It’s that time of year.  The New Years resolutions have been made.  I know many of us have made the resolutions to eat healthier, lose weight and exercise.

You know the problem with those 3 resolutions and why it’s so hard to keep them longer than a couple weeks?

People have the habit of jumping in full steam and then wanting to see instant results.  Guess what?  It ain’t happening.

If you want to keep your resolutions, you need to change the way you are looking at them.  Don’t go all out on this big exercise kick, doing lots of reps that your body isn’t used to.  All you’re going to do is cause yourself a lot of pain for the following day, making sure you don’t want to repeat it.

As with anything in life, you need to start small and work your way up to your full potential.  Start with a 15 minute exercise routine.  Work this 15 minutes, 3 days a week for 2, maybe 3 weeks.  Your body will then adjust to this new thing you’re doing to it and want more.  Next up your time limit to 20 to 25 minutes, 3 times a week for another couple of weeks.  It’s a slow build, but it isn’t a shock to you or your body.

Another one is eating healthier.  We run out and buy all the good stuff, and shock our wallets.   Again take it slow.  As you run out of supplies in your kitchen, replace it with the organic counterpart.  Your bank account will thank you for it, as will your body.  I’ve had people tell me it’s too expensive to buy everything organic with such big eaters in the home.  As most do not understand, right now, we overeat because our bodies are searching hard trying to find the nutrients in it’s food supply.  The nutrients aren’t there because of the soil being over worked and the chemicals killing off anything good in the food.  Once you go organic, your body starts receiving these wonderful nutrients that your body craves.  Once your body gets it’s nutrients, you will eat far less, with no cravings. So after you adjust to the organic diet, your grocery bill will not be as expensive as it is now.

Added benefit to both eating healthier and exercise…..weight loss!  Those 3 just go hand in hand.

Remember take it slow, make baby steps in both the exercise and the change over to organic foods.  You will be more likely to keep those New Years resolutions and succeed at them through out the entire year.

Lately I’ve been asked why do a detoxification or a body cleanse?  The answer is simple.  You need to do a detoxification to remove the toxins that you are exposed to on a daily basis.

Our body do have their own detoxification system, but it was not designed to combat the toxins that we now encounter.  Because of this, we get a build up of toxins that starting breaking down our bodies.

I want you to imagine the plumbing in a house.  In a new house, the pipes are completely clear, and everything runs through them smoothly.  Years go by, you never have a plumbing problem.  A few more years, your plumbing is still working good, just the draining is a little slow.  A few more years, the drain is running really slow.  You don’t understand why, you call a plumber in to take a look.  The plumber tells you that you have a build up from years normal use, that the pipes need to be power flushed clean.

Our system works the same way.  We get a build up from normal use, it’s just our normal use is toxic because of our environment.  If our systems aren’t cleansed, we don’t call a plumber.  We call a doctor, because our build up has caused illnesses to develop.
