Ever hit a point in life where your system is sluggish? Don't fret. Here are a few key things you can do to increase daily comfort, using a period cleansing system.
1) Increase bottled water to (10) 12 oz. glasses daily.
2) Eat plain shredded wheat each morning, if you're not allergic.
3) Stay away from sugar. The goal is to reduce dependency on sugar. Substitute Stevia extract in a flavor of your choice, found at the whole foods store.
3) Eat fruit every morning.
4) Add veggies at lunch and dinner.
5) Consider adding a salad for lunch.
6) Reduce white foods. Sorry -- remove all candy and crackers as processed carbs. Stick with whole grain foods/cereals/breads.
7) Eat white fish often, reducing red meat, as this food will block your system during cleansing.
8) A 3-step system you can safely use is an intestinal sweep. Nature's Way makes a wonderful Thisilyn Digestive Cleansing, priced at $29.95.
9) 15-30 minutes of daily exercise will shed unwanted weight. 30-minutes of house cleaning will stimulate your system.
3 parts To Toxin Removal (Detox) --
Part 1: Whole Body Detox in Thisilyn includes a blend of cranberry root, asparagus, and parsley.
Part 2: Probiotics replace friendly flora in your large intestine (acidophiles). This is essential for boosting immunity.
Part 3: Digestive Sweep - located in the section, Colon Cleansing, to remove toxins and impurities safely. You want to start your cleansing on a Friday.
Note: If you purchase anything other than an herbal formula, psyllium husk can irritate your intestines, causing cramping. Be sure to drink heavy amounts of water whenever you take a high fiber supplement. Also, be sure to use a system taken orally. I've found herbal kits are more gentle than most kits but if this system doesn't deliver results you want, I will offer alternatives soon. Please check out the blog for additional posts. I will have alternatives available very soon.

Top Dieting Mistakes With 6 "Lean Body" Steps
One of the most common mistakes people make when embarking on a 'rapid journey to fast and furious weight loss' is to move towards starvation, oasting a list of 'off-limit' foods on the fridge, cutting out those unwanted calories. This sounds like a great strategy but it's absolutely the worse choice you may ever make.
Here's why:
1) improper diets slow metabolism
2) #1 triggers your body to burn muscles mass first
3) # 1 and #2 tell your body to spare fat reserves.
Remember, evolution rules but your body won't care whether or not you look great in a bathing suit. Your job is to communicate with your body actions it will understand most, knowing this type of specialized talk involves chemical reactions derived from exercise and food.
Here are 6 leaner body steps you can use today, preserving your muscle:
Step 1) Weight loss must be lasting, cutting calories slightly.
Pick high protein foods first.
Step 2) Toss out junk foods or put them in a cupboard.
Step 3) Lessen calories by drinking water and tea.
Step 4) Exercise several times each week.
Step 5) Exercise pays off . Some days you'll only get 30 minutes. Other days, you'll get more.
Step 6) Alter your mindset.
Mind and body work closely together. If you're not sure how to alter your thoughts, find someone you trust. When you're initially changing your body, it's common to add several pounds of weight in muscle first but until that time, your body will hang onto to excess weight before it burns the fat. So hang in there. To find out more, head to ______________.
Here's To Your Success!
