Purification Challenge 

 

Purification logoWhat better way to start the New Year than to challenge yourself?  Linea Chiropractic would like to invite you to our Purification Challenge.  Leave behind 2009 and start fresh from the inside out.  We would like to challenge you to a twenty-one day purification to jump start your New Year as healthy as possible.  For those of you who may have considered detoxification, or those who have never fathomed the thought, this challenge is for everyone.  All of the supplements will be available at Linea Chiropractic from Standard Process Whole Foods Supplements.  We will be available for twenty-four hour support and to answer any and all questions that may arise during your cleansing process.  Linea Chiropractic will also be offering a organized group detox starting in mid january with weekly meetings for program orientation and for those interested in sharing their comments or questions throughout their process. Ring in your new decade with a healthy body and mind!

This purification challenge is designed around Standard Process Whole Food Supplements. The program centers on what you eat, one of the goals is to taste food as it is supposed to taste. The first step is to purify, or detoxify.  This can help you remove natural toxins from your body and help maintain a healthy weight.  Purification offers your body additional support to expel natural toxins and minimize your weight, which is important to maintaining your health and vitality.  The purification process stimulates specific detoxification organs in your body, the liver, kidneys and intestines.

The main products, available through Linea Chiropractic Center, that are used to purify:

SP Cleanse:

o    Vegetarian supplement

o    Contains 20 different whole foods and botanicals

o    Maintains healthy liver function

o    Supports a health gastrointestinal environment

o    Encourages healthy kidney function

o    Promotes regular elimination

o    Supports the lymphatic system, a major part of the

     immune system.

 

SP Complete:

o    Whole food nutrition in a shake(see recipe below)

o    Powerful antioxidant protection to support liver detoxification, imune function and combating free radicals

Gastro-Fiber:

o    Softens stool

o    Regular elimination

o    Optimal environment for the natural growth of "friendly" bacteria

SP Green Food:

o    Contains five organically grown whole food concebtrates

o    Brussel sprouts, kale, alfalfa, buckwheat and barley  grass

Nourishing the body throughout the Purification Process is vital.  Nourishing yourself with nutrient-rich foods will provide the complex combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant that are needed to protect the body and promote optimal health.  Eating a variety of foods, and frequently throughout the day will maintain a level blood sugar range. After the tenth day lean protein is allowed, see recipe below.  Exercise is also important, try to workout at least four times per week for 30-45 minutes.  Yoga and Pilates are great ways to exercise while purifying your body.  Amanda McCarroll's Yoga and Bodyworks studio in La Jolla would be a great place to start.  Other helpful methods used to detoxify could be saunas, massages and acupuncture.

Upon completion of the Purification Program, you will have a different mind-set about food, your body, and your health. To maintain your health choose to heal you body every day by consuming pure foods rich in vitamins and minerals.  Continue to eat plenty of vegetables, fruit, and lean meat.  Resist temptation of sugary treats and other refined foods.  After Purification, you will have learned how to treat your body better by eating healthier and exercising more frequently in 2010!

 

Please sign up for the Purification Program by emailing Linea Chiropractic at Drlotufo@lineachiropractic.com or let us know at your next appointment.  Please sign up by Sunday, January 10th.  The first group meeting will be Friday, January 15th for initial health evaluation (physical exam) to answer any questions, share your experiences and view your progress.
