I realize that our society is becoming ‘green’ and attempting healthier lifestyles, and that’s obviously a positive shift. But is what we are doing really long term. Today my pet peeve is The Cleanse.
I understand that your body accumulates toxins etc. and that they build up and can eventually lead to health problems. But every single person I know who cleanses does it in between drinking/ eating badly. So it is basically you taking out the time to attempt to fix the damage you have already inflicted on your body for 24 hours to a month (depending on the cleanse) and then returning to unhealthy habits.
In the long run does this not just put you right back to where you were. Would it not be smarter to improve your daily lifestyle little by little because the result would be the same in the end? Only with moderation, versus a complete change for your body, are you not stressing your insides with the complete shock of a new diet and then the added punishment of when you’re celebrating it being over…
Why not drink one night less a week, or gradually improve your eating habits. That would be a lasting lifestyle adjustment compared to a quick ‘fix.’
I could be completely off here and I would love to know if I am. I may just have to try one. Stay posted for my possible rebuttal of my ant-cleanse attitude haha.
