What Is An Internal Cleansing?

What Is An Internal Cleansing And Why You Should Think About Planning One Now?

An internal cleansing is a great tool for disease prevention, diseases such as cancer, heart disease, allergies or PMS. Any disease that you can think of! Per example, it is one of the best ways of clearing a cold and revitalizing a tired body. It is also a great way to lose weight by boosting a sluggish metabolism.

An internal cleansing is a natural way to eliminate the toxins in your body and by removing the toxins you remove the cause of diseases before you can even become sick.

Your body does it every day naturally. It has the capacity, or the power, to remove the toxins. But the problem we have today is that we have to deal with so much pollution and different chemicals that our bodies become overwhelmed and cannot eliminate everything. So an internal cleansing is a special detoxifying diet that will help your body doing what it does naturally everyday.

But why should you cleanse your body at all?

Like I just said, we are living in a polluted world, what I call a “chemicalized” world. We find toxins everywhere. Toxins are poisonous compounds that promote diseases. Examples of toxins are heavy metals, environmental pollution, gas and diesel exhaust, tobacco smoke, drugs of all kinds (prescribed or not), pesticides, herbicides, additives in food such as preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, and hormone residues in food. We can find undesirable chemicals in everything: household products, carpets, cosmetics, toothpaste, tap water, paint and plastic containers.

There is not only the external pollution; there is also what we do to our body. We live in a society of too much of everything. We eat too much animal protein, too much processed food and too much sugar. We drink too much coffee, too much soda and too much alcohol. In fact, we simply eat too much! Above all that, we experience too much stress.

What happens is that our bodies that were once capable of clearing daily exposure to toxins and exposure to too much food are now completely overloaded and when the toxic load reaches this point there is damage to the body. Toxicity can damage the immune system, the neurological system or the hormonal system.

Just to give you a better idea, here is a study from a university made on ten umbilical cords. The scientists were looking at the impact of our modern lives on newborns. They found 287 industrial chemicals in those umbilical cords. On average, 200 different industrial chemicals per baby at birth. On those 287 chemicals detected, there were 180 chemicals that are known to cause cancer, 217 known to be toxic to the brain and nervous system and 208 known to cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests. I am certain that this gives you a clear idea of the impact of chemicals on our lives and our future generations.

That is why one of the best gifts you can do for yourself is to keep to a minimum those pollutants, those chemicals by internally cleansing your body on a regular basis.

What benefit can you expect?

The benefits are incredible! You just need to do it once to realize how true that statement is. Every time I cleanse, I feel so energized in my body. During an internal cleansing, I have so much energy that I often wake up around six in the morning without an alarm and I am usually not an early person. During your internal cleansing, your body will rebalance itself. Remember, we talk about too many chemicals, too much food. Your body will eliminate the overload of chemicals and food waste. As a result, you will have much more energy.

You will also get more mental clarity. Your brain works better. You will also feel more connected. Your creativity will expand. Your mental attitude will also improve.

On a physical level, you will get rid of tremendous excess of mucous. Some of us carry around as much as ten to fifteen pounds of excess mucous. You can expect to lose weight, easily up to one pound a week. If you have been having problem loosing weight, your problem is probably linked to poor digestion and internal toxicity. This is nothing new. A 1926 book called ‘Toxemia explained’ suggest that accumulated waste create internal pollution disturbing metabolic rate and slowing down calorie burning. An internal cleansing is your answer.

On a more personal level, you will also get rid of old fecal matter. I know, I know. This is not an easy subject to talk about but that is a fact. That is why you will feel so light after your internal cleanse physically, mentally and emotionally.

You will get rid of inorganic mineral deposits that are contributing to your actual or potential arthritis.

You will experience less colds and infections.

You will certainly notice shinier hair, stronger nails and clearer skin. You will have a better sleep and an improved digestion.

Another benefit, and I think it is such an important one, is that you will become more in tune with what your body really needs. You will notice how your body is telling you exactly what food it needs and what food is right for you. Instead of going for any kind of food, you will crave healthy food. It will help you to kick out the sugar habit.

In conclusion, you will achieve a thinner, younger and more beautiful version of your actual self. Isn’t it a great thing to do? I think it is the best gift you can give to yourself.

Cathy’s Action Health Tips:

1) My suggestion is to plan two to four internal cleansings every year with the change of season. Start by planning one this coming spring.

2) Continue your education about internal cleansing and detoxification. Here are some great books that sill serve you as resources for years.

3) Decide what kind of internal cleansing works for you. Know that you can start slow. Per example, your first cleanse could be to eliminate some foods from your diet such as meat, dairy, sugar and/or white flour for two weeks without any other changes.

4) Learn to transition to a healthier lifestyle after your internal cleansing and to integrate new habit in your daily life.

5) Email me your experience – I always love to hear from you! Don't let another day go by without the support you need and if you need coaching, let me know.

To Your Long, Healthy, and Passionate Life !

Until next time,
Lots of Fun, Joy and Peace for you!
