As life blossoms once again this season and your body begins to thaw from the long winter, take advantage of the pleasant weather to gear your body to a new level of strength and health. Spring is a time for renewal. Your senses reawaken and your body prepares for a more active season.
What better way to “get going” when “feeling sluggish” than to detoxify and cleanse your body. As you know, the kidneys and liver are organs of elimination. You can do this in many different ways. To flush your kidneys, try a tea with distilled water, fresh lemon and cranberry juice every morning, and drink plenty of pure water throughout the day.
For your overburdened liver, you may benefit from NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine), a more stable and better absorbed form of the amino acid, cysteine. The body combines NAC with two other amino acids to form glutathione, which helps to remove free radicals and heavy metals from the body. It binds to heavy metals, such as mercury and eliminates them as waste. It is not suited for those with acute toxicity as it takes several days to remove the metals. Some of the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning include impaired vision and hearing, loss of mental functioning, tingling or numbing sensations throughout the body, headaches and insomnia. Curcumin also has a powerful cleansing effect on the body. It is the active component of the Indian spice, turmeric, and has many healing properties, including possibly suppressing the development and growth of some types of cancer cells.
For many of us, springtime is far from being a bed of roses. It is also a time when allergens escape into the air and wreak havoc on those who are sensitive to the array of particles that dance in the air. Quercetin is a natural antihistamine that may help to relieve allergic reactions, including asthma. This bioflavonoid is found in vegetables and fruits. Apples (especially the skins), berries, tea and red wine are good sources of quercetin. It is used in sports medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties. It may also reduce inflammation caused by intense physical exertion, and reduce the chance of getting an exercise-induced infection afterward.
The birds are surely singing and so should you. As you do your spring cleaning around the house, be sure to do a good cleaning on your insides as well. Practice good health and a positive attitude and you’ll have spring in your heart for life.
