Cleansing & Nutrition
Why do we need to cleanse? We change the oil in our cars. We clean our homes. We wash our bodies, and we brush our teeth. But in our culture, little importance has been given to regular cleansing of our internal terrain.
Until recently, traditional diets, food preparation and preservation methods supported proper digestive function and overall health. Unfortunately, technologies that were developed out of a desire for convenience have left us with foods that have less than optimal nutritional value, and can actually impair your digestive and overall health.
Pesticides, preservatives and chemicals have become a part of our food chain. Contaminants in the air we breathe and the water we drink add to the load of toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis.
These substances can interfere with normal cellular function, cell replication and with the body's ability to perform it's regular house cleaning.
Our fast paced lives, emotional stress and sub-conscious patterns of resistance to change can create blockage and stagnation in our subtle energy systems, making it even more difficult for the body to handle toxins.
These toxins accumulate in and impede proper functioning of the cells and tissues of the body. They can interfere with the glandular system, leading to a host of health problems that we have come to see as normal.
It is estimated that in many people, the glandular system is already impaired by the age of 25, and that by 40 or 50, most people are only absorbing about 25% of the nutrients they take in, due to poor digestion and accumulation of waste in the small and large intestine.
The following disorders have been linked to toxic overload and poor nutrition:
- fatigue
- lack of mental clarity
- generalized and localized pain
- digestive problems
- mood disorders
- depression
- learning difficulties
- weight gain
- obesity
- dysfunction of the thyroid and other glands
- immune system disorders and
chronic and degenerative diseases, including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome and other disorders of the digestive system
The Environmental Working Group is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that is dedicated to using the power of information to protect human health and the environment has funded research . Their research brings to light unsettling facts that you have a right to know about.
In 2003, they tested the blood and urine of nine volunteers for 211 possible contaminants — and discovered 167 pollutants, including an average of 56 carcinogens in each person.
