Welcome to Part 4 of Eating for Energy! Hope you are enjoying this special time of year, even with all the extra activities. This series, Eating for Energy, can help you maintain and even increase your energy levels into the New Year.
Reducing toxic load turns
out to have a lot to do with increasing your energy level. Our body has to use
a lot of energy to process the environmental toxins that we come into contact
with and ingest everyday. If we reduce our body’s workload, and therefore
energy expenditure, in processing and eliminating toxins, we have more energy
for everything else.
Reducing toxic load can
help reduce brain fog and boost our immune system, which can increase our
productivity. It can also help improve our digestion, absorption and assimilation
of nutrients, making them more available to support our daily activities.
Here are 5 tips to reduce
your toxic load:
1. Use herbs that support
our detox organs – liver, kidney and colon. E.g. milk thistle and dandelion.
2. Encourage elimination
through skin, our largest organ for elimination. E.g. sweating and dry
brushing.
3. Buy and eat organic
food as much as possible – learn about the “Dirty Dozen” list and try to shop
organic for this produce. http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary/
4. Reduce processed and
packaged foods, which are loaded with chemicals.
5. Replace household and
personal products with a lot of chemicals with those made with natural
ingredients.
