Detox and cleanses continue to be one of our favorite things to do at Organic Krush! We LOVE to discuss “The Why” behind all decisions we make, so here’s a little insight into why we cleanse! ALL bodies (organically fed or not) build up a variety of burdens in the digestive tract and when we clean that up, we thrive. Even when we eat a super clean diet, just our environment alone contributes toxins to our system.
This is not to scare you; our bodies are built to handle a lot (think gladiators, marathon runners, body builders, & women giving birth!!! ) yet, we like to help it where we can. With years of knowledge, we have discovered the joy in detoxing and the benefits in lightening the digestive load.
Going back in time, there were so many varieties of cleansing. Often, the cleanses involved suffering, severe hunger, and a struggle to get through the week. People do water fasts, juice cleanses, dry fasts (zero food and water.. gulp!), soup cleanses, IV infused cleanses, the list goes on, and perhaps there is a time when extremeness could make sense. We REALLY don’t like the suffering, as it doesn’t translate to future success with your healthy lifestyle. What we like is practical, effective, inspiring cleanses that positively impact your future by teaching you tools for success. Whether that be portion control, variety, fiber & hydration intake, or routine, the organic krush cleanses are a game changer!
In years of studying Ayurvedic and nutritional approaches, I have settled into a happy, non-stressful way of cleansing that has practical elements and future benefits. I will share that with you and why I love it so much for myself, my family, and customers.
I think a cleanse should teach you about yourself in the future. What can you learn about chewing slowly and digesting easily? What can you learn about portion control? Can you learn to enjoy eating early in the evening and sleeping well because your gut is light? Can you learn to go a bit lighter on caffeine so your nervous system isn’t so stressed?
Cleanses and detoxes lighten the load by forcing the “old” cells and toxins out of your digestive tract. When you eliminate the burdens out carefully, by using ORGANIC food and cold-pressed, non-pasteurized juice (the most nutrient-dense tool we have), you replace the old with the new. The high-quality intake replaces the old, and your system starts to lighten and heal. Organic Krush cleanses focus on incorporating a variety of juices and food throughout the day, along with the recommendations of high-quality water, lemons, Epsom salt baths, and other health practices.
We think 3 days of cleansing at a time is a fantastic tool on the health journey. Yes, some people go for 7 days or longer if they have the patience and stamina. But in 3 days alone, the cells in the gut replace themselves, and you fuel your system with energizing living food that breathes new life into your metabolism.
Some people lose weight (out with the old), but all people gain more energy and clear-headedness as you detox your system. We try to incorporate a Krush cleanse 4x/year, to align with seasonal shifts.
