Ok Ok so you all know I am a big proponent of fasting at the onset of a new year. With New Year’s Resolutions and wanting a new start nothing will give you the upper hand like a fast. So I offer my Fast & Juicy cleanse every year to help those who want to take on the challenge as best I can.
But if you opted not to do a cleanse this Jan then hey, more power to ya! Regardless, whether cleansing or not, we all need to lighten up our diet after the holidays to allow our bodies to rebalance. Get thing back to normal by detoxing, even if it is just a little bit. Well great news to you then; you don’t have to fast to do some detoxification. AS far as your diet goes, I would shift things to more greens and water rich vegetables and fruits. Remember to keep it low on the fruits though, the holidays are full of sweets and you probably have had enough sugar to last you for the next 6 months. But adding more salads would be awesome. Adding marinated veggies like Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Back Choy, Choy Sum, Chard, Kale, Spinach, Broccoli, and Cauliflower… These are all water rich, easily digestible, nutrient packed foods. When eaten raw they deliver with little burden on your body huge amounts of

nutrients of a wide spectrum.
You can also add Blended Soups to your daily routine. Blending takes care of about 85% of the work involved with digesting food before you even put it in your body. This is awesome because again your getting a heavy dose of nutrients with vary little stress on the body.  You are also flushing your system through with liquid rinsing the internal organs. You are also delivering this nutrition in a form that can be more effectively and efficiently absorbed and utilized by the body. So that means more nutrients and using more of it with a higher level of results.  
But one of the most important effects of a lighter diet is it gives you body more time and energy to do some cleanup of its own. This we call detoxing i.e. using its internal functions to remove non-nutrient, non-essential and all other foreign substances from the body.
So what is so great about all this?
Rejuvenation!

Anytime we can provide a supportive climate for bodily functions to be increases we are helping the body to regenerate.
With the added quality nutrition, fueling body functions that are cleaning ,clearing, rebuilding, and regenerating.

You can also increast detoxification through other means. One being, adding detox teas in your daily routine. Instead of that second cup of coffee or sweet fruit juice, go for a liver cleansing tea or a colon cleanse tea, a relax tea or even a meditation tea. Some even taste OK.
Don’t eat late at night; give at least 2 hrs after eating before lying down.

Get message, especially a lymphatic message. Message helps move toxin and stimulating our circulatory system and relax us to muscles and release toxic build-up.

Sweat it out. Go the local spa, gym, health club or wherever you can and steam and /or sauna.

Colonic irrigation can do wonders as well. Weather you go to a professional or you do enemas at home. When we are in the process of eliminating massive toxins it helps to speed up the evacuation from the colon. This minimize the amount of toxic stuff get reabsorbed and entered back into the circulatory system.

Of course yoga and exercise will stimulate detoxification so you see when fasting or even when you are not there is a lot you do to aid the body’s own detoxification system.
