Spring and sprung and thoughts turn to Spring cleaning. It's time to open the windows and get fresh Spring air circulating through the house. When I was a kid in the 50's we hung the rugs on the clothes line and gave them a good beating (that was always fun). We clean our yards, wash and wax the cars, and plant gardens.
Why not give your body the same care. This is a wonderful time to detox your body and even think about a colon cleanse. Your body's most important natural detoxifier is glutathione, an amino acid-based antioxidant. Glutathione contains sulfur and so toxins stick to it and are then flushed from the body via urine and stool. One way to increase your glutathione level is to eat foods that are high in sulfur. These include garlic, onions, radishes, broccoli, cauliflower and boc choy as well as egg yoke.
You also might want to consider adding gultathione building supplements like N-acetylcystine (NAC), alpha-lipoic-acid (ALA) and milk thistle extract (MTE) to your supplement routine. I take 500 mg of NAC, 100 mg ALAand 175 mg of MTE twice a day. Some people double the NAC and ACA intake.
In addition to a multiviatamin you may consider taking 500mg of vitamin C, 20 mg of zinc, and 150 mg of selenium. These all provide metal-chelating benefits.
If you have never considered or done a colon cleanse then you might want to read this informative article at Web MD: http://www.webmd.com/balance/natural-colon-cleansing-is-it-necessary. From my perspective I think that it is important and do a colon cleanse every six months.
To your health . . .
