More Information About The Spring Cleanse
Spring is arriving , and we are looking forward to this time of rebirth! Viviana Albarracin will teach us the importance of nutritional cleansing and its health benefits. We “Spring Clean” the body when we give it a break from rich and complicated foods by either cleansing or fasting for a short period of time.
Following the body’s natural rhythm, Spring is the time to cleanse. It is a great time to help rid the body of the toxins that have accumulated through the Winter. Viviana will lead us in a step-by-step process of one of the most effective cleansing routines available. You will get specific instructions on how to implement the cleanse. You will also learn about the benefits of cleansing and how to eat once the cleanse is over.
While you’re cleaning out your body and home, don’t forget to “Spring Clean” your heart. Throw away negative thoughts and habits you’ve been harboring that no longer serve you. A clean, open heart will allow you to receive all the good that awaits you each and every day. If your heart and mind are cluttered, there is no room for life’s gifts and surprises to enter.
Once you begin cleansing your body from the inside out, you should experience some of the amazing short-term benefits that whole food cleansing has on your physical as well as mental state. You may begin to immediately notice that you have more energy, better digestion, improved sleep quality, clearer skin, and increased mental awareness.
