A New Year's Resolution of ours is to detoxify our bodies. We decided to do a 7-Day Cleanse from January 2-8. It is a health plan aimed at cleansing the body of impurities and toxins.
Many proponents of 7-Day cleanses say the ingredients used in the cleanse will purify the body. The benefit is giving your digestive system a rest. This is not a starvation diet, but rather a detoxification diet, eliminating incoming toxins to allow the body to rid itself of stored toxins. The cleanse includes nutritious, easy-to-digest foods like lots of water, fruits, vegetables, and brown rice. Herbs and spices can be added. You eat lots of green vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli, celery, kale, chard and beet greens, and fruit each day.
The main focus of this diet is to provide great nutrition and eliminate all the foods that contain artificial ingredients or pesticide/herbicide residue, and foods that are difficult to digest or have a tendency to cause sensitivity or allergies. This includes all processed and refined foods, meat, wheat, legumes, and soy. You should avoid coffee, other caffeinated beverages, and alcohol. After 7 days, many stored toxins will have been eliminated, and a you should feel more energetic and healthier in general.

After we decided this is what we wanted to do, we went to Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage to buy some products. We bought Ultimate Detox, Cleanse & Rebuild by Michael's Naturopathic Programs. We will start the cleanse tomorrow!
