Love Your Spring Cleanse! Common Detox Snags and How to Dodge Them

The “season of renewal” inspires many of us to celebrate health with a detoxifying spring cleanse. When done correctly, a gentle seasonal detox removes heavy metals and toxins from the body, resulting in numerous benefits:

· enhanced digestion
· better immunity
· stronger circulation
· healthier joints and muscles
· more energy
· greater mental clarity

The best part is, a healthy cleanse can be an enjoyable and rejuvenating experience, free of discomfort or the dreaded “detox crises”.

But it’s important to avoid the major pitfalls, which can cause even a well-planned detox program to derail or backfire. Here are some common obstacles which can get in the way of an enjoyable and successful cleanse, and the best strategies to overcome these “detox snags.”

Pitfall #1: Detoxing too quickly
This is the most common problem with many extreme or short term detox programs. Toxins are “quick-released” into the circulation, and the body’s elimination systems become overburdened, causing reactions such as headaches, fatigue, digestive discomfort and others. Certain extreme cleanse supplements, and some treatments, as well as rapid weight loss, can encourage the release of too many toxins from organs and tissues all at once. The resulting discomfort can lead many people to discontinue the detox process, without thoroughly addressing their toxic body burden.

How to avoid it: Start your cleanse gradually. Begin with the gentle, yet effective detoxification and chelation formula, PectaSol Chelation Complex®.* A combination of PectaSol-C® Modified Citrus Pectin and sodium alginates, this clinically researched formula promotes safe removal of heavy metals and environmental toxins from the digestive tract and circulation, without affecting essential minerals or causing uncomfortable side effects*. PectaSol Chelation Complex is designed to be used for a minimum of 3-4 weeks, as Phase I of a two-step detoxification process. This initial phase of detoxification is best supported by slowly modifying your diet to emphasize nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods, with a focus on organic vegetables and lean or plant-based protein. Gradually eliminate refined ingredients such as sugar, white flour, cooked oils and food additives which hinder the detox process. Once you’ve reduced your levels of circulating toxins, you can incorporate a more in-depth Phase II detoxification supplement, EcoNugenics Detox Complete®. This Phase II formula includes additional targeted botanicals and nutrients for more thorough cleansing of organs and tissues, without causing a “detox reaction.”*

Pitfall #2: Dehydration
Many of us are chronically dehydrated. During detoxification, this situation can worsen. Your body needs extra hydration during a cleanse, to flush out toxins and keep the intestines moving. Otherwise, waste products are stuck in transit, causing numerous uncomfortable symptoms and increasing your toxic body burden, because digestion and elimination become inefficient.

Simple Solution: Drink up to a gallon of purified water (can include herbal teas) daily, during all phases of your cleanse. Vegetable broths that are free of additional salt can also help hydrate and nourish. Avoid table salt and dehydrated foods, as both can be very drying. To keep digestion moving efficiently during a cleanse and year round, EcoNugenics recommends Integrative Digestive Formula®.* This synergistic blend of 19 botanicals, enzymes and nutrients such as cardamom, pomegranate, licorice and medicinal mushrooms, works to enhance digestive and detoxification capacity and alleviate occasional digestive discomfort.*

Pitfall #3: Cravings, Cravings and More Cravings
For many, finding the discipline to follow a detox diet is the greatest challenge. Even the most diligent health conscious people sometimes succumb to the plethora of temptations surrounding us. If you stray away from your detox program, don’t be too hard on yourself! You can always start again.

How to cut down cravings: For most people, it actually only takes a few days of a whole foods detox diet, before our bodies and minds begin to hunger after healthier foods. But sweet longings can still linger. That’s where certain botanicals and nutrients offer strategic support, by curbing cravings for unhealthy foods. EcoNugenics Integrative Metabolic Formula® is an excellent choice during a cleanse and as a daily supplement, because it works to eliminate sugar cravings and balance blood glucose to prevent “crashes.”* This unique formula is made with a blend of Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese herbs and botanicals, together with targeted nutrients, to support healthy metabolism, balance glucose and insulin levels, and cut cravings.*
