Day 1: The Beginning!

Day 1
Jan 20th, 2013

Howdy Folks!

Day 1 of the cleanse BEGINS!

Here's some follow-up on what we went over today starting with what we are abstaining from and why.

Sugar:  Highly addictive, increases risk of type 2 diabetes, inflammatory to the body increasing risk of cancer and heart disease, causes rapid weight gain, stunts growth of the nervous system and is linked to learning disorders, depression, and dementia.

Alcohol: VERY hard on the liver, converts to sugar, addictive.

Caffeine: Very addictive, causes extreme fluctuations in energy, energy gained is not gained from the caffeine but from the liver's stored energy.

Gluten:  Hard on the digestive system, a high percentage of people are sensitive to gluten causing bloating, inflammation and other forms of pain which is usually misdiagnosed as other ailments,  high calorie/low nutritive value.

Animal Products:  Linked to all forms of cancer, and heart disease.  High calorie/ low nutritive value, and is against the yogic non-harming principle.

Now that that is out of the way that leaves pretty much nothing but the foods that nourish the body and allow it to thrive!  Here is a link to some recipes that Oprah provided when she went on the cleanse Oprah's recipes.
