Let Yourself Be Detoxified!
Look and feel your best from the inside out!
By Dina Fodero
ON THE OUTSIDE
Our skin is often a sign of our internal health. Unhealthy
skin may be due to the poor elimination of toxins and
waste products. Our hormones, allergies, dehydration and
stress can all play a part. When it functions efficiently, the
skin eliminates almost one kilogram (two pounds) of waste
acids daily, so its ability to excrete toxins is of paramount
importance. A clear complexion begins with proper
nutrition and a lot of water to help flush the toxins out.
The skin excretes, absorbs and protects. It has to
deal with the effects of sun, cold, heat, dryness, scrapes,
soaps, chemicals, perspiration, dirt and bacteria of all
kinds. It is a wonder that our skin 
stays healthy most of
the time! If the balance of the skin becomes disturbed,
especially through poor nutrition, the skin’s cells cannot
function.
The following recipe is for a great, simple drink to
detox impurities from your body. It cleanses your body
from the inside out and is extremely easy to make and
drink. Have one cup first thing in the morning and one
before bed. Drink this every day for one week, once a
month—you will see and feel the difference.
You’ll Need:
2 1/2 teaspoons of
good quality honey
1/2 lemon, squeezed
1 cup of hot water
Combine these ingredients in your favourite
mug, sit back, sip, detox and know you are doing
something good for yourself!
ON THE INSIDE
In our lives, we all experience the joys of laughter,
excitement, fulfillment and success. At times, we
may also feel sadness, rejection, disappointment,
frustration and fear. What can we do with these
negative feelings? Well, that is the question that
really needs answering.
What we need is to be detoxified from these feelings; if we’re not, they will gain power and affect our mind,
body and spirit. Having the courage to face these feelings and deal with them
can be easier when you have the right person to talk to—someone with whom
you can share your feelings, someone who will not judge you but support you,
and someone who will, above all, be honest with you.
Opening up is important in order to
detoxify and find clarity and peace. Do
not sweep all these feelings under the
rug. I have learned that in time they
will haunt you. So, seek the right person
to help you when you’re in need of
detoxification and embrace the precious
positive moments you receive: they are
the gifts of life.
