During this cleanse one of the main goals is to help rid the body of environmental pollutants, heavy metals, pesticides, radiation, plastics, GMO foods etc. When these accumulate in the body this can leave us feeling tired. irritable, depressed, bloated, with excess weight.  The onslaught of toxins being poured into our air, water and soil has undoubtedly effected our health.  Now it is time to live a life of purifying the body.
 
Here are some ways to purify the body:

  • Drink more purified water. Water is one of the most vital ways of self-purification.  It helps every single cell get rid of waste and allows us to excrete toxins though our urine and bowels, as well as through our skin by sweating. Drinking water with lemon adds to the purification process and adds vitamin C to the body.

Have you heard of the detox method: Coffee Enema?
 
A coffee enema is a good way to cleanse toxins out of the gall bladder and empty your colon of feces. Caffeine in the coffee is absorbed into the body through the anus. These chemicals relax muscles, stimulate the bowels, and cause bile ducts and blood vessels to open.
This might sound gross to you but this is an excellent way to detox the colon. The colon is part of the large intestine, the final part of the digestive system. Its function is to reabsorb fluids and process waste products from the body and prepare for its elimination.
