Every cell in our body is fueled by nutrition. Nutrition is the food we eat and the water we drink, the quality of which affects our very quality of life. Most of us eat the wrong foods, either because it is convenient to do so or we have trained our taste-buds to like junk. After years of eating the wrong foods and eating contaminated food our bodies build up excessive toxic residuals that can only be reduced or eliminated by following a detoxification process. This should be followed up with a healthy  life-style plan to keep you “in the pink”.

The detoxification and ongoing healthy life-style plan.

The process I would like to share with you consists of six parts. It is critical that each segment of the program is followed accurately. The program will help to optimize your body’s digestive function, detoxify your body and improve your metabolism and health and wellness.

The Six Step Health and Wellness Plan

1. The “DnG Detox Eating Plan”

• provides complete nutrition based on holistic dietetics
• supports the body during the detoxification process
• assists the body to eliminate toxic waste from the bowels
• no need for calorie reduction/counting or measuring portions
• the more you eat, the more you detoxify and the better you feel, and
• if you need to lose weight….you will!

2. Water.

• The body is two-thirds water and requires continuous re-hydration and filtration especially if living in the tropics
• Your normal water consumption goal, in litres per day, should be your weight in kilograms divided by 30. For example if your weigh 90 kg you should drink three litres of water per day.
• Your normal water consumption in ounces should be your weight in pounds divided by two. For example if you weigh 130 pounds you should drink 65 ounces of water per day.
• Whilst on the eating plan add one extra litre of water per day to your normal consumption goal.

3. Elimination.

• The optimal number of bowel movements is two to three per day. Once daily is essential.
• Detoxification cannot occur if your bowels are not moving.
• A gentle laxative is recommended in the early stages of the eating plan in order to achieve the desired action. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice on this subject.

4. Healing and Breathing.

• No strenuous exercise is recommended when you are on the eating plan. 35 to 40 minutes of walking, rebounding and light yoga are recommended three or four times per week. (Every other day)
• The body requires plenty of rest to recover and allow proper detoxification. Try to get at least eight or nine hours of sleep each night.
• Specific breathing exercises may be used to help increase lymph movement which assists detoxification.

5. Body Balancing and Nutrition Supplements.

• A lot of our food today is grown in nutritionally depleted soil, sprayed with large amounts of insecticides and pesticides, over-processed, cold-stored for months if not years and injected with hormones or genetically modified, just to name a few modern day ills.
• Where is the life force (Chi) in our food after this? Our food often ends up either nutritionally deficient or pumped full of toxins.
• Always opt for organically grown produce. This means stock that have been ‘free range’ all their lives, fed only organic feed and not given any synthetic dips, drenches or vaccinations. The farm and stock are regularly audited and inspected to maintain the “organic” label.
• We should be entitled to eat healthy food that has been grown naturally and not smothered with harmful chemicals, so organic produce should be the norm not the exception.
• Unfortunately the majority of shoppers still opt for the “cheaper” non-organic products largely unaware of what they are consuming or the harm it could be doing!
• It is highly recommended that a suitable regime of essential minerals and vitamins are taken every day together with anti-oxidants to help eliminate free-radicals. These supplements will ensure that your body extracts the maximum sustenance from the food you eat. We are proud to recommend Neways products that contain no harmful ingredients.

6. Ongoing Education.

• Become aware of your life-style patterns, both good and bad.
• Change undesirable or unwanted patterns through education and commitment.
• Get help to stop smoking cigarettes. Did you know that nicotine is more addictive than heroin?
• Reduce or eliminate your use of other “drugs” and excessive alcohol consumption.
• Become more aware of your exposure to harmful ingredients in the household cleaning and health and beauty products you use.
• Maintain healthy eating habits.
• Reduce your carbon footprint by understanding more about how you can live a “greener” life-style.

Make these six steps a habit and you will find you have boundless energy and a vitality that shines.
