Fall “Cleaning” and Cleansing

Fall is a time to clean your house and get organized. Besides organizing and getting rid of things that you don’t need in the house you can do some “cleaning”and cleansing for your body to have more energy and for better health. There are many foods you can eat to help you to get started on a healthier path.

One of the most important things to do is to start drinking more water. We are made up of 70% water and it is essential for many of our bodily functions to drink water throughout the day. In order for our body to work properly we need to replenish the water lost when we sweat and excrete water. You need to drink at least6-8 glasses of water per day.

There are fruits like apples that are high in pectin and they are an excellent cleanser for the liver and intestines. Other fruits that are cleansing are lemons. Lemons are a liver detoxifier and contain a high amount of vitamin C, essential for the production of liver cleansing compounds in your body. One way to use lemons is to start your day with a warm cup of lemon water. Other fruits that are cleansing are blueberries and cranberries. They help to get rid of harmful bacteria in your uninary tract.

There are many vegetables that also help your body to cleanse.  One of them is avocado and it is not usually thought of as a cleansing food. However, avocados contain glutathiamine, which helps the liver to eliminate toxins. Beets are powerful blood purifiers and liver cleansers. Cabbage is an excellent cleansing food for the digestive tract and liver and it has many cancer fighting and antioxidant compounds. Other foods that are very cleansing are garlic, kale, and celery.

There are also Sunrider foods that are cleansing and help your body to be healthier. Some of these foods are Fortune Delight, which is a whole food beverage that helps your body to get rid of waste, toxins, and fat. Another one is the Sunbar, which has whole food protein and fiber and is a meal replacement.
