The time for spring cleaning our homes is upon us and spring is a great time to cleanse your body, too!  We're exposed to 100,000 different chemicals each day, about a quarter of which are toxic to the human body. Doing an internal cleanse to rid yourself of these toxins is good preventive medicine against fatigue, fibromyalgia, hormone imbalances, immune disorders and weight gain.

A good cleanse will detoxify your body's two main channels of elimination – the liver and the colon. Many experienced users will cleanse once a season, but you can still benefit even if you only cleanse in spring and fall. In between whole-body cleanses, you can do a colon cleanse (if you have digestive problems) or a liver cleanse (if you have hormonal or skin problems); either of these methods will help to jump-start a weight-loss program.

To support your cleansing program, you can use chlorella, spirulina or wheat grass to combat the acidity of toxins. Excercise that causes you to breathe deeply and sweat can help, too. And don't forget to drink 96 ounces of water a day to help your body eliminate toxic substances!
