Body Detoxification

Today you are going to start afresh. Leave your bad habits behind. Your past is not your future. Detoxifying your body is like moving to a new house. Before moving into your new home, you must first get rid of all the junk that has been sitting in the old house where you've been living all of your life. Likewise, before creating a healthy, fit and beautiful body, you must first clean out your old body. You start this cleaning with body detoxification.

Body detoxification is the process of cleansing your body of waste and toxins. All cells in your body depend on proper nourishment and cleansing, without which they cannot function. If you eat poorly, toxins will accumulate in your body from things like junk food, preservatives, steroids, hormones, additives, waxes, dyes, coffee, sodas, and coloring. Junk food is a major source of body toxins.

The additives and chemicals that make junk food attractive and tasty are the same things that contaminate our internal organs. Fat from burgers and fried food is stored (as cholesterol) in our arteries and skin. If you carry excess fat, you are overloaded with toxins and more likely to develop obesity-related health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Add to this contaminated water and air, and it's no wonder that many people lack the energy to exercise.

Planning for Healthy Eating

After detoxifying your body, the next step towards creating your NEW BODY is to plan ways to keep your body clean and healthy. If you want continuity, then you must start a healthy eating plan now!

How many times a week do you eat French fries or grab a burger at lunch? What about cookies, chocolate, packaged meals, sodas, coffee and chips? Junk food may make your life easy and convenient but, as we discussed in the previous section, it destroys your internal organs. You must take serious steps to eliminate junk food from your diet. No matter how much exercise that you do, you can never fully compensate for poor eating habits.

Essential Nutrient.

Experts say that unless 50 to 75 percent of your diet comes from raw foods, your body will not receive enough minerals, vitamins and enzymes to assimilate nutrients and eliminate toxins. Developing a healthy eating plan does not mean following a diet or counting calories, but it does mean ensuring that you eat healthy food. Eating a variety of foods is the best way to get the essential nutrients that you need. Here are the essential nutrients:

• Proteins
• Carbohydrates
• Fat
• Vitamins
• Mineral
• Enzymes

ENERGY BALLS

"Natural." "Nutritious." "Wholesome ingredients." "Packed with protein." You've seen the claims. Today's market is booming with various protein bars, energy bars and meal replacement bars. The question is, how substantial are their health claims? Are these bars full of nutritional value, or are they really just dressed-up candy bars?

Try this nutritious "energy balls" instead...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients:

-1 cup organic peanut butter
-1 cup honey
-1/2 cup Peruvian Maca (optional)

-4 cups of any combination of the following ingredients:
-Granola
-Oatmeal
-Raisins-Sunflower seeds
-Dried cranberries
-Flax seed (ground or whole)
-Oat bran
-Wheat germ

Steps:

1. Mix peanut butter, honey and Peruvian Maca.
2. Add 4 cups of any of the additional ingredients. My favorite combo for taste and health factor is oatmeal, cranberries, flax seed, and peanuts.
3. To make the perfect balls, play around with the honey (if it's too dry) and oatmeal, bran, etc (too moist) until the balls hold their shape and aren't too gooey. Ideally, let the mix sit for few minutes before doing the balls.
4. Now, roll the balls to about 1cm and then refrigerate (or freeze) ... enjoy!

YOU DETERMINE YOUR ATTITUDE

Your attitude is not determined by circumstances,
but by how you respond to your circumstances.
You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.

It's how you react to events, not the events themselves,
that determines your attitude.

Any challenge facing you
is not as important as your attitude towards it,
for that will determine your success or failure.
