What’s in it for me? Cleanse your way to optimal living.

There’s a good chance that you’re having a coffee to keep awake while reading this. Perhaps you’re even on your third one. Now, what if you could reap the energizing benefits of coffee by removing toxins from – not adding them to – your body (because the sad story is that, yes, caffeine is a toxin). This is what these blinks will offer you: a way to achieve good health by cleansing your system.

You’ll learn about the Clean Program, which teaches you how to change your lifestyle so that your body can detoxify and heal itself from the wear and tear of everyday life.

And you’ll learn about the different toxins you expose yourself to daily, as well as how to go into a deep cleansing mode that expels these poisonous substances from your body. From the ideal diet to an array of exercises, you’ll get the tools you need to start cleaning up your life.

You’ll also learn

that most cleaners aren’t actually all that clean;
how many times a day you’d be going to the toilet if your diet was cleaner; and
what radical reorientation the Clean Program requires.

Detoxing can help restore the functions of our body that are being damaged by toxins.

If you’re not feeling well, you might go to the drugstore to get some meds. Or if it’s a really heavy cold, you might head to the doctor and pick up a prescription for something stronger.

But what if the problem is less straightforward than a cold or flu? What if the problem has to do with how your body is functioning?

Unfortunately, these days there’s an abundance of unnatural environmental and dietary toxins that are damaging your body’s ability to properly function and heal.

At virtually every turn, we’re bombarded with pesticides on our food and dangerous chemical cocktails in our cleaning products.

While companies have been quickly manufacturing stronger chemicals to be used for an increasing range of purposes, our bodies haven’t had the time to develop a resistance to these toxins. In just the last century alone, we’ve dramatically changed the way we eat and live, and it’s taken a toll on our body’s defense systems.

Toxicity comes with its fair share of symptoms, such as recurring tiredness and bloating, but these are commonly written off by doctors as signs of our body’s normal wear and tear. Most doctors will hesitate to do anything unless symptoms are severe, and in those cases their advice will be to ingest powerful drugs that add to the toxic residue in your body.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. There are viable alternatives.

Throughout the ages, healers have practiced regular deep-clean detoxes. In particular, Indian and Chinese cultures have long been proponents of detoxes for both physical and mental well-being. But in the West, today’s mainstream medical community has turned their attention away from these traditional practices and toward molecular manipulation.

You don’t need a doctor to start a detox program and reactivate your body’s ability to heal and regenerate. But before we get into the process, let’s take a closer look at the toxins you need to target.

Our exposure to global toxicity is made up of four layers.

At his cardiology clinic, in New York, the author, Dr. Alejandro Junger, noticed a worrying trend: many patients were physically, mentally and emotionally off-balance. Symptoms of bloating, tiredness, sneezing and moodiness were common, and it made Dr. Junger wonder whether it was all due to environmental toxins.

Everyone on the planet today is infected with hundreds of toxic chemicals that have only come into existence during the twentieth century.

Processed foods are more harmful than nutritious, but there are ways to eat healthily.

Who among us doesn’t love to gather around a grill on a weekend afternoon to enjoy some barbecued meat or veg? History shows that food has always had the power to bring people together, but the unhealthiness of much of that food is a relatively recent development.

Modern processed foods, in particular, are downright poisonous, all in the name of “safety” and turning a profit through convenience and making the food look as good as possible.

The buildup of environmental and dietary toxins in the body leads to puffiness and constipation.

When toxic molecules enter a body, they don’t just affect one area; they cause a chain reaction that spreads far and wide.

For instance, consider amma, the substance that, according to the Ayurvedic tradition of medicine in India, accumulates after prolonged exposure to toxins. A buildup of amma is a good warning sign that a detox is in order. Ayurvedic tradition believes in the importance of eating the right foods to keep your body in a healthy balance. When this balance is lost, that’s when disease will arise.

Before starting the Clean Program and changing your diet, you’ll need to prepare your mind and environment.

We can easily imagine what it’s like for an external cut on our skin to heal. The skin cells around the cut divide and start covering up the area until it’s completely healed over. It’s good to keep this in mind and apply it to the healing that needs to take place inside your body.

This is what the Clean Program does – it cleans out the wounds in your body so that it can start the healing process.

During the Clean Program, consume only approved recipes and supplements.

Don’t expect the Clean Program to be easy. To successfully get through these three weeks, you’re going to need to rethink your relationship to food and hunger and recalibrate your eating habits.

During the Clean Program, each of the 21 days will consist of one solid meal and two liquid meals, such as a shake, juice or soup.

Enhance your body’s detoxification process with special activities and exercise.

There are a number of complementary activities you can do to support yourself during the Clean Program, and while some are simple, none are unimportant. For example, make sure you get enough sleep, and don’t forget to stretch, relax and be kind to yourself during the 21 days.

There are also important activities that can enhance the removal of toxins from your body.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
