Spring cleaning might be at the top of our minds, but what about spring cleansing?
We all know the time-honored tradition of spring cleaning. Now is the time of year when we are busy resetting our closets and homes for the changing seasons, but what about applying that sentiment to our bodies? Our new SWW™ 4 Week Reset is the revitalization your wellness regimen has been craving after a very long winter.
First things first, what is a cleanse?
A cleanse is a concentrated protocol to detox your body. When done correctly, it will remove toxins inside of you and support your detox pathways so you are primed to function optimally. This is traditionally done by eliminating your intake of items that can overload your system, such as caffeine, alcohol, sugar, antibiotics, cigarettes, seed oils, dairy, and gluten. Doing this gives your GI system a chance to rest and reset by focusing on foods supporting your liver function and removal systems.
While a cleanse does eliminate some intake, a healthy one is not devoid of caloric intake. Our livers require ample protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to function properly. A cleanse is the perfect time to amp up your greens, electrolytes, herbs, and protein intake to supercharge your bodily detox systems.
Detoxing 101
Our bodies naturally detox 24/7. That doesn’t mean we all couldn’t use a little help making our natural systems work a little more efficiently. Constant exposure to toxins in our everyday lives slows things down in the detox department. If you are experiencing fatigue, skin problems, chronic pain, or inflammation, a cleanse might be just what you need to get these ailments under control.
How to start
We often suggest our clients pair our 4 Week Reset with the Kroma 5-Day Reset at the top of their cleanse for optimal results. This will remove daily toxins, reduce inflammation, and provide your gut with rest while providing adequate protein intake from bone broths and smoothies.
Start by removing the following things from your diet to get your body prepped:
- Dairy
- Guten
- Refined Sugar
- Alcohol
- Polyunsaturated Fats/PUFAs (vegetable oil, grapeseed oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and soybean oil)
Becoming an ingredient label sleuth will become paramount because these ingredients are in many foods. Being as vigilant as possible will yield the best outcomes.
Our cleanse is just the thing to get you out of your winter “hibernation.” In four weeks, you will kickstart your health to feel your best as we head into sunnier days and warmer weather. This reset will get you back on track with your wellness journey.
At SWW™, we think spring cleansing is the new spring cleaning —once you see the results, we know you will feel exactly the same way.
