Pre-Summer Cleanses

5/10/2016

Q:  What can I do for a pre-summer cleanse?

A:  The best way to ‘cleanse’ or ‘detox’ is to give your body the nourishment it needs to support natural detoxification, while minimizing your exposure to toxins.  Many detox products and cleanses do not provide optimal nutrition to achieve this and can even deplete your body of certain nutrients, making you feel worse.
To reduce the burden on our bodies, I advocate for basic lifestyle strategies to be incorporated into daily living, rather than a ‘quick fix’ approach.  These include eating a wholesome diet focusing on organic foods, using natural household products and cosmetics, minimizing the use of medications wherever possible, not smoking, consuming alcohol in moderation, and practicing effective stress management.  Specific measures to support detoxification can be discussed with your Naturopathic Doctor.
