Spring Cleanse: the key to energy, weight loss, mental clarity and more…

Overview: Fitness Arts Spring Cleanse, Detoxification and Rejuvenation Program–March 2012

 “Spring has two goals for us humans:  First, to detoxify the body and second, to reset the body’s ability to burn stored fat.”

Spring is definitely in the air early this year and that means it’s the perfect time to start thinking about a cleanse or detoxification program. After the holidays, heavier foods, the cold weather, more time indoors and winter sicknesses, spring has always been an ideal time to cleanse the body. And for good reason – our bodies really need this for optimal functioning, disease prevention and health.

Why is it important to cleanse the Liver and Gallbladder?

You might not have given this much thought, but are you aware of all the amazing things your liver does for your health? It is probably the ultimate in unsung hero with 500 known functions in the body.

The liver can carry us through long periods of hunger because it stores glycogen, a sugar needed to fuel the body. It protects us from the toxins in our environment, and excess alcohol, rich food, and drugs. It creates important nutrients for the body and can store them for long periods of time. The liver also aids in digestion, assimilation, elimination, detoxification, and filters out unwelcome invaders that can create illness.

The liver holds about one pint of blood, and has three pints circulating through it each minute. It receives freshly oxygenated blood from the heart and nutrient rich blood from the stomach, each from a different circulatory system. The liver has two lobes, and each one of these components is made up of tiny parts that look like filters under the microscope. The liver can continue to function with up to 75% of its mass destroyed or removed, and it can even regenerate itself.

The liver stores vitamins A, D, B complex, and the minerals iron and copper. It makes and recycles proteins and steroidal hormones. It also makes high-density lipoproteins (HDL).

The liver is most well known for “cleaning” the blood, and this function cannot be overlooked today with the rising number of cases of liver disorders.

Cleansing Foods

A healthy food detox is essential for a deep liver cleanse. If you are an experienced liver cleanser, you may be able to withstand an exclusive juice fast. However, first and second timers can support health by maintaining a diet of the following foods:

  1. Organic juices from fruits and vegetables
  2. Artichokes, chicory root, beets, and carrots
  3. Wild greens like dandelion leaves, mustard greens, and kale
  4. Herbs to break up stagnant qi – bulpleurum, cyperus, fennel in Quantum Liver Complex and Quantum Liver Nano Detox available at Fitness Arts
  5.  Spices suited to liver cleansing like turmeric, garlic, ginger, saffron, and rosemary
  6. Fresh parsley, lemon, bitter melon
  7. Gallbladder Nano Detox to trigger the secretion of bile from the gallbladder
  8. Brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and other cruciferous veggies

Foods to Avoid while Cleaning

  • Fast foods
  • Junk foods
  • Processed foods (foods in a box, bag or can)
  • Alcohol

Cleansing Oils

Cleansing oils may be incorporated into massage oils, a bath, or one or two drops may be diluted in teas.

Anise, basil, bergamot, cardamom, fennel, juniper, lemon verbena, majoram, black pepper, peppermint, and/or rose oil.

Cleansing Teas

Many teas for liver cleansing are available pre-packaged at health food stores. Creating your own blend can be both fun and spiritually fulfilling, adding an additional benefit to your program. You find various combinations of the following ingredients in stores or create your own blend.

 

A good liver cleanse can bring about various response ranging from physical to spiritual instantiations. Most people will notice physical changes such as increased energy, weight loss, a sense of clarity and stress relief. Some will feel renewed in their spiritual passions and visions.

Before beginning any health regimen, it is wise to consult your physician or healthcare provider to consult on how certain avenues for cleansing may benefit your unique system over another. Please, contact Fitness Arts with your questions on Spring liver/gallbladder cleanse.
