14 Day Detox

It’s been a while since my last post. Unless you’ve been living in a cave prebuilt to protect you from the

pandemic and shadow you from all of the current racial issues that have faced this world lately, you

probably are right with me. Lately, I’ve been somewhere stuck in the middle of silent shock and wanting

to join in on every protest across the country. While I realize consistency is critical in all that we do, in

all honesty, it has been quite challenging to focus on writing the way I initially anticipated. I find myself

questioning where to pick back up?

Well...first things first. When the pandemic began, I am sure you will agree with me that it was a huge

adjustment and still is. Feelings of extreme caution, curiosity, germaphobia, and concern all filled my

mind. And I am sure you can relate to remembering your mask before leaving the house, deciding when

gloves are needed or if you should spray your packages? Should I wipe down my groceries? Can I go

outside for a run without my mask? How long will I have to homeschool? Another Zoom meeting? And

this list goes on.

During the second week, I decided to finally commit to a 14-day detox, and this is what happened and

what I learned. First, NO, I did not starve myself for 14 days, but I did forgo solid food. This 14-day

detox is fully supported with daily supplement drops and coconut water, but that’s about it. My diet has

been plant-based, healthy for the last 2 years. I also did a series of blood work with my family physician

before starting the detox.

Okay. So enough explaining…I did it, and I have NO regrets. Here are 10 things I learned from doing the

14-day Detox through thedetoxnow.com.

 The body can function entirely without continuous consumption of food. WE often overeat

anyway.

 Detoxing is good for both prevention and cure.

 It is necessary to fast and give your digestive system a rest.

 Detoxing and fasting are more than just NOT eating. It includes resting your mind, detoxing

negativity from your life. It's more mental than anything.

 Resting is also crucial while detoxing for long periods. I was in bed by 9:00 pm, and up by at

least 6:30 am, meditating with “renewed” energy.

 You will feel better in the latter days. The first few days are tough as you try to "wrap your

brain" around not eating, but it is all good��

 You will completely change your mind about the types of food you consumed before the detox

and what you eat moving forward.

 You will want to eat much less and appreciate good, healthy food.

 Detoxing and fasting help with disease prevention.

 It’s WORTH IT….the benefits include clearing your digestive tract, skin becomes more

transparent and vibrant, energy is NEXT level.

If you are considering doing any type of detox, just know it is more than not eating and consider fully

committing yourself, and you will feel the results. Also, understand that this is not an easy process, and

you should take things day by day. Have any of you ever done a detox or fasting? I have gone back to

intermittent fasting, and it has been very beneficial to me.
