Here is a typical day in my life incorporating things which I have learned have much health value. Now you may think that this takes a lot of time and thought, but not so. There are a lot of things that we can do for ourselves that do not take much time or effort if we only knew about them – which is why I am sharing them.
I am sure that you can add to the list. I welcome your questions and rumblings – maybe even rantings.
Before rising
Cleansing allows the body to rejuvenate and unburden itself. Every single culture throughout history has practiced cleansing. Colon cleansing is the basic unifying factor of all natural health customs.
When you decide to cleanse, go slow and take into account your own personality, lifestyle, willpower, likes and dislikes, and the condition of your colon.
