<h3>Leave the Toxins Behind</h3>
<p>A natural compliment to a healthy weight loss program is support for the detoxification organs. Energetic Nutrition&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/almased/synergy_diet.html#antioxidants" target="_blank">Detoxify Kit</a> contains the perfect combination of nutrients to protect and provide you with the guidance you have come to expect from us.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Random fat sampling by our EPA shows that all Americans store fat-soluble toxins from common chemical exposures in their fat. Daily we face an onslaught of pollution in our environment and most food resources. Many of these toxins, like PCBs or hormone mimicking chemicals, are proven to become elevated in your blood as they are released from fat cells during weight loss. You must be able to get these toxins out of your system as you lose weight, otherwise your fat will simply not release them easily and you can find yourself struggling to continue to lose weight past a certain point.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>A peer reviewed study published in the Journal of American&nbsp;Neurotoxicology and Teratology states that only small to moderate amounts of pesticides in rats cause excessive weight gain by damaging brain structures like the hypothalamus and the pituitary (Lassiter, 2008).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>When toxins enter your body they can be stored in your fat cells, due to the fact that they are fat soluble. When the toxins attach to the outer cell membrane, it causes the cells to continually release a hormone called Leptin. Leptin tells the brain to burn fat for energy however an overproduction of Leptin can cause receptor sites to become resistant and no longer function properly. Therefore, weight gain that does not respond to exercise or diet is inevitably due to Leptin resistance.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Toxins also cause the release of chemicals called cytokines that damage Leptin receptors in the brain (hypothalamus). Cytokines cause an inflammation response that impacts optimal liver function. The liver synthesizes stores and metabolizes fats. In other words, a healthy functioning liver supports healthy fat loss and maintenance. Detoxification is a necessary support factor to any weight loss program.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Detoxification is a process in which potentially harmful compounds are excreted. &nbsp;The lungs, skin, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract are all responsible for this detox process; while the liver is considered to be the major organ of detoxification.&nbsp;Within the liver cells there are a number of intricate mechanisms involved in the breakdown of toxic substances. Chemicals that enter our bodies, including drugs, pesticides, herbicides, and hormones are broken down by liver cells. If the liver is over-burdened, it has a difficult time performing these necessary functions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Our Detoxify Kit contains:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/source_naturals/CoQ10.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1136" height="150" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/coq10med.jpg" title="CoQ10" width="74" /></a><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/source_naturals/CoQ10.html" target="_blank">CoQ10</a> &#8211; Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)&nbsp;is essential to human life and is a crucial component in the primary energy production cycle. Research indicates that supplementation of this nutrient may enhance detox function and reduce free radicals. Also known as ubiquinone, is considered to be one of the true cornerstones of health.&nbsp; Without it, imbalances can occur and our bodily systems won&rsquo;t work at their optimal level.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/chamae.html" target="_blank">Chamae Rose Tea</a> &#8211; Chamae Rose helps promote the natural detoxification <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/chamae.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1137" height="165" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Chamae-Rose-Tea.gif" title="Chamae Rose Tea" width="124" /></a>process of the body with particular effects on the liver, lungs, kidneys, and lymphatic system. When the body is cleared of toxins, especially the liver, one&#39;s ability to lose&nbsp;weight can increase. Chamae Rose contains significant levels phytochemicals, such as polyphenols, a well-researched class of flavonoids that possess strong antioxidant activity and are noted for their protection from free radical damage and have anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic affects.<br />

<h3>Additional Support</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/lifesource.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1139" height="141" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/LSSuperSproutsbig.gif" title="LifeSource SuperSprouts" width="74" /></a>You can obtain additional benefit from a superfood such as<br />
	<a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/lifesource.html" target="_blank">LifeSource SuperFood</a> to your shakes. Superfood describes<br />
	a food that is naturally concentrated to provide all the nutritional elements necessary for optimal health. SuperFoods also contain phytochemicals that scientists believe protecs the body and promotes cellular wellness. A little bit of powder goes a long way in your shakes, or take a few capsules per day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1140" height="134" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/calcium-dglucarate-med.jpg" title="Calcium D-Glucarate" width="67" /></p>
<p>For additional liver and detoxification support, add <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/vitalzym/calcium-d-glucarate.html" target="_blank">Calcium D-Glucarate &ndash; Cellular Detoxifier</a>. Many believe that this nutrient aids the body in the elimination of many harmful toxins, including excess hormones, keeping the body well balanced. One tablet (500 mg.) of Source Naturals Calcium D-Glucarate is equivalent to the phytonutrient activity found in 82 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/ketsumeisei.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1142" height="100" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Kesumeisei.jpg" title="Kesumeisei" width="157" /></a>Almased is designed to reduce blood sugar and insulin fluctuations that cause cravings during other diet programs. For those with more extreme blood sugar or insulin fluctuations, consider <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/ketsumeisei.html" target="_blank">Ketsumeisei</a>. Ketsumeisei is a proprietary herbal compound that has been formulated to improve metabolic and microcirculatory disturbances like those associated with poor metabolism, Type II diabetes mellitus, and insulin resistance.&nbsp; Ketsumeisei has been found to help maintain stabilized blood sugar and improve insulin resistance by helping to lower free fatty acid in the body, according to clinical studies. Both Almased and Ketsumeisei are safe for those with diabetes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/almased/almased_wellness_tea.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1143" height="85" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Almased-Wellness-Tea.jpg" title="Almased Wellness Tea" width="65" /></a><br />
	<a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/almased/almased_wellness_tea.html" target="_blank">Almased Wellness Tea </a>&nbsp;stimulates detoxification by increasing kidney function and promotes restfulness and sleep. The tea can be used during the <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/almased/synergy_diet.html" target="_blank">Almased Synergy Diet</a>. &nbsp;It is naturally decaffeinated.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/pure-essence/one-n-only-daily-multiple-vitamin.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1144" height="127" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/One-N-Only-lg.jpg" title="One-N-Only" width="67" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left">We feel everyone can benefit from adding <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/pure-essence/life-essence-master-multiple.html">Life Essence</a> (part of the Detoxify Kit) into their regimen, because we believe virtually everyone needs the levels of nutrition it provides.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/2011/02/food-for-thought-while-cleansing/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1208" title="healthy food" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/healthy-food.jpg" alt="" width="110" height="118" /></a></p>
<p>With so many modern conveniences today, especially with regard to how and where we eat, it is easy to forget how vital a role food plays in our health.  The foods we choose to expose our bodies to can either nourish us, or in some cases, contribute to underlying health problems.  <span id="more-1207"></span><br />
Many people today are actually experiencing low grade food allergies or sensitivities that they are unaware of, which may be contributing to a general feeling of malaise, and could also play a part in more serious conditions including some auto-immune diseases. </p>
<p>It is a good idea to do a gentle cleanse once in a while in which you eliminate the top allergy causing foods.  Doing so will not only support your body in detoxing, but also help you to identify underlying food allergies. Dietary guidelines for removing specific foods that are known to cause sensitivity or allergic responses are offered below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/life-flo/complete-body-cleanse.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-976" title="Complete Body Cleanse Kit" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Complete-Body-Cleanse-Kit.jpg" alt="" width="104" height="75" /></a>Along with eliminating potentially problematic foods, it is a great idea to include high quality, well rounded supplements in your <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/life-flo/complete-body-cleanse.html" target="_blank">cleansing program</a>, to further assist your body in detoxifying and restoring itself.<br />
 </p>
<p>Basic dietary advice is as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Eat according to your appetite, but do not overeat.</li>
<li>Select whole foods as often as possible, they are the most nutrient dense when they are closest to their natural state [ie. <em>Apple (least processed)</em>, apple sauce, apple leather, apple juice (most processed)].</li>
<li>Include foods high in soluble and insoluble dietary fibers.</li>
<li>Drink plenty of filtered water.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Foods to avoid: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Any food that you know you are allergic to.</li>
<li>Dairy (commercial milk, hard cheeses), margarine and shortening.</li>
<li>Gluten grains or foods containing gluten such as wheat, oats, rye, and barley normally found in breads, pasta, cereals, baked goods, packaged foods, etc.</li>
<li>Corn and corn based products – corn is by nature gluten free,<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1366" title="foods to avoid" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/foods-to-avoid.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="161" /> however, it is a top allergen to many people and it can be cross contaminated with gluten based grains in processed foods.</li>
<li>Soy or products made from soy – such as soymilk or tofu, texturized vegetable protein (TVP), miso, tempeh.</li>
<li>Peanuts or peanut butter – peanuts are one of the top food allergens in the US.</li>
<li>Excess beef, pork, cold cuts, bacon, hotdogs, canned meat, sausage, shellfish, meat analogues made from soy.</li>
<li>Refined sugar, including cane sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and other forms of refined sugar.  Refined sugar is draining to the body, and can actually lower immune system function.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Foods to eat:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A wide variety of fresh vegetables, 3-5 servings per day.</li>
<li>Fresh seasonal fruit, 1-2 servings per day.</li>
<li>Wild caught fish (no shellfish during a cleanse), and moderate amounts of chicken, turkey, and lamb.</li>
<li>Legumes including navy beans, white beans, red kidney and peas.</li>
<li>Hormone/antibiotic free or organic dairy in moderation including plain yogurt, butter &amp; soft cheeses Note: dairy can be mucous forming and is considered a top allergen.  If you suspect you might have an intolerance or allergy to dairy, avoid it during your cleanse.</li>
<li>Gluten free grains and grain based foods made from rice, millet, quinoa, buckwheat or tapioca</li>
<li>Olive oil and coconut oil, in moderation.  Flax seed oil may also be used, but only in salads, smoothies and dressings.  Do NOT heat flax seed oil.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Beverages:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Enjoy: <br />
 </p>
<ul>
<li>Pure filtered water (8-10 glasses)<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1367" title="pure filtered water" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/pure-filtered-water-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></li>
<li>Herbal teas or green tea</li>
<li>Fresh pressed fruit juices. Pasteurized juice contains mostly sugar- if drinking pasteurized, water down with pure water.</li>
<li>Fresh pressed vegetable juices, or if purchased, then choose low sodium.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Avoid:<br />
 </p>
<ul>
<li>Alcohol</li>
<li>Caffeine (coffee, black tea, sodas). If you are a heavy coffee drinker, organic green tea is a good choice to minimize the effect of withdrawal.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>In today&#39;s world of technology, fast foods, pharmaceuticals and toxic chemicals, our bodies can be affected in many ways, from energy levels and stamina to how well our organs are able to function. The amount of pesticides, herbicides, fossil fuel emissions, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals that we are exposed to on a daily basis have reached record proportions, leaving our bodies struggling to keep up with all of the detoxifying that has to be done. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has reported that traces of toxic chemicals can now be found in nearly every American. Clearly our bodies are having to detoxify more today than they ever have before. This is where regular cleansing comes in. Many health care experts believe that in today&rsquo;s modern world, it is a good idea to do a gentle cleanse at least a couple of times a year, to help remove excess toxins from your body and keep you looking and feeling great.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><strong>What are Toxins?</strong></p>
<p>A toxin is any compound that has a detrimental effect on cell function or structure in the body.&nbsp; Some toxins cause minimal negative effects, while others can cause &nbsp;more serious effects, or even death.&nbsp; Toxins are often divided into four categories:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Heavy Metals-</strong> Including lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, and aluminum.&nbsp; Heavy metals tend to accumulate in vital organs, often disrupting their function.</li>
<li><strong>Liver Toxins</strong> &ndash; Including drugs, alcohol, solvents, formaldehyde, pesticides, herbicides, and food additives.&nbsp; Our livers are usually overloaded with these toxins because they are so prevalent in our diet and in our environment.</li>
<li><strong>Microbial Compounds</strong> &ndash; Including toxins produced by bacteria and yeast in the digestive tract can be absorbed and transported throughout the body, significantly disrupting bodily functions.&nbsp; These toxins can also include toxic amines, toxic derivatives of bile, various carcinogenic substances, and endotoxins and exotoxins from bacteria.</li>
<li><strong>By Products of Protein Metabolism</strong> &ndash; The kidneys are largely responsible for eliminating toxic waste products of protein metabolism, such as ammonia and urea.&nbsp; Excessive protein consumption and lack of water can inhibit proper kidney function.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>Toxins can be found just about everywhere; in our homes, in our workplaces, in our food, in our water and even in the air we breathe. More specifically, toxins can be found in:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="padding-left: 30px">Plastics, especially when heated or microwaved</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="padding-left: 30px">Pesticides and herbicides</div>

<p><strong>Internal Housekeeping</strong></p>
<p>Imagine what the inside of a house would look like if you never cleaned it. Dirt, toxins, and pathogens would begin to build up and create an unhealthy and uncomfortable environment.</p>
<p>A similar scenario can occur inside of our bodies when the liver and other bodily systems responsible for detoxification become over-burdened. When this happens, we can experience a range of health problems including:</p>

<h3>How to Gently Detoxify Your Body</h3>
<p>Detoxification is a process in which potentially harmful compounds are excreted from the body. The liver, lungs, skin, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract all play a part in detoxification. The purpose of a cleanse is to support these organs so that they can function optimally, thus resulting in a cleaner, healthier you.</p>
<p>There are many ways to do a cleanse. Some of the supposed &ldquo;cleanses&rdquo; out there can actually be quite dangerous, as they include fasting, limiting protein, and possibly ingesting substances that are in fact not conducive to cleansing at all. When considering a cleanse, it is important to take a couple of things into consideration:</p>
<p>First, you need to make sure your diet and your living environment are clean. Eliminate refined foods, sugar and coffee. You may also want to eliminate gluten, dairy, soy, and corn, as these foods are difficult to digest. People often find that after eliminating these foods for a couple of weeks they actually have a sensitivity to them and were not aware of it. Many people today have become accustomed to feeling less than optimal. When they clean up their diet and do a cleanse, they often experience increased energy and wellness they did not know they were missing.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1388" height="127" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/fresh-vegetables-300x272.jpg" title="fresh vegetables" width="133" />&bull; Include plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit, organic when possible. This should be the bulk of your diet while cleansing. Fruits and vegetables will provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber essential to an effective cleanse.</p>
<p>&bull; Include plenty of clean, good quality protein to support the liver during detoxification. Try to get in a moderate serving at every meal.</p>
<p>&bull; Drink water! On a regular day, you want to get in at least 8 large glasses of water. When cleansing, it should be closer to 10 or more.</p>
<p>Second, make sure you choose a high quality, gentle and effective cleaning product that includes all aspects of cleansing: Liver support, digestive support, and a gentle chelating formula to bind and remove heavy metals from the body.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/life-flo/complete-body-cleanse.html" target="_blank">The Complete Body Cleanse Kit </a>from Life Flo includes all three of these elements, and is an excellent way to jumpstart your cleansing experience.</p>
<p>Last, you need to get your body moving! Exercise promotes cleansing by increasing circulation in the blood and lymph, and increasing oxygen to cells in the body. Exercise is an integral part of an effective cleansing program, and should be done at least 3-5 times per week.</p>
<p>Also important to consider is when to do your cleanse and for how long. A seasonal cleanse is an excellent way to remember to cleanse every 3 months. The Spring and Summer months are especially great for cleansing, as fresh fruits and vegetables are abundant during these times of year. Generally a cleanse can last from 1 to 3 weeks, and depends on your lifestyle and what you feel your body needs.</p>
<p>It is important to note that when cleansing, you need to have at least one bowel movement per day, to ensure you are eliminating toxins that have been stored in the body and are being released with cleansing. It is also important to drink plenty of water to help flush toxins that pass through the kidneys.</p>

<h3>Products to Help with Cleansing</h3>
<p><strong>The Complete Body Cleanse Kit to Support Total Body Detoxification</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/life-flo/complete-body-cleanse.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-976" height="75" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Complete-Body-Cleanse-Kit.jpg" title="Complete Body Cleanse Kit" width="104" /></a>The <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/life-flo/complete-body-cleanse.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Complete Body Cleanse Kit</span></strong></span> </a>is a Triple Action Detoxification System created by Life-flo.&nbsp; It is designed to help support, detoxify, and rejuvenate us.</p>
<p>The Complete Body Cleanse Kit not only supports the body&#39;s own detoxification mechanisms, but at the same time enhances them. This triple action system works on the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and the circulatory system where a lot of heavy metals and other toxins can reside.&nbsp; These compounds are either generated by the body as by-products of cellular metabolic processes, or acquired through exposure to the environment.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of use:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Helps cleanse the liver and colon</li>
<li>Helps remove toxic heavy metals</li>
<li>Helps increase weight loss results</li>
<li>Helps increase energy levels</li>
<li>Helps improve the health of your skin</li>
<li>Helps promote overall well being</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>Calcium D-Glucarate to help remove toxins from the intestinal tract</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/vitalzym/calcium-d-glucarate.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft" height="87" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/calcium-dglucarate-med.jpg" title="Calcium D-Glucarate" width="45" /></a>D-Glucarate is a phytochemical that can be found in fruits and vegetables, such as apples, oranges, broccoli, cabbage, bean sprouts, and brussels sprouts.&nbsp; It is also made in small amounts by the body. Many believe that this nutrient aids the body in the elimination of many harmful toxins and lowers abnormally high levels of used steroid hormones including <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/articles/estrogen-dominance.html" target="_blank">estrogen</a>, testosterone, and <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/vitalzym/progcream.html" target="_blank">progesterone</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>D-Glucarate also inhibits an enzyme known as beta-glucuronidase, which suppresses the body&rsquo;s ability to detoxify many toxins using the glucuronidation pathway. When levels of this enzyme become elevated, it reverses the glucuronidation process and releases the toxins back into the bloodstream. (6)&nbsp;&nbsp; When detoxification involves <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/vitalzym/calcium-d-glucarate.html" target="_blank">Calcium D-Glucarate</a>, it is called glucuronidation, which is the process that occurs when toxins or carcinogens are combined with water soluble substances, allowing such toxins to be more easily removed from the body.&nbsp; Research supports a role for glucuronidation in protecting cells (especially those of hormone-sensitive tissues such as the breast and prostate) from dangerous environmental chemicals.(7)</p>
<p>When beta-glucuronidase becomes elevated, it reverses the glucuronidation process and releases the toxins back into the bloodstream. (6) Consider supplementing with Calcium D-Glucarate to keep the detoxification pathway moving forward. This will preserve the amount of glucuronic acid available to eliminate toxins, and limit the amount of free estrogen that is reabsorbed in the body.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of use:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Helps eliminate toxins and carcinogens</li>
<li>Helps eliminate used hormones</li>
<li>Helps reduce the risk of certain diseases</li>
<li>Has been shown to reduce estrogen receptors</li>
</ul>

<h3>Green Foods to Assist Detoxification</h3>
<p>Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants and algae that is responsible for their color.&nbsp; Historically, chlorophyll has been used to help improve health, including:&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/lifesource.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-767" height="102" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/LSSuperSproutsbig.gif" title="LifeSource SuperSprouts" width="52" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="padding-left: 60px">&bull;Bad breath</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="padding-left: 60px">&bull; Constipation</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="padding-left: 60px">&bull; For use in detoxifying</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="padding-left: 60px">&bull; As an antioxidant</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="padding-left: 60px">&bull; As an anti-inflammatory<br />
			&bull; For wound healing (1,2)</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Some evidence suggests that chlorophyll helps detoxify cancer-promoting substances, suggesting that chlorophyll may reduce the risk of cancer. (3,4)</p>
<p>According to the <em>PDR for Nutritional Supplements</em>, some experimental data suggests that chlorophyll may have some antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic potential, may help protect against some toxins, and may ameliorate some drug side effects. (5)</p>
<p>You can find excellent dietary sources of chlorophyll in dark green leafy vegetables, spirulina, chlorella, algae, wheat grass, and barley grass. Those who do not consume a variety of green foods in plentiful quantities may lack chlorophyll in their diets. Therefore, including a good &ldquo;green foods&rdquo; supplement like <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/lifesource.html" target="_blank">LifeSource SuperSprouts </a>which contains sources of chlorophyll, can help you get this important nutrient into your diet or cleansing program.</p>

<p><strong>Neutralize Environmental Toxins in Your Body with Aulterra Enhance</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/aulterra/aulterra_enhance.html" target="_blank">Enhance</a> is a homeopathically activated combination of natural <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/aulterra/aulterra_enhance.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-978 alignright" height="103" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/AulterraEnhance-med.jpg" title="Aulterra Enhance" width="64" /></a>paramagnetic and diamagnetic elements which neutralize the effects of heavy metals and other toxins on human DNA.</p>
<p>In several <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/AulterraDNAStudy.html" target="_blank">studies</a>, it clearly shows that the energy of Enhance neutralizes the negative effects of toxic elements. In 1996, the University of Idaho conducted toxic soil recovery studies utilizing Enhance powder. Samples of soil contaminated with lead and zinc were mixed with small quantities of Enhance powder. The pre-mix soil contained 200ppm of lead and the zinc measured 26.8. Two days after mixing Enhance into the soil, the lead measured .5ppm and the zinc measured 6.5ppm.</p>
<p>In 1998, Lockheed Martin conducted a study to determine if Enhance could neutralize radioactive elements. After six months, Enhance successfully reduced the gamma radiation of the control substance by 80%.</p>
<p>Enhance&rsquo;s unique properties activate DNA causing what is known as the quantum oscillation effect. This &ldquo;winding and unwinding&rdquo; of the DNA is associated only with healthy, normally functioning DNA. DNA exposed to toxins will not behave in this same manner. When exposed to Enhance, human DNA begins to repair itself, eventually achieving the quantum oscillation effect. With Aulterra&#39;s Enhance, your body can be in a constant state of healing.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of use:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Activates DNA</li>
<li>Enhances cellular activity</li>
<li>Neutralizes toxic substances</li>
<li>Reverses cellular aging</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>The Neutralizer for RF/EMF Protection</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/neutralizer.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-758" height="99" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Neutralizer-med.jpg" title="Aulterra Neutralizer" width="74" /></a>Studies have shown that cellular phones can damage the DNA in sensitive areas of your brain. Wireless equipment, computers, microwave ovens, televisions, and other electronic devices also emit EMF&rsquo;s that may be harmful to your health.</p>
<p>When Kim Dandurand, Aulterra Neutralizer&#39;s inventor, created the Neutralizer, the most significant criteria he recognized was that the product could never be practical if it relied on either blocking or absorbing radiation. Instead, it had to neutralize it.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/neutralizer.html" target="_blank">Aulterra Neutralizer </a>works by retuning the EMF frequencies of electronic devices like cell phones, computers, and other electronics to transmute the energy so it no longer causes harm to the body&#39;s DNA.</p>
<p>The Neutralizer is effective against harmful EMF/RF radiation when applied to any of the following devices:</p>
<p>&bull; Any cellular phone</p>
<p>&bull; Computer terminal</p>
<p>&bull; Microwave oven</p>
<p>&bull; Cordless telephone</p>
<p>&bull; Television</p>
<p>&bull; Video game equipment</p>

<h3>Maintaining Your Post Cleanse Glow</h3>
<p>After completing your cleanse, it is important to continue to nourish your body with high quality foods, fluids, and supplements, to keep you feeling great. While we cannot control all of the toxins we are exposed to, we can certainly take precautions to ensure we keep our exposure to a minimum and provide our bodies with everything it needs continue to detoxify efficiently.</p>
<ul>
<li>Reduce/eliminate your exposure to toxins in the home by choosing all natural cleaning products.<a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/regenacell.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1008" height="75" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/New-RegenaCell.jpg" title="RegenaCell Anti-Aging Cream" width="31" /></a></li>
<li>Use all natural beauty and anti-aging products like <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/regenacell.html" target="_blank">RegenaCell</a>, free of parabens and synthetic chemicals and hormones.</li>
<li>Maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber from vegetables and whole grains.</li>
<li>Take a high quality <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/lifesource.html" target="_blank">superfood</a> supplement regularly.<a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/lifesource.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1139" height="67" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/LSSuperSproutsbig.gif" title="LifeSource SuperSprouts" width="36" /></a></li>
<li>Maintain a healthy digestive system.</li>
<li>Take a high quality <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/sedona-labs/iflora.html" target="_blank">probiotic</a> daily.</li>
<li>Repeat maintenance cleanses throughout the year.</li>
<li>Have regular bowel movements (1 to 3/day is ideal).</li>
<li>Continue to drink plenty of pure filtered water.<a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/sedona-labs/iflora.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-1394 alignright" height="62" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/iflora-med.jpg" title="iflora probiotic" width="30" /></a></li>
<li>Get plenty of rest and sleep.</li>
<li>Eat organic, non-processed whole foods.</li>
<li>Exercise moderately on a daily basis.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<p><strong>Make it a Habit</strong></p>
<p>Cleansing your body regularly can lead to improved health and a reduction in many symptoms that may be contributing to poor health. Therefore, it is suggested to detox your body at least once year if not more (many people like to do a seasonal cleanse, as a reminder to cleanse every few months), while maintaining your improved health by following the above suggestions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/2010/02/superfoods-what-they-can-do-for-you/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-765" title="SuperFoods" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GreenFood-in-a-Glass.jpg" alt="SuperFoods" width="120" height="109" /></a></p>
<p>All people can benefit from superfoods!   A superfood contains every nutrient the body requires for optimal health and can help support most bodily functions, boost energy levels, increase stamina, endurance, and recovery time from physical activity.  They also provide phytochemicals and antioxidants that science has proven help prevent many degenerative diseases.<span id="more-764"></span></p>
<p>Superfoods are found in the first link of the food chain, such as plankton which is made purely from sunlight and water, and grasses which are made from soil and sunlight. Since they are so nutrient dense, very little is required to achieve significant nutritional benefit.</p>
<p>You can read more about these nutrient dense foods in our article <a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/articles/superfoods.html"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Benefits of Super</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">f</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">oods</span></a>.</p>

<h3>Detoxify with Superfoods       </h3>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/categories.html#detoxifying"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-766" title="Detoxification Superfood Blog" src="http://blog.energeticnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/DetoxSuperfoodBlog.jpg" alt="Detoxification Superfood Blog" width="109" height="143" /></a></strong></p>
<p>One of the great benefits we can get from superfoods is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/categories.html#detoxifying"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">detoxification</span></a></span>.   Detoxification is a process in which potentially harmful compounds are excreted.  Superfoods help us detox by eliminating toxins, such as heavy metals, which can weaken our tissues and lead to disease over time.  </p>
<p>Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants and algae that is said to be a good detoxifier.    Historically, chlorophyll has been used to help improve many different conditions and symptoms.  For example, constipation, bad breath, and skin problems, just to name a few.</p>
<p><strong>Dietary sources of chlorophyll include:</strong> </p>
<ul>
<li>LifeSource SuperSprouts</li>
<li>Dark green leafy vegetables</li>
<li>Wheat grass</li>
<li>Barley grass</li>
<li>Spirulina</li>
<li>Chlorella</li>
<li>Algae</li>
</ul>
<p>Those who do not consume a variety of green foods in plentiful quantities may lack chlorophyll in their diets.  Therefore, taking a high quality sprouted grain and green food supplement that contains chlorophyll, can help you get this important nutrient, as well as others, into your diet or <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.energeticnutrition.com/life-flo/complete-body-cleanse.html"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">cleansing</span></a></span> program.</p>
