molecule neutralizes acid.

The small intestine combines bile and other enzymes from the pancreas and liver to finish the job of breaking food into the pieces that we can absorb. The overall surface area of the small intestine is vast (it’s the size of a baseball diamond) so we have a giant environment for absorbing all those nutrients.

The Facts on Fat and Why it May be Causing Inflammation

Diseases of the intestine and colon usually evolve because of inflammation. This includes the whole inflammatory spectrum, from irritable or inflammatory bowel to the more severe ulcerative colitis. As inflammation increase and the ability to absorb nutrients declines. This is the vicious circle. What is the cause? The average American diet has an imbalance between the Omega.3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, and this creates a pro-inflammatory environment in the body. The ideal dietary ratio between these two essential fatty acids is 1 : 1 (one{o-one).

Omega 6’s are used to start the inflammatory cascade, while the Omega 3’s are used to extinguish it. It’s estimated that the Omega 6 to 3 ratio is now a lopsided 20:1, because of the preponderance of com oil used in cooking and prepared foods. This imbalance is what has caused such a dramatic increase in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders during the last 30 years.

The solution is in restricting the use of Omega 6 cooking oils (derived from vegetables, seeds and nuts) and increasing the use of Omega 3 oils (found in flaxseed oil, canola oil, walnuts, and Brazil nuts). The purest available source of dietary Omega 3’s is from Vitalizer or OmegaGuard.

For those with extreme intestinal symptoms, they should start a program with OmegaGuard, OptiFlora, EZGest, and Stress Relief Complex. As the inflammation reduces. add Vitalizer and a Shaklee NON GMO product like Life shakes or Energizing Soy Protein. The idea is to reduce the inflammation first. As the intestines heal, the other supplements will be much better tolerated and absorbed.

Dr. Richard Brouse on Acid Reflux

Usually, people with this level of gastric distress have a long history of late night eating, high stress lifestyle and poor food choices. The muscle at the top of the stomach which keeps food and stomach acid from entering the esophagus (cardiac sphincter) has been stretched and does not regain its function. Sometimes the advice for hiatus hernia sufferers can help;

1) do not eat within 3 hours of bedtime,

2) do not drink within 1 hour of bedtime,

3) elevate the head of the bed 4 inches or use several large pillows to raise the head and shoulders,

4) drink 12 ounces of warm water the first thing in the morning and do 10 straight-leg heel drops to traction the esophagus.

I might add, this condition is rarely due to too much stomach acid. It is the result of poor food choices, eating schedule and stress ~Dr. Brouse

2 BIG Reasons to use Shaklee Garlic Complex as a Natural Antibiotic

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 18:13:00 +0000

Purity
Quality ingredients, safe products
The ingredients used in their exclusive formulas go through an incredibly stringent screening process that surpasses even the pharmaceutical standards of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Their purity standards are some of the toughest in the nutrition industry to guarantee that all of the products are 100% safe.

Potency
Extensive studies, effective nutrients
Shaklee scientists find pure and potent ingredients from nature, spending thousands of hours reviewing scientific literature and conducting their own studies to verify efficacy. They use unique combinations of scientifically supported ingredients to create exclusive formulas.

Shaklee's cutting-edge, patented delivery systems are designed to release nutrients in your body in a way that promotes better absorption.

2. Shaklee's Unique Blend of Herbs Tested & Proven to be Effective.

Garlic Complex by Shaklee is made from freeze-dried garlic bulbs. After freeze-drying, it is ground and mixed with spearmint and rosemary to produce a tablet with very little odor or taste. The antioxidant properties of this combination, along with natural allacin, remain inactive until they are hydrated in the stomach, which then releases this most potent form of garlic available.

Garlic
Garlic is a supplement that thins the blood increases nutrient absorption, enhances the immune system, kills viruses and prevents unfriendly bacteria from growing. It is nature’s antibiotic. Garlic helps with:

Atherosclerosis – dilates small blood vessels
Blood Clots – prevents red blood cell clumping
Chronic Bronchitis & Colitis – acts as an anti-inflammatory agent
Fatty Degenerative Liver – speeds liver healing - High Triglycerides)
High Blood Pressure – serves as an anti-hypertensive by thinning blood
Hyperglycemia – lowers elevated blood sugar
Hyperlipidemia – reduces fatty deposits in small arteries

Malabsorption – increases digestive juice release
Post-Surgical Recovery – speeds tissue healing
Recurrent Viral Infections – controls viral infections
Sinus and nasal congestion – acts as a decongestant
Smoking – provides detoxification
Upper Respiratory Infections – serves as an anti-bacterial agent

Spearmint

Spearmint is an antioxidant that calms digestive and nervous problems, promotes healthy urination and minimizes symptoms of viruses. It helps with:

Bad Breath – sweetens breath
Bladder Infections – relieves irritation from bacterial cystitis
Bowel Gas – reduces flatulence
Colds – reduces congestion
Fever – has a cooling effect on body
Nausea – reduces gag reflex
Pneumonia – used to reduce infusion of fluid in lung
Upset Stomach – relieves indigestion and aids digestion

Rosemary

Rosmary has several components which have been known to inhibit cancer formation in animal studies, relaxing smooth muscles in the lungs, thus increasing blood oxygen levels and increasing brain function.

Bad Breath – freshens breath
Colds – promotes quick recovery from virus infections
Convalescence – stimulate recuperative powers of the ill
Fleas – repels biting insects
Headache – reduces circulatory congestion to the brain
Memory – increases brain circulation

Shaklee’s Garlic Complex helps with many other related problems. It is a must have supplement for travelers or people who have digestive issues (diarrhea, etc.). Take Shaklee Garlic Complex up to 4 times a day (2 tablets at a time) with meals. Shaklee Garlic Complex (with Shaklee Life Plan) has been my secret weapon for fighting off ailments for over 18 years.

14 Day Detox with Shaklee

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 21:35:00 +0000

"There is no natural death. All deaths that come from so-called natural causes are merely the end point of progressive acid saturation. Many people go so far as to consider that sickness and disease are just a ‘cross' or an element, which God gave them to bear here on this earth. However, if they would take care of their body and cleanse their colon and intestines, their problems would be pretty much eliminated and they could eliminate their 'cross' by proper diet, proper exercise, and in general, proper living." --Dr. George C. Crile, head of the Crile Clinic in Cleveland and one of the world's great surgeons.

Taking the time to cleanse and purify your body periodically is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Dr. Shaklee would refrain from eating solid foods one day a week to help keep his body clean.

In today’s modern world, over 5 billion pounds of chemical pollutants are released into the environment that we eat, breathe and live in yearly. And, much of the food supply contains dyes, preservatives, pesticide residues, nitrates, hydrogenated oils and other agents’ known to have carcinogenic potential. So now more than ever it’s even more crucial to cleanse and detox your body occasionally.

Over time, the buildup of toxins in the body can lead to serious health problems including:

    Frequent headaches
    PMS
    Joint pain
    Fatigue
    Skin eruptions
    Bloating & Gas
    Halitosis (bad breath)
    Recurrent infections
    Immune deficiency

Any or All may indicate a need for detoxification.

Phase 1
Order Supplements and prepare for 14 Day Cleanse

Shaklee offers several state-of-the-art cleanse and detox products to help you rid your body of toxic chemicals, rejuvenate your liver, cleanse your colon, build up your intestinal microflora and much more.

Liver Cleanser
The liver is the largest internal organ in the body and plays a crucial role in maintaining normal metabolism and detoxifying the body. Shaklee’s Liver DTX Complex provides nutritional support for healthy liver function. This product has a proprietary blend of six botanical ingredients with antioxidant and bile flow enhancing properties, which combine to protect and stimulate the body’s natural ability to maintain healthy liver cells.

Shaklee’s Liver DTX Complex includes the extracts of:

milk thistle seed
schizandra chinensis seed-a plant native to China and used for over 2000 years to increase the amount of detoxifying enzymes in the liver
Reishi mushroom- known for its antioxidant properties
dandelion
tumeric
artichoke

These six, time-tested and safe ingredients provide unparalleled support for maintaining a healthy liver*, which is crucial to your body’s ability to rid itself of toxins.

Colon Cleanser

The healthy body contains trillions of friendly microorganisms. A vast majority live in the colon and are referred to as intestinal floral or microflora. At least 400 kinds of microorganisms are found in the gastrointestinal tract; this amounts to about three pounds of bacteria in the intestines at all times.

Their most important role is keeping undesirable bacteria in check.

Common Causes of Bacteria Imbalance
The most common cause of imbalance between good and bad bacteria is the use of antibiotics.

age
poor diet
low fiber intake
oral contraceptives
medications such as aspirin and corticosteroids
stress
high sugar intake

To effectively cleanse your colon, Shaklee offers Optiflora a breakthrough colon cleanse system that has no equal. Only Shaklee guarantees live delivery of 500 million beneficial microflora to the intestines! Tests show that many of store bought brands do not make it live to your door, much less to your colon.

The Optiflora two-product system supplies both acidophilus and bifidus. The first product is a prebiotic that comes in powder form which makes for a pleasant-tasting drink mix and provides nutrients, which selectively feed the friendly bacteria. The second product—the probiotic is a unique patented, seamless capsule that will withstand the shipping and storing process and the acidic environment of the stomach, guaranteeing the delivery of 500 million live beneficial microflora to the intestines.

Using the patented Optiflora colon care system to build your microflora to optimum levels can help improve a host of conditions from a wide range of digestive discomforts like indigestion*, heart burn*, diarrhea*, constipation*, gas and stomach bloating*. A healthy colon care aid more serious ailments like colitis*, autoimmune diseases*, and Candida*. It can also help improve skin conditions like acne*, psoriasis*, eczema* and cold sores*, and it can even help conditions like bad breath*, headaches* and ADD*.

Taking Optiflora everyday will help you experience a whole NEW LEVEL OF HEALTH! Remember, you are as healthy as your colon. It can be a cesspool of toxins poisoning your system, or it can be a garden where the vitality of life flows to
your entire being, creating a state of health and vitality.

Herb-Lax
No colon cleanse program would be complete without Dr. Shaklee’s famous
Herb-Lax formula. Originally formulated in 1917, Herb-Lax has been used effectively by millions of people over the years. It’s designed to encourage a mild cleansing action to aid the body’s natural process. Herb-Lax features a blend of 9 herbs, including senna leaf, which has been used for more than 3,000 years as a natural laxative.

The herbs used in Herb-Lax are not in any way related to the artificial chemical laxatives promoted on television. Those products often irritate the tissue and pull fluid into the bowels forcing it to eject its contents. Artificial laxatives like these can weaken the organs and may causes dependencies, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance.

Instead, Herb-Lax naturally stimulates contraction of muscles with the colon. This allows for better removal of trapped waste and shortens the transit time, giving toxins less time to harm healthy colon tissues and be reabsorbed and circulated throughout the body. Herb-Lax can help improve regularity, reduce body odor*, clear acne*, relieve constipation, expel gas from the stomach and intestines, and normalizes the colon function while it nourishes the bowel.

Blood Cleanser
As far back as 3000 B.C., the Babylonians understood the versatile benefits of garlic. It was well accepted as a medicine for a wide range of applications, including respiratory tract infections, skin disorders, parasitic infections and as an antibiotic and antimicrobial agent.

Today, numerous scientific papers also report on garlic's ability to cleanse the blood and ameliorate heavy metal toxicity, especially against such neurotoxin metals as mercury and cadmium, while another papers described the use of garlic in the treatment of hypoglycemia, intestinal disorders and a wide variety of other medical conditions.

However, not all garlic supplements are the same. Most of the processing methods used today, including crushed garlic powders, garlic oil capsules and aged odorless extracts, reduce or eliminate the allicin content. Allicin is the major active component of garlic and is needed to deliver the many benefits of garlic.

Shaklee’s Garlic Complex utilizes a unique, gentle; temperature controlled drying process, which retains ALL the allicin. The garlic is cooled to a level that temporarily inactivates the enzyme that forms allicin, and it’s only activated when the supplement is digested, providing the maximum benefits of garlic.

Shaklee’s Garlic Complex also has a dual-odor control formulation. Garlic breath” is due to garlic odor from the stomach. Shaklee’s Garlic tablet doesn’t break down until it is past the stomach and into the small intestine. “In addition, it contains a sweet-smelling blend of spearmint and rosemary extract for effective odor control

Overall Body Cleanser
Alfalfa is Arabic for the “Father of All Foods”. The roots of this amazing herb grow very deep into the ground bringing up vital nutrients and trace minerals from deep within the earth. Alfalfa is known as a natural diuretic, body cleanser and detoxifier. It stimulates bile flow, and binds with heavy metals and removes them from your system. It also helps protect from radiation and helps control body odor.

Besides its highly beneficial attributes as a body cleanser and detoxifier, alfalfa also has many other benefits. According to David Mulvain, M.S. Nutrionist, alfalfa also aids in digestion, is anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic*, anti-bacterial. It helps aid in the healing of ulcers, gout, heel spurs, upset stomach, allergies and back disc repair. It even regulates blood sugar levels and helps lower cholesterol. It’s truly an amazing herb! Only the finest quality alfalfa is used in Shaklee’s Alfalfa supplement. Grown without pesticides, herbicides, or inorganic fertilizers, it provides the highest quality alfalfa available on the market today.

More information on the benefits of alfalfa
Premium quality alfalfa, grown in California with no fungicides, bacteriosides, synthetic hormones, growth regulators, or chemicals.

Phase 2

The 14-day plan progresses gradually. It begins with four full days of a modified macrobiotic diet, then moves into six days of fruit only, then comes back to a more regular eating plan for the last four. Throughout, we eliminate caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar, dairy, and artificial foods altogether. There are no strict guidelines as to how much or when to eat; use basic nutritional principles to determine that for yourself.

Days One - Four:

Your diet for these 4 days should consist of organic fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and chicken, or fish. Modify these suggestions to accommodate your tastes:

Upon Awakening: One large glass of hot purified Get Clean water with one half of a fresh lemon squeezed into it. You may add honey to sweeten if you wish. This tonic helps flush waste matter from your digestive tract and keeps your breath sweet.

Breakfast: Fresh fruit and freshly squeezed fruit juice, organic yogurt (if you eat dairy), chopped almonds to sprinkle in the yogurt or over sliced fruit, and as much herbal tea as you want. You can use a little honey for sweetener.

Lunch: One serving of protein (tofu, fish, or skinless chicken Breast), steamed, poached or baked with no oil, and one serving of a whole grain (like brown rice, couscous, wild rice). One serving is equivalent to about the size of your fist. You may also have as much fresh vegetables and salad as you would like. You can use vinegar and lemon with one teaspoon olive oil for dressing and natural seasonings as you wish. Make lunch your largest meal. But remember, less is more (you detox better!).

Snack: Any form of fresh fruit or vegetable.

Dinner: One serving of protein as at lunch and one serving of a whole grain and one serving of a vegetable or a salad. Give yourself some variety from lunch.

For dessert, you can either have fresh or baked fruit, or you can get creative and make naturally low-fat, whole grain, dairy-free desserts that you can get from any good vegan cookbook.

Supplements to Use:

Morning:

One serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
1 DTX
5 Alfalfa
1 Fiber Bar

Noon:

1 DTX
5 Alfalfa

Evening:

1 DTX
5 Alfalfa
2 Herb-Lax
2 Garlic

Days Five - Eleven:
Here is when you enter your six-day fruit fast. It sounds hard, but after 4 days of already eating light, it won’t be as difficult as you think. You can have as much fresh, whole fruit or freshly squeezed juice as you want. Be creative! Instead of just eating an apple, or a pear, take the time to prepare a fruit salad that combines several kinds of fruit.
Here are a few suggestions:

Mash up a few bananas and freeze them to make banana ice-cream. Bake apples, using honey or cinnamon for flavoring.
Bake or poach pears and use honey or cider for sweetening.
Add cinnamon, vanilla flavoring and Shaklee protein (vanilla) to applesauce
Different fruit salads: berry salad (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries), tropical salad (pineapple, oranges, mango, banana so you have to sprinkle banana with a bit of lemon juice to keep it from browning), strawberry, kiwi, and grape salad.

Shaklee 180 Smoothee with Leucine
Add a Green Drink/smoothee these 6 days. Remember, avocados and tomatoes are fruits, so you can use them to make soups, salads, guacamole, and so on. You can add a little tomato salsa or apple cider vinegar for flavoring.

Supplements to Use:

Morning:

1serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
2 DTX
8 Alfalfa
1-2 Herb-Lax
1 Fiber Bar

Noon:

2 DTX
8 Alfalfa

Evening:

2 DTX
10 Alfalfa
2-4 Herb-Lax (depends on each individual & how much your body can handle)
1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
2 Garlic

Days Eleven - Fourteen:

For the last four days of your cleanse, you will go back to what you ate on Days 1-4. However, it is very important that you remain conscious of what you are doing. Your system is cleaner and lighter than it was three days ago, so you will probably need less food than you think you do. Stay conscious and present to what your body needs.

In addition:

Exercise every day
Get good sleep (7-9 hours). Your body is going through and energetic process and needs to rejuvenate.
Do not deprive yourself of a meal or snack if you are hungry. Eating is necessary, natural and good for you. Your metabolism needs fuel. Don’t eat if you aren’t hungry, as this will defeat the purpose of becoming aware of your hunger patterns.

Supplements to Use:

Morning:

One serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
2 DTX
8 or more Alfalfa
1-2 Herb-Lax
1 Fiber Bar

Noon:

2 DTX
8 or more Alfalfa

Evening:

2 DTX
10 or more Alfalfa
2-4 Herb-Lax (depends on each individual & how much your body can handle)
1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
2 Garlic

Ending the Fourteen Day Detox
At the end of the 14 days, do not break your detox fast foolishly. The minute some folks wake up on the 15th day they rush right out to have something that has been off-limits. This is the worst thing you could do to your system. Your intestines can’t take that kind of shock. One of the keys to fasting properly is knowing how to break it wisely! Do this detox two-three times a year, whenever you feel you have gone off track or just need to do a little internal clearing.

Phase 3

Add back the Green Smoothee. Do this for one week. Eat 3 meals and 2 snacks that are healthy but small portions to ease back into normal eating.

7 Benefits of Drinking Warm Lemon Water

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:44:00 +0000

Start the day out with a mug of warm water and the juice of half a lemon.
It's so simple and the benefits are just too good to ignore. Warm water with lemon:

1. Boosts you're immune system

Lemons are high in Vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C is great for fighting colds and potassium stimulates brain & nerve function and helps control blood pressure.
2. Balances pH
Lemons are an incredibly alkaline food, believe it or not. Yes, they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they're alkaline (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). As you wellness warriors know, an alkaline body is really the key to good health.
3. Helps with weight loss
Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster. And, my experience is that when I start the day off right, it's easier to make the best choices for myself the rest of the day.
4. Aids digestion
The warm water serves to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract these waves of muscle contractions within the intestinal walls that keep things moving. Lemons and limes are also high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen toxins, in the digestive tract.
5. Acts as a gentle, natural diuretic
Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials because lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.
6. Clears skin
The vitamin C helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well.
7. Hydrates the lymph system
