Time for a cleanse?

With all of the holiday goodies I am sure as I, many of you are feeling this would be a good time to clean out, both your cabinets (my left over cookies have found their way into the freezer) and your system.  This morning I realized that I was hungry for lunch too soon...a sign that I have been enjoying too many holiday treats (which included several brunches of way too much breakfast food, not the type I am used to).  Over the holiday period most Americans tend to gain weight, a fact that many just seem to shrug off.

If you have ever lost any considerable amount of weight, you don't really need the scale to tell you to when to watch out; your clothes will inform you that it is time.  So, now my days are looking like I will be refilling my herbal tea cups often (that way I am sure to get extra water...I am loving Yogi Peach Detox Tea...today it is Chrysanthemum Tea which has choline and that aids in fat metabolism); the teas help to calm because they have no caffiine. There have also been a lot of soups and salads served at my home lately.  I will eat better and drink lots of clear fluid to help my system cleanse from the abuse I gave it the last few months.

 Consider your body, it is the temple of God; consider what you are putting into it.  Even if you eat only fresh (if you are fortunate enough to find them) raw fruits and veggies, there would still the air you breathe to consider.  I like to cleanse myself a couple of times a year; this is one time I am just getting ready to do it.  Just think about all that you do clean on a regular basis, such as hair, skin, teeth... so, why not cleanse the inside of our bodies.  More than half of our immune cells are located within our digestive tracts; that would be where our ability to fight off colds and flu begins.  Generally, our bodies were not designed to handle the toxins of today, either in what we eat, what we breath, or even what is absorbed through our largest organ, our skin.  Clearing out the toxins inside is a good thing to do; this is a good way to start off our new year to give our goals a jump and a head start.

We should do it through our food choices and we can assist it in other ways.  Nutriclean®  7 Day Cleansing and Detoxification System is a great way to promote good digestive health and cleanse out your system.  To complement that we also carry Ultimate Aloe® juice with added nutrients and enzymes for your health.

You know that you will be more beautiful when you start from the inside out.  You will feel better, sleep better, have more energy, it is all good!

Don't Sweat the small stuff

Why is it that stress and holding bitterness are linked to so many health issues?  We are told that God's grace is sufficient for us.  Sometimes we just might have to say "but how can it be?"  Back in the 1980's, if any of you remember him, Richard Simmons was very popular at encouraging people to loose weight (whether you liked him or not, he did do it).  A phrase he often used was "Don't Sweat the small stuff".  It is no wonder, stress is actually a factor that will cause weight gain.


If you are  trying to loose weight, one suggestion is to use relaxation techniques through out your day, especially when you find yourself in a stressful situation.  Weight gain, belly fat especially, is also attributed to cardiovascular disease among other illnesses and disease.  So, if you are trying to loose that extra weight you put on over the summer (from all those bbg's perhaps), one key factor is to get rid of stress in your life. Of course, you still need to eat proper nutritious food and exercise, but hanging onto stress will also hold on to the weight.


Neither is holding onto bitterness something to take lightly for your health and wellness; it is actually a cause for stress.  If you are harboring ill feelings, you need to let go.  To everything there is a season--A time to keep and a time to let go.--Ecclesiastes 3:1,6 These words were in a song back in the 60's, funny it was an anti war song I think; I never knew the lyrics were actually adapted from the Bible.  Wise words to hold on to.


Many times bitterness comes through someone in our life, from a envy or the seed of pride. There are times that it seems as though the Lord puts someone in our lives like that to see how we deal with it.  He wants to see us forbear, not hold bitterness or be judgmental.  Simple words, yet often so hard; let go and let God.  We need to just be there, to be ready for refreshment and renewal, to love and accept.  It may be you seem alone through the process, but the important thing for you to do is let God deal with it and you just keep loving while you trust He is there. Oh, that is really hard sometimes, but God does give us what we need to do that.  You may have to think on other things, to consciously focus elsewhere, but do what you have to be happy and cheerful ~~ "A cheerful heart is good medicine.--Proverbs 17:22"   Pray for strength to get through and pray for what or who ever is challenging you.  God will make a way for you.


Yes, forgiveness, love, beauty traits from within.  Timeless.
