detox…..

YOur very essence holds the kingdom of heaven. Take care of yourself as holy.

Our body is sacred, and it is always having a conversation with us.

We can support our natural detoxification pathways through nourishing food, hydration, rest, movement, and mindful living, we create space for the body to do what is was designed to do.

A clear and clean body supports a clear mind, allowing us to hear our inner wisdom.

Sleep, nutrition, and recovery matter. They provide the conditions for renewal to happen effectively.

DETOXIFICATION…..

The process of eliminating toxins and excess waste from the body.

THE LIVER!

The liver is your chemical processing plant. Creating bile to digest fats, and storing glycogen for blood sugar maintenance. It breaks down medications, alcohol, and environmental chemicals.

HELP YOUR LIVER OUT by cutting back on alcohol and eating a diet full of amino acids. Fish, nuts and seeds, eggs, etc.

THE KIDNEYS!

The kidneys filter your blood. Every day, your kidneys filter a remarkable volume of blood. They remove excess minerals, excess water, many medications, urea, and creatinine.

Try to avoid smoking. It can reduce blood flow to the kidneys.

Stay hydrated, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy blood pressure.

THE INTESTINES!

The intestines are the exit doors, but not just for digestion.

They remove cellular waste, prevent toxins from being reabsorbed when the bowel movements are regular, eliminate cholesterol, and much more.

You can help your intestines by doing intermittent fasting regularly. With the absence of food to be digested; this allows clean up to be focused on other body wastes.

THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM!

The lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump, so it is important to keep your body moving! It can collect excess fluid.

It also transports immune cells, and removes cellular debris.

Try tapping your lymphatic meridians! Tapping is lighter than acupressure and acupuncture, but they all work in similar ways.

Detoxification at a cellular level…..AUTOPHAGY….

This bodily function kicks in after around 16-18 hours without food. It accelerates even more after an extended time.

Cells break down and recycle damaged components and free radicals.

Our body receives cellular turnover and renewal. Drink plenty of water.

AUTOPHAGY breakdown- 0-24 hours without food is the decent. Your body shifts from glucose to burning fat for fuel. This process is the mental detox while your system lets go of habit.

24-48 hours- This is the awakening. Your body enters ketosis. Clarity may increase. Old emotions may rise. This is energy leaving.

48-72 hours without food is the soul phase. The magic deepens. Autophagy (cellular cleanup) peaks, and your spirit peaks. You may even feel euphoric. You are being rewoven.
