Sunday Story…Detox

It’s that time of year when I hear people talk about detoxing and cleansing. And how they are going to take this or that potion or magic formula that will erase the last few weeks or months of immoderate living. Here is a news flash…although those things may make you feel better, they aren’t going to have your body detox any faster than it would anymore.

Your liver and your kidneys are miracle workers in the detox field. It is what they were designed to do…detox your body. Now, if you abused their workload and crippled their ability you may have to wait for them to get back up to speed. So if you have been eating poorly and hitting the bar more often than you should, you are going to need to get your body on a track to help those organs back to optimal functionality.

It is simple. Stop eating crap and quit drinking alcohol. Let me put it in the positive…eat high quality natural food and drink lots of water. As you wake up now in the morning you know you don’t feel as good as you could. This is your body trying to get out from under the workload of poor diet and excess alcohol. If you want to get up in the morning feeling like you can attack the day something has to change.

There is no magic pill. There is no potion, no magic formula that is going to override dissolute and habitual poor choices. You already know this. It doesn’t stop any of us from looking but we all know in our hearts and our heads that we are on our own. And the path is known…eat real food, drink fresh water, sleep well, get off your butt and get moving.

You can’t out exercise a poor diet and you can’t eat your way to fitness. You have to do both and do them diligently. Do that and you will detox naturally and without potions or poisons.

Get back on track. You can do it. I can help. Let’s get it done.

Namaste
