Have you ever considered doing a detox or cleanse?
Maybe you know of someone who has done it and it sounded like something you may want to try for yourself?
Take a look at the following questionnaire to determine if you may benefit from a detox before the holidays to help you look your best for those holiday parties.
Do I need to DETOX???
Just like dusting your furniture and cleaning your bathrooms, the human body needs to be cleaned, too. Especially if you have a diet that includes packaged foods, hydrogenated fats and oils, white flour and sugar, or if you are exposed to:
- Second-hand smoke
- Fertilizers & Garden pesticides
- Vehicle fumes
- Dust
- Mold
- Mildew
- Animal dander
- Electrical devices
- Household cleaners
- Photocopiers
- Pollution
- Smog or Smoke
- Heavy metals
- Paint fumes
- Dry cleaned clothing
- Rain
Here is a checklist of symptoms to signal it may be time for a reliable “body cleaning”
* Do you experience fatigue or low energy levels?
* Do you experience brain fog, lack of concentration and /or poor memory?
* Do you crave or eat sugar?
* Do you have less than two bowel movements per day?
* Do you feel sleepy after meals, bloated or gassy?

If you answered yes to three or more of the above questions, it may be time to DETOX
