As the holiday season approaches, we find ourselves surrounded by office treats, festive parties, and family gatherings filled with delicious food. What better opportunity to embark on a detox before the festivities kick off?
While it’s easy to let healthy habits slide during this busy time, that approach may not serve us well. Instead, let’s take this opportunity to nurture our bodies and prepare them for the indulgences ahead.
Here are three reasons why detoxification may be just what you and your body need:
1. A Detox Boosts Your Energy
Whether it’s the water you drink, foods you eat, or air you breathe, you’re affected by the chemicals in your environment. These chemicals can impair how your body functions, which can leave you feeling fatigued or hazy with brain fog. (Remember the last time you ate a huge meal or a sweet dessert, and you felt lethargic or fuzzy? It’s the same concept!)
Flushing these chemicals out of your body frees up your body’s energy, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized.
2. It Improves Your Digestion
Think about all the things your body absorbs – foods, drinks, beauty and personal care products, to name a few.
All of these get absorbed by the body and can take a toll on your liver and digestive system, causing unwanted gut issues. During a detox, you’re giving your body a break and supporting it with the right kind of supplements. This helps remove the toxins that can wreak havoc on your digestion and can even help reduce constipation and bloating.
3. Detoxing Helps Cleanse Your Organs
A cleanse is designed to help your body naturally flush out toxins and support several key areas – namely, your lungs, brain, kidneys, digestive tract, bloodstream, skin, and liver.
Your organs, especially your liver, are powerhouses when it comes to expelling toxins. But as you go about your normal life, your body accumulates clutter and debris. When this happens, your liver can become less efficient.
Think of it like a highway during rush hour. The congestion of cars causes slowdowns, and nothing is moving as it should. Gently detoxing helps to clear the roadways in your body and support your organs so they can keep doing what they do best.
Show Your Body Some Love With A Detox
We all want a vibrant body, tons of energy, and a clear mind. An annual (or quarterly) detox can help you achieve just that.
By giving your system a break from your normal foods (or those holiday treats!), you’re giving it the added care and support it needs to keep you strong and healthy.
Try a homemade greens juice to show your organs some love and support detoxification. Here’s our recipe:
- 4-6 celery stalks
- 1 cucumber
- 1 granny smith apple
- 2 cups spinach and/or kale
- 1 head of romaine lettuce
- 1 lemon
- 1 small knob ginger (optional)
- 1 scoop SP Power Mix (optional)
Juice all the ingredients using a juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, you can blend everything in a blender or food processor on high, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag. If you’re using a blender, feel free to add water or coconut water as needed.
3-Day Reset
So join us in a 3-day Cleanse to get your body functioning optimally and prepared for the upcoming holiday season! See below for details.
Reset Protocol:
- Optimal Collagen: 1-2 scoops/day
- SP Power Mix: 2-3 servings per day (or replace with homemade green juice)
- Diaplex (optional): 9-15/day to curb cravings and appetite
You can combine these two products into a shake using water and a splash of coconut or almond milk creamer for an effective meal replacement. This combination delivers collagen to support your bones and muscles, along with high-quality nutrients that nourish your body without straining your digestive system.
Our 10- and 21-day cleanses are always available whenever you feel ready to start one. However, we’d love for you to join us for our group cleanse in January! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you and help your body function at its best!
