Although Americans currently spend 20 percent of our income on “health” care, somehow, we’ve managed to be one of the sickliest nations in the world. More than 80 percent of the U.S. population is overweight, and many suffer from heart disease, cancer and stroke. The World Health Organization attests that 75 percent of all American deaths are diet-related. All major health conditions are heavily influenced by our toxic environment, in addition to poor diet and lifestyle choices. The good news? Many ailments can be prevented and even reversed with easy-to-implement diets and lifestyle habits—beginning with a cleanse.

Whether it’s exposure to chemicals on the job, undue stress or repeatedly eating nutritionally void foods, our bodies are constantly being exposed to more toxins than they can eliminate.

Whole food cleanses are safe and effective at supporting the organs of detoxification. In addition to lifestyle choices, a good cleanse features a nutritious diet that focuses on a balanced protein, carbohydrate and fat intake.
