de·tox :  The "Cleaning" job you can't ignore!

While It's certainly not spring cleaning season, most of us do a thorough cleaning of our home now and then. We dust behind the tv, vacuum the corners, sort out closets, clean behind the refrigerator (this is really a note-to-self, must move fridge!), etc. Why? We know that once in awhile, no matter how well we maintain our home on a regular basis, we need to deep clean it, not only to give it a facelift, but to preserve its beauty and extend its life!

Why not have the same attitude about your body? In other words, once in awhile, its a good idea to shake it up, clean it out, throw off the toxins and start from scratch... to give your cells a facelift and preserve their life potential. Why is this so important? Just like your home, your body accumulates waste products from your food, water, air, etc., and if you don’t take measures periodically to clean out the toxins, they can accumulate in your organs, fat, liver, intestines and bloodstream, interfering with the healthy functioning of your body.

     
 

Do YOU need to detox?

                                             
 

• People who are burdened by a toxic overload will demonstrate numerous symptoms. Symptoms that may be overlooked or even ignored, but never-the-less, a warning sign from their body. Signals that you may need to undergo detoxification include: 
• chronic respiratory problems, asthma, or sinus problems; abnormal body odor, bad breath, or coated tongue; frequent unexplained headaches, back or joint pain, or arthritis; environmental sensitivities, food allergies, or multiple allergies; poor memory, mental confusion, insomnia, depression, irritability, or chronic fatigue; brittle nails and hair, psoriasis, or adult acne; and being under- or over-weight.

If you’ve never tried detoxifying your body, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Following a cleansing program can produce more energy than you’ve had for years, take off several unwanted pounds, get a sluggish digestion back on track, increase the absorption and effectiveness of your supplements, and can even make those little aches, pains and worrisome symptoms diminish or disappear. If you can do a little cleansing on a regular basis, once every couple months or so, the health benefits can be absolutely tremendous!

If you are interested in detoxing, you might be asking, What products should I use and how long should I detox?

As you may know, I trust, recommend, and use the Shaklee products for a variety of reasons including; they are clinically proven, safe, have been in business for 55+ years, and offer a 100% money back guarantee.

That said, there are a variety of Shaklee products and combinations that people have used over the years, but this system seems to be the one that peeps stick with the most:   It consists of just 6 products: Get Clean Water, Alfalfa, Herb-Lax, Liver DTX,  Fiber, and Optiflora.

 

The first and most important “supplement” to take while detoxifying your body is...water from your Get Clean Water Pitcher. A copious amount of clean water will flood the cells and organs, allowing them to flush out toxins that have accumulated. Water helps your digestion and elimination, makes the skin look younger and more vital, and helps keep the liver and kidneys in a healthier state. And remember NO lead, NO BPA, & lots of other nasties are removed from Shaklee's unique water pitcher.


ALFALFA, which means, "father of all foods" offers a storehouse of nutrients!  And at Shaklee, we use only the finest alfalfa grown in California, ensuring a wide range of nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, as well as chlorophyll, bioflavonoids, trace minerals, and vitamins.   Alfala is a natural diuretic and helps with bad breath, ulcers, PMS, fatigue, arthritis, acne, blood pressure & more.


Herb-Lax

Herb-Lax naturally and gently cleanses toxins from the entire body including the liver, gall bladder, digestive tract, colon and even the bloodstream. Unlike other laxatives that can paralyze the delicate cilia in the intestines and create laxative dependency, the nine natural herbs in Herb-Lax are so good for you that they actually strengthen the digestive system!


Liver DTX

The bad news is... a mal-functioning liver means big trouble... ranging from symptoms like fatigue, depression, acne, bad breath, psoriasis and other rashes, food allergies, itching, headaches, gas and bloating to more serious conditions such as cancer, premature aging, lupus, arthritis and Parkinson’s, to name a few.

The good news is... the liver responds better than any other organ to proper treatment. In fact, the liver is the only organ that can completely regenerate itself, even if it’s been severely damaged. And that’s where milk thistle... the liver’s best friend... can do so much.

This powerful herb, found in Liver DTX, not only protects the liver from damage, it actually stimulates the growth of healthy new cells! Liver DTX also contains Schizandra seeds and Reishi mushroom (both antioxidants), along with dandelion, turmeric and artichoke (gall bladder tonics).

Fiber Plan

Worldwide, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer, with 1.2 million new cases diagnosed every year. Research suggests that if you have sluggish digestion or constipation, deadly toxins have much longer contact with the intestines and colon, leading to increases in the incidence of this frightening disease.

A brand new scientific study... as part of the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research's Continuous Update Project (CUP)... has found that each 10 g/day increase in intake of total dietary fiber and cereal fiber is linked to a 10% reduction in risk of colorectal cancer!

Optiflora

The friendly bacteria in Optiflora can suppress toxins in the colon as well as the metabolic toxins released by other microbes in the gut. They can also lower toxicity in the body as a whole. With 70%-80% of your Immune System in the Gut, this product is a must for those looking to improve their overall health.


Tips for Success:

Drink your water all day
Use recommended amount of supplements as directed on each product
Take Shaklee Fiber (powder or tablet) and Optiflora anytime during the day
Take Alfalfa and Liver DTX throughout the day
Take the Herb-Lax at night because it will make you "go" 6-12 hrs later.
Do the program for 1 month

Great tips during detoxing and beyond:

In addition to drinking enough water (take your body weight and divide in half.  The number you come up with is the number of ounces in water to be drinking every day. Example: 180lb person would drink 90 ounces of water daily-or about 11 cups.)  You may also cut down on fatty meats and foods, eliminate fast and junk foods and eat more raw & fresh frutis, veggies, nuts, beans, and food rich in fiber.

Shaklee Videos: Why Supplement?

Shaklee Videos: Why Supplement?

Do I really need to take Supplements?

There Are Trillions of Reasons Why You Should Supplement! 

Your body contains trillions of cells.  Billions of new cells are created every day.  Each cell is like a high-performance engine.  It needs high-quality raw materials (nutrients) to function perperly.  The quality and quanitty of nutriens you ingest affects every system in your body; cardiovascular and digestive, muscular and skeletal, lymphatic and endocrine, reproducts, urinary, and even your nerfous system.  In other words, how you look, feel and perform is directly affected by your daily nutrient intake.

Your Body Can't Manufacture All the Nutrients It Needs on its Own!
Scientists define a viamin as a compound essential for life.  And since your body cannot manufacture most of these vitamins on its own, they can come only from the food you eat and the supplemtns you take every day.  Over the long term, proper nutrition impacets every aspect of your health-from its ablitity to maintain health to its role in preventing nutrition-related diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

PROPER NUTRITION AND A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CAN PREVENT MANY MAJOR DISEASES 60-90% OF THE TIME.
Every day you make choise that will either improve your health or harm it.  Studies show that if you don't eat right, get to a healthy weight, exercise regularly, and supplemtn your diet iwth proper nutrition, you increase your risk of developing ettain disaeses such a s heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.  Good health is a CHOICE, which means that disease (in many cases) also is a choice.

Heart Diease:  #1 Killer in the U.S.
Every minute of every hour of every day, someone dies from a heart attack.  According to the American Heart Association, 80% of all heart disease in women in preventable with proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices.

Cancer:  #2 killer in the U.S.
Approximately one in every two adults will be diagnosed win cancer sometime during their life.  The American Cancer Society reports that 60% of all cancer-related deaths can be prevented by improveing lifestlye choices-being physically active, losing wieght, stopping smoking, and getting proper nutrition.

Diabetes:  The Illness Multiplier
Diabetes contributes to more than 230,000 deaths every year. Plus, if you have diabetes, you are tow to four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke and 10 times more likely to have a limb amputates; also diabetes is the number one cause of kidney failure and blindness.  A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggest that 90% of all type 2 diabetes is preventable with proper nutrition, achieveing a healthy weight, and engaging in other healthy lifestyle behaviors.

As mentioned in previous posts, our S.A.D. diet is a BIG, FAT problem.  Americans are Overfed yet undernourished.  Our foods are fast and our metabolisms are slow, our drinks are soft and our arteries are hard, our nerves are fried, and so is the junk we put into our bodies!  90% of Americans fall short in getting essential nutrients in our diets.  In addition, our children are tragically suffering as well.  The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a statement recently that suggests, unless current trends revers, one-third of all children born today can expect a shorter life than their parents due to type 2 diabetes.

The Good News is that the very latest research suggests you can positively influence your health every day through the lifestyle changes you make and through the qualify of your nutrition intake! 


Many of the world's leading experts in medicine, biochemist, and nutrition believe nutritional supplementation positively affects overall health.  Doctors from Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, and researchers from the American Heart Association, the American Medical Associate, and the American Cancer Society can't all be wrong!  If you want to improve your health, be sure to get some of the most important nutrients your body and your brain need to function optimally.;  A Multivitamin, Vitamin D, Calcium, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Omega-3 fatty acids, Antioxidants, and Probiotics.

You might now wonder, Does it matter what supplements I buy?  Well yes, it does!  Just like the quality of food matters, so does the quality of supplement.  A few tips for buying a brand of supplements: 

• Look for Clinical Studies on the ingredients or products
• Look for Natural Ingredients on the label-avoid artificial sweeteners, flavors, and preservatives
• Look for a company that focuses on safety and quality
• Look fro an unconditional money-back guarantee

  
Choosing the right Brand Can Change Your Life!
A recent clinical study confirmed that people who consumed the Shaklee supplements showed dramatic benefits compared to those who took other supplements or no supplements at all.  Shaklee consumers were 73% less likely to have diabetes, 39% less likely to have high blood pressure, had lower incidents of inflammation and more. This is why I choose Shaklee supplements!  Plus Shaklee makes it super simple with their Vitalizer packs designed For Women, For Men, and For 50 Plus.
