TIDINGS THAT INSPIRE
THE CHIPS AND SODA
LIFESTYLE: ORGAN
CLEANSING
By Jennifer Mwangangi-Ayoti
R
ecently my clients and I went
on a cleansing program -
we do this three times in a
year. Did you know that an average
person has about 3kgs of old fecal
matter in the colon even with 1
bowel movement each day?
If ea ch of us took the responsibility
of living well, there would be no
need to concern ourselves with
cleansing 2-3 times in a year.
However, most of us are not living
right. We don’t eat the right foods;
we don’t get the right exercises,
most of us have sedentary lifestyles,
we don’t get enough fresh air and
sunshine. We are mentally, physically
and emotionally stressed out. There
are so many things we’re not doing
right, we can’t expect the digestive
system to function properly.
If you look at the statistics today,
our health care system is on reactive
mode - we tend to treat diseases
as opposed to providing preventive
measures, we are medicating as
opposed to educating. Why?
Because of bad living habits: Chips
and Soda lifestyle.

to manage their kitchens at home,
how to feed their families and how
to prevent recurrence of the trouble
that brought them to hospital in the
first place. Otherwise, they will soon
be back with the same, similar, or
even worse ailment.
You may think I’m a little harsh in
this, but my doctor and friend - Dr.
Kepha says that one operation leads
to another. Do you know why?
Because unfortunately nothing
was done to deal with the original
cause that led to the first operation!
We need to start addressing the
root causes as opposed to treating
symptoms. Lifestyle change is the
root cause. We need to know how
to become healthy and how to stay
healthy.
Allow me to share 3 lessons learnt
through my clients’ experience.
Lesson Number 1: Not sure if
cleansing is for you? Listen to your
body.
Our bodies communicate to us
every day. We are just too busy to
listen. Our bodies use the feedback
mechanism in the form of symptoms.
