How many things go down your drains at home?
Vegetables, soap scum, popsicles sticks, toothpaste, razor stubble, all of which get shuttled away somewhere and you don’t have to think about it again until that fateful day where suddenly there is a backup and nothing budges down the pipe. In comes the drano or the plumber with the big guns. When your plumbing plugs up, life is tough.
Well guess what all those burritos, pizza, burgers and French fries you pop down your personal anatomical set of plumbing pipes, same thing occurs. Over time things bog down, the belly expands, and the big scary noises start that make your family jump. The come up and they come down and out.
Your pipes are living things. Your intestines are organs just like your heart, liver and kidneys. We have the freedom to eat what we choose. However, we have to live with the results of those actions. Once the pipes of our body get blocked the energy drops, depression can set in, the weight piles on and the health problems generally follow.
Diabetes, heart disease, acid reflux or Gerd you name it…. The end result can be a shortened lifespan.
As we get older our pipes become less efficient just like in an old house. Also as we tend to exercise less with age and it gets harder for the body to convert food to energy especially if it is not whole, clean food. We generate digestive sewage.

So cleansing helps your digestive sewage to get from one end of your body to the other as efficiently as it can.
This is why doctors recommend a high fibre diet, with lots of fruits and vegys plus good quality oils such as omega 3s and omega 6s, at least 1 tablespoon a day and plenty of water. These are foods that make things move.
Yes a little bulk a little good grease and lots of water makes things flush down and out. When the body is relieved of some of it’s toxic burden then your energy will start on it’s way back up. The bonus is that you may lose a few pounds to boot.
