Cleanse to Help Heal Your Body- Pt 1. Heavy Metals
Spring and fall are the best times to cleanse your body.
As the seasons change our bodies naturally want to purge to get ready for the hottest or coldest seasons respectively. So, now is a perfect time to help these natural inclinations along.
How do we properly cleanse our body?
I will be Blogging on a series that will walk you through how to cleanse your body...
...through detoxing heavy metals, to everyday cleansing, to a full on deep cleanse to really help heal your body from health issues.
We will start with cleansing from heavy metals; because we all have them and they can be the base of many health issues we experience.
We are continually exposed to heavy metals from our environment and are even born with high levels of heavy metals that have been passed down to us from generational exposure.
Metals do not leave the system unless they are forcefully cleared out!

Heavy metals store themselves in every tissue and system in the body.
Cleansing metals out of our bodies is paramount...
as latent or active viruses in our body like Epstein Barr virus and Strep feed on heavy metals as well as other things (to be discussed later) which cause most of the illnesses in our body today.
5 Heavy Metal Detoxifying Foods that will pick up and clear out heavy metals

Here are some of our favorite recommendations to clear heavy metals.
- First thing when you wake up, squeeze 1/2-1 lemon in water and drink before anything else. Wait a 1/2 an hour before eating or drinking anything else. OR drink 12-16 oz freshly juiced celery juice, and wait 30 minutes as well
- Have a cup of dandelion or hibiscus tea with breakfast.
- My Favorite!! A heavy metal detox smoothie for breakfast
Other Things that can support your body in clearing Heavy Metals are to reduce or eliminate your intake of:
- Eggs (feeds viruses, fat)
- Dairy- milk, butter, yogurt etc. (another viral feeder, fat)
- Gluten if possible (another viral feeder)
- Lower intake of fat- nuts, seeds, meat, etc- lowering blood fat aids you in releasing the heavy metals

But know that it will just last a while and that your body will be healthier after you do it. So don't stop, doing the detox, you have to push through it...
