Detox-a-thon!

While preparing for my Gentle Detox class, I came to one major conclusion. Eat More Plants!!! There are two main reasons for this. First, whole plant foods have an abundance fiber! Fiber has the incredibly important function of carrying out the "crap" our liver processes out of our blood. If we don't have fiber available in our small intestine, that "crap" has no where to go but back into our blood. This is certainly not where we want it, so keep the fiber up by eating more plants.
Secondly, plants have antioxidants. Antioxidants are the protectors of our cells from free radical damage. This includes the cells of our liver, kidney, skin and intestines, the main players in body detoxification. When our cells are protected, they can function properly allowing the natural detoxification process to work properly. I spent the last few weeks really delving into the intricate details of the detoxification process. In the spirit of simplicity, I won't get into the nitty gritty details here. Although I am happy to donate my many pages of note to a good home.
So in conclusion to my already truncated post, eat your veggies and lots of them!

For those of you joining me at the Summer Party Favorites class, there will be more yummy kale chips! Doritos flavor to satisfy those junk food cravings.
