Detoxing: When to do it. Plus tips on reducing toxic load

There are many companies out there touting to do a cleanse right now.

This is not sound advice as the body naturally is in a holding state during the Winter. The best time to cleanse is during the Spring.

What you can do is limit the amount of additional toxins in your body.

This is done by altering your dietary and lifestyle habits.

• Limit the intake of sugar, dairy, red meats, nuts, beans
• Go to town munching on vegetables, fruits, organic chicken and organic eggs, brown rice, wild red or pink salmon and pure water.
• Avoid farmed fish!
  
• Avoid the Dirty Dozen Fruits and Vegetables! Eat the safe ones!
  
• Exercise daily for 15-30 minutes - any form whatever you like. Ease up to 30 minutes.
  
• Get 8 hours of sleep - extremely important.
• Drink pure water - filtered or bottled.
• Shower and bathe in chlorine free water.
• Avoid eating fast food
• Avoid eating anything white.
• Breathe deeply beginning from your belly button. Push it out as you breathe in. Deep breathing means higher oxygen delivery to your brain and tissues - and also better removal of metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
  

This will help you feel better without doing a full body detox program. Wait until Spring to go full bore. It will be healthier and easier on your body. I will update you fully come Spring with how to do a proper cleanse - safely and effectively.

Always seek the advice of a physician and not a supplement company.

In health,
