What Is Nutritional Cleansing and How Can It Benefit You

I would like to take a moment and tell you a little about myself before I talk about nutritional cleansing and its benefits. At the time of writing this article, I’m 49 years old and began to gain weight as early as 17. I’ve tried many diets that helped me lose some weight, but only lasted a short time and the weight came right back and with more weight than when I started the diet. I’ve gained so much weight that I didn’t have the will power or stamina to do anything; I was extremely lethargic. I would get winded just walking up a short set of stairs.

I’ve recently been introduced to nutritional cleansing and well, as of today I’m down 73 pounds, I look and feel better than I have in decades. As a result of losing the weight, I gradually and safely reduced my blood pressure medicine with my doctors’ approval. I have a mental clarity that I haven’t felt in years, and I feel full of life and energy. This is what happened for me, others may not have the same results that I had, everybody is different.

Unlike fad diets which tend to starve the body of nutrients, nutritional cleansing supports the body nutritionally, rids the body of unwanted chemicals and impurities and restores the body to a more healthy balance. Other forms of dieting tend to rebound later because the impurities remain (1). Nutritional cleansing, if done correctly, would become a more permanent and healthy lifestyle, which has been known to increase your energy, focus and drive. The lifestyle will become habit forming and provide you with the tools you’ll need to maintain your health.

Upon cleansing, you will begin to have fewer cravings for unhealthy foods (2). You will notice improvements to your immune system, liver, brain health, stress levels, digestion, blood sugar levels, sleep and much more. Cleansing itself will act as a form of intermittent fasting, allowing you to quickly and yet safely lose weight, burn fat and build lean muscle which in turn will increase your metabolism rate. Cleansing involves giving the body (especially the liver) a break from digestion. Intermittent fasting is known to help overcome weight regain (3). 

Given the state of the environment we live in today, cleansing & detoxification should be a regular part of your life and results in a greater sense of well-being. In the end you will feel younger, energized, focused, and in better shape overall.
