Not always feeling so great? Blues, sniffles, congestion, aches, foggy brain, tired, pimply reflection in the mirror, bloated, constipated, weak with no energy, irritable? At times like these people are often in a quandary, wondering “what should I do for myself to get rid of this badness — to cleanse it out, and not only get rid of it, but also prevent it from coming back? Should I go for fizzy ginger ale, chicken soup, chocolate cake, or what?”

Not feeling so great seems to be happening to us too often. And you have very real worries hearing daily news reports that toxins in food, medications, and the environment are getting into your body and can be contributing to a lot of this ill health. You may have also been hearing about the idea of cleansing — something you can do to help your body deal with this bad stuff. But if you are a little cautious, and curious, and want to be in the know about cleansing and your health, you are right to be reading this book — so that you won't be in such a quandary wondering what and how and when to do something good for your health. That's what this book is all about. Chapters related to your own issues will help you to find out what kind of cleansing path you might decide to take. All of the cleansing paths described in this book have great body-gratifying foods with nutrients that will help your body deal with and prevent those invaders and toxins doing their nasty work that makes you feel lousy.

Using a cleansing path to healing is not just a random idea found on the Internet, but has been practiced throughout history. Hippocrates, a Greek physician in the fifth and fourth century B.C. who is considered to be the father of medicine, is claimed to have said, “The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine.” Records about his methods describe that for some fevers and diseases he prescribed a fasting type of cleanse — using water or teas, or a small diet of thin or liquid foods.

While scientific research is limited on cleansing diets, there is an overwhelming amount of personal accounts and professional proponents of the health benefits of cleansing paths for diets. These benefits include better digestion and mental function, better energy, better skin, better management of weight issues, better moods, and better general health, vitality, and resistance to illnesses.

There is beauty in cleansing. Unfortunately, many people incorrectly think cleansing is only about the colon — and that may not bring about especially beautiful thoughts! But that is because a focus on the colon is only about an end, and what comes out — and when it comes to cleansing, your focus should be on the beginning and what goes in! As you will see in The Everything® Easy Cleanse Book, cleansing is a path to your health, and this book will tell you all about the best-known nutrients for you to begin the process. You will find out all the easy information about them, how and where to get them, and how to use them in a diet that is right for you to put them to work on your personal cleansing path to better health. Each chapter takes you through the steps describing the area of your issues, how they might come about, what particular nutrients the body uses in maintaining better health in these areas, what foods have these nutrients, and an easy procedure for developing your cleansing path for your issues.

Recipe suggestions are given and suggestions for before, during, and after a cleanse period. The information passed along to you about nutrients, foods, and the body systems are taken from many documented and published medical studies from universities and research facilities all over the world, and from published opinions of medical professionals and well-known nutritional experts.

Cleansing is about the beginnings of a journey to a new and healthier you. Since you are reading this book, you are already in the know about taking steps to make a change in your health for the better. The Everything® Easy Cleanse Book will take the mystery out of the realm of cleansing for you. You will be able to easily learn about types of cleanses, what you need to know to feel safe about the choices you make, what cleanses are directed to your issues, why certain nutrients and foods will help your issues, and how to make an easy path for yourself toward your own goals for your health.
