BODY CLEANSE MAKEOVER Spring is a perfect time to not only refresh your home, but to also cleanse and reboot your body and mind. Healthy from the Inside Out What is a toxin? A “toxin” is any substance that causes harm to the body and “toxic load” is the accumulation of those toxins that burden the bodies systems and organs. Toxins can be inhaled in the air we breathe, ingested through food we eat, or absorbed when something is applied to the skin. Toxins come from countless sources, many of which we are not even aware of. Environmental threats, chemicals, and radiation are three of the most common categories. Excessive exposure to toxins can leave the body tired, bloated, and weak. THE KEY PLAYERS IN REDUCING TOXIC LOAD Enzymes Enzymes help cause biochemical reactions in the body and are crucial in processes like metabolism and detoxification. Fresh, raw foods naturally contain enzymes. However, when food is cooked and processed, these enzymes can be destroyed. Think of enzymes as workers on a factory line. The fewer workers you have, the less productive your line is. Slow downs and back-logs can occur. But the more workers you have, the more efficient and productive your line is. With DigestZen TerraZyme® you will get the enzymes you need to aid in digestion and support your gastrointestinal tract’s overall health.* Antioxidants You need antioxidants to fight free rad- icals. We can get antioxidants naturally from the foods we eat—especially fruits and vegetables. DDR Prime® contains a blend of essential oils that promotes a healthy response to free radicals while supporting healthy cellular function.* 28 / SPRING 2017 LIVING MAGAZINE Probiotics & Prebiotics Detoxifiers & Cleansers The digestive system is also home to trillions of bacteria, called microflora. The majority of these bacteria reside in the large intestine. These bacteria assist in digestion, produce essential nutrients, breakdown substances, and participate in immune messaging. To maintain the health of the digestive system, it is crucial that we have enough friendly bacteria. The body’s natural filtering and waste management system is capable of managing a certain amount of exposure to toxic influencers. But in our modern world, the body’s filtering system can be significantly challenged. PB Assist®+ Helps to establish healthy microflora colonization, improving long term gut health.* PB Assist+ is a blend of both pre-and probiotics. Prebiotics are substances, like fiber, that foster an optimal envi- ronment for microbial colonization and activity in the gut. Probiotics are bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal tract and are known to provide health benefits. PB Assist+ employs a unique double-layer capsule that provides prebiotic fiber in the outer capsule and a time-release inner capsule with active probiotic cultures.* This unique system allows the probiotics to be released in the intestines where they will have the maximum benefit.* Zendocrine® Complex contains whole-food extracts that provide targeted support for specific organs. It aids with healthy cleansing and the filtering func- tions of the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, and skin.* Zendocrine Detoxification Blend softgels contain Tangerine, Juniper Berry, Cilantro, Geranium and Rosemary essential oils and are key in supporting natural detoxification. Zendocrine also helps cleanse those organs of harmful free radicals, allowing them to function properly.* GX Assist® supports natural detoxification by creating an unfriendly environment for toxins in the digestive tract.* The proprietary essential oil blend helps purify and cleanse the digestive system while the caprylic acid supports overall digestive health and microbial balance.* Lemon essential oil helps support overall gastrointestinal health and provides a refreshing, invigorating aroma.*
