PART 3: WINTER CLEANSING AND DETOXING THE BODY
This will provide healing for your flesh and restore strength to your body. Proverbs 3:8
BEVERAGES / DRINKS THAT SUPPORT DETOX
Below are great options for natural beverages or drinks you can consume during the winter season and can also help detox your body:
- Drink pure and quality water, this helps our bodies and skin stay moisturized during the winter where there is a lot of static and dryness; you can add mineral drops or pure Celtic salt to your water to add those electrolytes back in your body and reduce cramping
- Teas or Ponches: Drinking homemade teas with fresh herbs or spices with some honey during the winter or ponche (a hot fruit drink) is perfect during the winter as it is loaded with vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals
- Drink fresh fruit or vegetable juices: celery, beet, grapefruit, pineapple, etc and add turmeric, ginger if you’d like this gives a boost to your immune system and has a high Vit C content- a great detoxifier too!
- Chicken broths is a great healthy fat to drink; adding onions, carrots, chicken, and boiling this in water you get the healthy fat and vitamins from the vegetables
- If possible, reduce dairy since it can create mucus build up in your body
This time is the perfect time for you to heal your body (health), soul (balance), and spirit (vitality).
DETOX PRODUCTS AND SUPPLEMENTS
Whether the winter or summer season, detoxing the body should be a focal point to our life. The body is constantly bombarded by seasonal changes, food contaminants, stressful work environment, air quality and pollution and many more so it is important that we choose the best pure quality supplements during the winter or any season but also that we choose the best pure detox products that will heal our bodies and support our immune system. When it comes to cleansing and detoxing, it is important to detox the gut (intestinal) and the liver during this time and every season as it resets our immune system and prepares us for changes and contaminant’s we face year-round.
Some great supplements for the winter and year round are:
