Detox Pure and Simple

By Dr. Don

You’ve heard the buzz and seen the promotions for the products, treatments and special fad diets proclaiming to be the best or only way to detoxify your body. You don’t need to make use of heroic cleansing procedures that are painful, difficult or expensive. To healthfully detoxify your body, you simply have to abide by some basic principles. Eat well and drink plenty of pure water. Detoxification takes a lot of nutrition, especially minerals. You’ll find all the minerals and vitamins you need every day with It’s Vital and Greens.

Why Detoxify?

When I consult with folks experiencing a pattern of poor health, I like to tell them about the “health equation.” Good Health = Detoxification + a Balanced Immune System. Whether you live with a chronic condition like arthritis or diabetes, a serious illness like cancer, or you just don’t have the energy and stamina that you used to enjoy, detoxification is your first step to feeling better.

Greens provides you with the nutritional value of more than eight servings of fruits and vegetables in each serving. The blend of 38 bio-active and bio-available herbs and nutrient-rich vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and enzymes helps your body to detoxify and alkalize while balancing your immune system.

Many folks I talk to will say, “Well, I’ve got this illness and that’s just the way it is. There’s nothing I can do about it.” I beg to differ! There’s a lot you can do.

For starters, be intentional about what you put into your body. Clean oil even helps an old car run a little better! But, put a little sugar in the gas tank and it’s all over. Most of us take better care of our cars than we do our bodies! Instead of lubricating our cells with pure water and feeding them the nutrients they crave, we load up on sugary, chemical-laden fast food, convenience foods, and soda pop.

When you rely on these man-made foods for nourishment, not only are you ingesting toxins, you also starve your body of the nutrients it needs to break down and excrete toxins that are already there. On the other hand, whole food nutrition, what I call God-made food, gives you the building blocks your body needs to flush toxins out of your system. It’s Vital supplies your body with all the essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients you need on a daily basis.

Simpler Than Science

Every day researchers are finding new ways that the nutrients in whole foods build our health. You don’t have to wait for their papers to be published! It’s easy.

1) Drink eight to ten glasses of pure filtered water every day. Water not only hydrates you, it also flushes out the toxins stored in your fat cells, liver and kidney, arteries and colon. Just like that old car will run better after a radiator and transmission flush—so will you!

2) Eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Abolish white bread and pastas from your pantry and opt for 100% whole grains. Fortify yourself with healthy proteins: free range eggs, fish, legumes, and lean grass fed meats.

Eat what you can eat raw—and the rest, cook from scratch. And, unless these foods come from your own garden, supplement with It’s Vital multivitamin/mineral and start your day off with a glass of Greens.
