WHY A DETOX? It is time for some good old spring cleaning! After all, many of us spent those rainy days of winter lounging around indoors and eating heavy foods. Now is the ideal time to cleanse your body and get a fresh start for summer!

SOME REASONS YOU SHOULD DO THE SPRING DETOX ARE: > cleanse your body (get rid of toxin build-up!) > give you more energy (recharge your battery!) > give your digestive system a rest (even our bodies need a vacation!) > re-set your metabolism (so it burns more calories!) > clear-up your skin (good-bye breakouts!) > kick-start your summer weight loss (sunshine is around the corner!)

TOXIN BUILD-UP ? WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON? Every day we are exposed to toxins that find their way into the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. The body does its best to rid itself of these dangerous substances by transforming and then excreting them through the lungs, liver, kidneys, skin, and bowels. Unfortunately, many times these toxins don't make it all the way out of the body. They get circulated back into the bloodstream and body tissues and many times deposited in our fat tissues. As these toxins accumulate in the body, they can become an underlying cause of a variety of health problems.

NOTE: YOU SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS DETOX IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING, YOU HAVE HYPERKALEMIA OR ABNORMAL KIDNEY FUNCTION, YOU ARE TAKING ACE INHIBITORS, ANGIOTENSION RECEPTOR BLOCKERS (ARBS), OR POTASSIUM SPARING DIURETICS. IF TAKING OTHER MEDICATIONS, CONSULT YOUR HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER BEFORE PARTICIPATING.

GENERAL PROGRAM GUIDELINES

> Do not make substitutions of your nutritional support product(s) or foods except those that are recommended. You should, of course, avoid any foods to which you know you are intolerant or allergic.

> Be sure to take all of the recommended servings of your powdered beverage. These products contain critical ingredients to nutritionally support your body's detoxification processes.

> Select fresh foods whenever you can. If possible, choose organically grown fruits and vegetables to decrease your intake of pesticide and herbicide residues. The "cleaner" you eat, the better the program will work.

> At certain times in this program you may select animal sources of protein. Look for free-range or organically raised chicken, turkey, or lamb. Trim visible fat and prepare by broiling, baking, stewing, grilling, or stir-frying. Cold-water fish (e.g., salmon or mackerel) is another excellent source of protein that provides important omega-3 essential fatty acids. Avoid shellfish, as they may be more likely to cause an allergic reaction.

> You may continue to take other nutritional products as recommended by your healthcare practitioner.

> Use purified, distilled, or mineral water to mix the powdered beverage. Avoid fruit drinks or cocktail drinks that contain added sugar.

> Drink at least two quarts (64 ounces) of plain, purified, distilled, or mineral water each day. Water flushes the system and carries out toxins, making it a critical component of your program.

> Sauna use is a relaxing and effective way to help flush toxins from the body.

o Suggested at least 3 times during the detox to assist detoxification. o Sauna use at Asula Chiropractic is complementary for program participants ? an appointment is required . o Do not forget to drink more water after using the sauna.

> Exercise ? deeper breathing improves circulation, increases oxygenation in the bloodstream, and helps flush toxins from the body.

o Normal workout is best (walk, yoga, gym, swim, bike) ? don't start something new o Strenuous or prolonged exercise may be reduced during the program to allow your body to cleanse and rejuvenate more

effectively.

> Adequate rest and stress reduction are also important to the success of this program.
