Intermittent cleansing can help your metabolism

While our eliminative systems are powerful, given the abundance of processed foods in many of our diets, the occasional over-indulgence and the increasingly stressful environment we operate in today, some additional nourishment and support of our elimination channels is best. Undigested and often uneliminated foods in our bodies accumulate. Environmental pollutants, drugs and medications also build up.
A short nutritious juice fast combined with a clean diet gives the body a chance to catch up on its housework.
An occasional change in our diet or lifestyle through a strategic combination of a short nutritious juice fast – perhaps fasting until lunch or dinner occasionally – combined with clean eating gives the body a chance to catch up on its housecleaning work as the energy in the body shifts from digestion (which requires a tremendous amount of the body’s energy resources) to healing.
In your clean eating regime focus on incorporating a few more whole, natural foods and reducing your intake of refined and overly processed foods.
For best results enjoy lots of raw fruits and vegetables, a healthy amount of cooked veggies, and a lesser amount of more calorie dense cooked starchy veggies (such as beans, squash, potatoes), grains and nuts. Meats, fish and dairy are compliments in this way of living rather than the main feature. Regular exercise enhances the benefits of this natural lifestyle.
