Detoxification is a process of nourishing, resting and cleansing our body from the inside out.
Our body holds the ability to naturally detoxify, however, often may need a little help. If you feel lethargic, bloated, sluggish, have gained weight and/or are having trouble sleeping, a focused effort on detoxifying may help.
Here’s some simple steps you can take on a regular basis to flush out any toxins in your body:
Lemon Water
Adequate hydration is critical to assure your body can flush toxins out of your body. Be sure to get at least 80 ounces of water daily. A simple hack to start your day is to add juice from a half or full lemon to a large glass of water, which will help to cleanse your body.

There are so many things we can’t do right now due to COVID and that can easily get you down.
Rick Hansen, a famous Canadian, can teach us a valuable lesson to help us cope with everything going on in the world right now. Rick was in a terrible car accident when he was 16 years old and suffered a spinal cord injury losing the use of his legs. Initially he went through a phase of anger, depression and resentment. But at one point, Rick had to make the personal decision to either focus on the 1000 things he couldn’t do anymore or the 1,000,000 things he still could do.

Most people gain weight during the holidays and it’s understandable.We are typically consuming more indulging, caloric-rich foods and drinks. We may be stressed with so much to get done. We may not be moving as much because it’s colder and darker. It’s not uncommon for people to put on 10 pounds during the holiday season.
The good news is if it went on quick, it can also come off quick.
We also don’t want to beat ourselves up over this weight gain (or any weight gain). It doesn’t make you a bad person because you gained a few pounds. In fact, for many people, it can provide the motivation they need to get back at it and reprioritize their health. Many people need that two-week holiday break where they can enjoy life, celebrate, indulge and sleep and rest more than usual. It’s not a bad thing, especially during a global pandemic.
