All programs are nutritional cleanses designed to give your digestive system a rest and allow your body to eliminate toxins and undigested food. If you lose weight while cleansing, then that’s just a bonus. If you have weight to lose, you will lose it. If you don’t, you won’t on these programs. However, if weight control is your goal, these programs will put you on a path towards healthier habits. Many people report being able to focus more on what it is they are putting into their body after our programs.

Keep your shoes near the door you enter your home. When you walk around your home in your shoes you are potentially tracking dirt, dust, pollen and other toxins throughout your home, which can be hazardous to your health especially if you have rugs or carpeting. They linger around for up to a week.

If you are holding excess weight around your stomach, try a 3 Day body cleanse. The main reasons we hold weight in that area is due to the stress hormone, cortisol and undigested food. Giving your body and your digestive a much needed break with a 3 Day Cleanse can help with both challenges. Consult with your doctor first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 27, 2010
Journal your detox/cleanse experience. It's important to note your comfort level during a detox/cleanse program to determine if you're doing a program that is right for you and to evaluate your progress. When you decide to incorporate cleansing into your lifestyle you can learn from each experience to enhance and maybe even extend the length of your next cleanse.
Research and choose the right items for your cleanse or detox program that fit your goals and that are suitable for your health. When doing a cleanse, there are many different ingredients and substances used in the process and just because the programs sounds good, one or some of the items may not be suitable for you. Specifically, when doing a Juice Fast we highly recommend only consuming organic fruits and vegetables because it does not do your body any good to fast on chemically-laden food, which add more toxins to your system.
If you must have a beverage while eating, drink non-caffeinated/non-alcoholic warm or room temperature beverages while eating. Cold beverages slow down digestion. Food is digested more efficiently around body temperature. Hot water with lemon or herbal teas are the best choices, however, try your best not to have a beverage until you're done eating. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Properly chew your food. Digestion starts with chewing is the If you do not complete the chewing process your stomach enzymes cannot do their job making it almost impossible for the intestinal enzymes to break down the food when it finally gets there. This leads to excess weight around the stomach, gas, bloating, fatigue and stress on your body as it has to work harder and longer to move the food.
Physical Fitness helps our body detox in many ways. When we increase our circulation, oxygen and nutrient rich blood are delivered to tissues while wastes are removed. Cardio and weight training 2-3 times per week is a great way to support your body's detoxing efforts, however, not during a detox or cleanse program where you are limiting your caloric intake. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create a strategy. Deciding the order of organs and body systems to cleanse that make sense for your health goals is important and enhances results. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try a fast or juice fast. Fasting helps our lungs, liver, and kidneys function more effectively because the burden of having deceased cells and waste is taken off these internal organs, thus giving them a much needed rest and as a result fasting not only cleans and clears our body but also our mind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 18, 2010
The exit doorsof the body are the organs of excretion- bowels, kidneys, liver, gall bladder, lungs, skin and lymph. To properly detoxify our bodies, we need to open these first and keep them open during the entire detoxification process. If we don’t, toxins are released but not eliminated therefore leading to possible sickness, wasted time, effort and money on a program.
Using a body brush unclogs the pores in your skin so that your body can more easily remove toxins. This is normally achieved via perspiration, but if your pores are blocked then this process is much slower and it even puts a bigger strain on your internal organs to remove the toxins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 14, 2010
Your liver is your filter and it functions best when cleaned out once in a while. Cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. You have more energy and increased sense of well being.

80% of your immune system is in the intestines. Plus, it's the nutritional uptake center of your body. Keeping it healthy will keep you healthy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 12, 2010
Practice hydrotherapy regularly by having a hot & cold shower. Allow the hot water to flow from your backbone for about 4-5 minutes. Followed by cold water for 30 minutes, then lay down for 30 minutes - make sure your body is back to a warm/normal temperature before you lay down.
A detox/cleanse can inspire you and the people in your life. They can also make you feel a much needed sense of accomplishment. Finishing a task, whatever it may be, comes with many positive feelings and can lead to more completed tasks. When you complete one that benefits your health and well-being, can be one of the most rewarding things you do in life.
Sweat it out! Sweating is one of the most natural ways to detoxify our body as it carries toxins out of our body and flushes them through the pores. Our skin is the largest organ and through the pores it plays a major role in the detoxifying process.
TGIF! We're heading into the weekend, which is the optimal time for most of us to take some quiet time to relax, go on a walk, work on a relaxing project, sit and enjoy time for ourselves. This detox principle can happen at least once a week in our busy lifestyles. Life is not about always being on the go…slow down and relax.
One important thing to consider when fasting is the proper rest needed for full reboot. Get as much sleep as you can and give your body and mind the much needed vacation from your hectic lifestyle.
May 5, 2010
There is a strong belief among fitness, nutrition and medical professions that 80% of our health is related to the type and amount of food we eat. When we begin to make decisions based on this notion, we begin to approach our health as a lifestyle instead of as a routine or unachievable aspect of our lives.
Breathing deeply is a detoxifying technique that is both easy and free. When you allow oxygen to circulate more completely through your system, not only are relaxing every inch of your body, but you are aiding the elimination of toxins.
Manage your food intake: don’t just eat fewer calories, eat better calories.
- Dr. Gaetano Morello, author of Whole Body Cleansing

Detoxing is about longevity and restoring health and not pushing your body to extremes. When you decide to move forward with a program, whether for one day or several weeks, make the commitment! First to yourself. Check your calendar, plan your program, let the people in your life know your plans to enlist their support and understanding. There is no reason to put your mind and body through any aspect of a detox or cleansing program if you are not committed. All of doubt, distractions and thoughts of failure disappear when you commit to giving your body a break. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 29, 2010
A simple way to begin cleansing your body is by drinking a glass of warm filtered water with freshly squeezed organic lemon each morning right when you wake up! Do NOT microwave the water!
Lemons act as blood purifier, improve the body’s ability to get rid of toxins and are excellent in fighting disease that's related to infection.

Underweight and overweight spring from the same source: acidity. Check your pH level by either consulting your doctor, or urinating on pH paper which you can find in a local pharmacy. It should be between 6.8 and 7.2, with 7.2 being ideal.
The main concept of a detox is to cleanse the body by consuming foods that are as close to their raw, natural state as possible and avoiding ‘stressors’ such as caffeine, alcohol and processed, ready-made foods.
Detox and cleansing are not a one-time, quick fix to erase all the things you have ever done to your body. Ongoing cleanses and detox programs are the best way to take care of your body that work 24 hours a day.
Add yoga into your weekly routine. Yoga, in general, is very detoxifying to our systems; not only through the postures but also due to the excellent breathing that we experience while doing yoga and through the hormonal balance created during our practice.
As today marks the 40th Annual Earth Day Celebration, when you partake in a detox or cleanse program you are going green by reducing the amount of food you consume giving the earth a little break. If you participate in proper program, you are consuming organic fruits and vegetables - treating the earth well by choosing non-chemically

When exploring the lifestyle of detox and cleansing, make sure to consult your doctor first. Also, ask around to see if anyone you know has done an organized Detox/Cleanse Program through a practitioner, company or at a health or wellness venue. Experiences, whether are good or bad will save you time and money when choosing a program that is right for you!

If the above dates do not work for you, please tell us what 4 consecutive days in May or June fit your schedule, by either commenting below or emailing us at abetterway@city.com We are running a few other programs in Miami.
The first thing we recommend is checking your calendars. The program includes at least 3 days of preparing (cutting out alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, no re-stocking on groceries, etc.) So if you have an event, family activities, heavy work schedule, we do not advise you to participate. Detox programs are mainly about giving yourself & your digestive system a much needed rest.
Each day the group meets in the designated location for approximately 1 hour. We pick the 1 hour times slots for each day based on the group's schedule. It may or may not be perfect but we try our best to accommodate everyone. The group session each person needs to attend is Day 1. The Detox Yoga is optional and the Day 4 Group Meal is highly recommended because it is filled with education and information on what you just did during the detox program and strategies to further incorporate cleansing into your lifestyle to increase your energy levels, maintain or lose weight, prevent back-up in other body systems, etc. - Plus, Day 4 is Fun!
balance detox's Cleanse Programs can be done individually or in groups. Our Total Body Cleanse Program is introductory and the best way to explore the process. Consumable items can be delivered directly to your home or office. For more information or to book a program contact move@moveremix.com.

detox tip of the day

Fennel is extremely helpful in weight reduction, as it suppresses the appetite. Fennel can be used to expel phlegm from the throat, eliminate toxins from the body, and purify the blood. This herb is known for its ability to fortify the immune system and be good for the eyes. Additionally, fennel aids in digestion, improves night vision, relieves gas, expels worms, improves the quality of milk in nursing mothers, and cleans the bladder and liver. This herb has been used to stimulate menstruation and can help too soothe the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, as it aids in digestion and related problems.
