Body Cleanse Week 2

Hi Everyone!

Congratulations on completing your first week and well into your second!  .

With your pantries stocked and lots of great recipes in hand, week 2 begins.  For most of you the hardest part is over, getting past those first few days without sugar and coffee.  Way to go!!!  

This week is about initiating deeper cleansing.  For those of you incorporating some of the recommended products be sure to drink at least a cup of the detox tea each day and choose 2 consecutive days this week to start your Seasource Detox Body Cleanse. Don't do the entire 7 days, just 2 days this week, and then stop.  Eating is the same.  

Try increasing alkaline foods and bringing our Ph more in balance. This will help to increase water percentage and help some of you who may feel like you need to urinate more when you drink more fluids. An alkaline broth is very beneficial for increasing alkaline levels and is also a warm, nurturing beverage, especially on these rather cold days.
