Adopting a Healthy Lifestyle

“Health is not valued until sickness comes.” — Dr. Thomas Fuller

Adopting a healthier lifestyle for you and your family can be easy to talk about, but tough to get started!

Toxins fill up our bodies by the air we breathe, the things we touch and the food and beverages we eat and drink. In our bodies, when toxins come in at a faster rate than our bodies can process them, our body pulls those toxins away from our vital organs and holds them in fat stores. The toxins are also stored in the thyroid, brain, central nervous system, and liver. Sometimes our toxic load is so high that it “spills over the top” which can lead to a range of health problems such as diabetes, skin irritations, heart disease, chronic pain, digestive problems, headaches, mood swings, irritability and more.

How do we detoxify?

The first step in detoxifying is “turning down the faucet” by eating whole non-allergenic foods. Eating whole foods gives our bodies a rest from digesting the processed foods commonly found in typical Western diets. Our bodies were not designed to process these highly processed and addictive foods. By not eating allergenic foods such as dairy, wheat and soy, we keep our bodies from producing their own toxic responses to those foods.

The second step in our detoxification program involves “cleaning the drain.” Our bodies detoxify via our liver, gallbladder, kidneys, lungs and skin. These organs are our toxic “drain.” A gentle internal body cleanse is included as part of this program so we can effectively “clean the drain.”

A third step is to incorporate additional things into your life or diet, including water that has a pH level of at least 7 to return your body to an alkaline state, practicing meditation and yoga, spending time in an infrared sauna, or having lymphatic massage.

Our Healthy Lifestyle Jump Start Program incorporates a great tasting, vegan nutrition line with whole foods to help us detoxify and cleanse our bodies from toxins It is simple, easy to follow and fits into any lifestyle.  We have a step-by-step system that teaches you how to eat whole foods and helps you learn which foods do and do not work well. On our program, most people experience physical benefits such as mental clarity, better sleep, better moods, lower blood pressure, relief from aches and pain, and better digestion.
