Modern life continues to provide advances that speed up the pace of everything.
There are conveniences everywhere, from fast processed foods to electronics
to microwaves.
And yet, while everything has gotten faster, one thing hasn't changed: Nature
and our human bodies need balance.
Often, advances that speed up the pace of life can also upset the balance
so necessary for our health... and this is often seen in the form of toxic
overload.
Toxins lodge in your cells, soft tissues, and muscles, and overwhelm your
entire immune system.
For several years, we have seen increasing imbalance in the form of growing
rates of cancer, Alzheimer's, autism,
diabetes, fatigue, obesity, heart disease, allergies, candida
and infertility. Almost all of these can in some way be linked to toxic overload
in our bodies.
So what can we do?
While it's impossible to avoid all of the toxins that come with modern life,
you have the power to create balanced health!
First, let's take a brief look at where many of these toxins are coming from:
- Air
- Water
- Food
- Drugs and tobacco
- Household and personal care products
- Stress and negative emotions

is Cleansing)
Body Ecology's 12 Tips for Eliminating Toxins and Improving Your Health
The right diet and simple lifestyle changes can drastically improve your
health. In fact, with these 12 tips, you can limit your exposure to toxins
AND create a healthy eating plan that encourages natural detoxification!
With a few changes in your day-to-day habits, you can live in the modern
world and still take charge of your energy, health and longevity.
Here are my top 12 tips to help your body avoid, or eliminate toxins:
- Start by incorporating the principles of the Body Ecology program into
your life. Body Ecology is based on whole, healing foods that boost
your immunity and detoxify your body. In this way, diet alone can go a long
way to keeping you protected from toxins you encounter in the environment.
A great place to start learning what these principles are is to read: The
Quick and Easy Guide to Improving Your Health on The Body Ecology Program
Part I
- Drink plenty of water. This helps your body eliminate toxins through
your sweat, tears, and urine. Make sure that you are drinking pure, filtered
water from a safe source. Do consider investing in an alkaline water machine.
These machines, invented in Japan, take regular tap water, filter it and
then split the water into acid and alkaline water. Both are useful but you
drink the alkaline water each day.
There are now many of these machines on the market and obviously some machines
are better than others. I prefer the ones made by Enagic for several reasons.
These are the only machines recommended by the Japanese government for use
in hospitals. Also each machine is carefully assembled in Japan by one person.
These machines are expensive, though, raning in price from $1280 to $3980
... but are well worth it.
- Eliminate sugar and artificial sweeteners from your diet. Sugar
is extremely harmful to your health, and feeds candida, while artificial
sweeteners are downright poison. Use Body Ecology Stevia
instead.
- Choose your produce wisely! Locally grown, organic
and fruits and vegetables in season are the best way to ensure you're
not consuming dangerous pesticides and chemicals.
- Choose the right meats, poultry and fish! Look for organic, pasture-fed
antibiotic and hormone free organic sources of meat
and poultry. Fish
should be wild, not farm raised.
- Eliminate processed foods. Foods that are processed and packaged
in boxes, bags or cans often contain preservatives and artificial flavorings
that encourage you to eat more AND have toxic effects in your body.
If you choose prepared foods, read the ingredients or nutrition
labels to be sure you are getting the highest quality foods.
- Consume fermented foods and drinks. Adding fermented
foods and drinks to your diet is an excellent line of defense against
toxins.
These probiotic-rich foods have healthy bacteria and yeast (microflora),
which are essential for strong immunity, good digestion, detoxification,
and for keeping your intestines free of pathogens like candida.
The best way to add fermented foods and drinks to your diet is with cultured
vegetables and drinks like Coco-Biotic and Innergy Biotic.
Cultured veggies are often made with cabbage and kale. These two vegetables
are members of the cruciferous family and are a significant source of calcium
glucarate, a powerful detoxifer. Research has shown that calcium glucarate
helps prevent cancer of the breast and colon.
You can make your own Young
Coconut Kefir at home, or try Body Ecology's convenient CocoBiotic,
which has many of the same properties as Young Coconut Kefir without having
to find and crack those young green coconuts!

- Assist your liver. Your liver is your body's main cleansing organ,
and could use a little help. LivAmend
is a great way to support your liver and your bowels in removing toxins
from your body. It works by increasing bile flow that stimulates peristaltic
movement. Then your colon will eliminate its contents more efficiently.
Toxins leave the liver in the bile so you want to increase bile flow to
get those toxins out!
- Eat ocean vegetables. Ocean vegetables have a long list of health
benefits, are delicious and have amazing detox properties. For more information

- Cleanse your colon. You can use either a home enema, or a visit
a certified colon hydrotherapist.

- Switch to organic, natural, and environmentally friendly personal care
and household products. As more people are becoming aware of the dangerous
toxins that these products put into our bodies, air, and water, natural
alternatives are becoming available.

- Learn effective ways to cope with stress! It's not possible to
completely eliminate stress, it's a part of life. But you can learn to manage
it. Additionally, many people cope with stress and negative emotions by
binging and by eating foods that are unhealthy for them.
Whether you go running, do yoga, or practice deep breathing exercises, find
what works for you and make it a part of your daily life. Many people find
that the Emotional
Freedom Technique (EFT), founded by Gary Craig is a fast, easy, and
practical way to clear stress and negative emotions. By quickly practicing
these techniques they can be free to enjoy their lives!
Most Importantly, Commit to Your Health!
The tips I've listed can seem overwhelming at first, but if you commit to
one small step at a time and stick to it, you'll find that new healthy habits
start to pay off.
It's important to know that when you first begin to eliminate toxins from
your body, it's normal to feel tired, achy and even more emotional or grumpy.
These symptoms of cleansing usually last for a short period of time so don't
give up. Cleansings are a sign that what you're doing is working. Instead
of giving up go for several colonics instead.
