It was sometime ago, water wasn’t a part of my daily routine; my consumption of liquid only consisted of juice, juice and more juice. My eating habits were as per usual not healthy. Being in university full time doesn’t allow you to divulge into any practical diet/healthy plan, unless you’re on the honour roll and ‘constant’ studying was not on your list of things-to-do. I’m sure a few of us can profess that, every summer our parents would give us a full dose of “wash out”, before going back to school. My question is; as adults, when was the last time you partake in such activity? I think after a major illness, most people see how imperative it is to eat healthy.
Note: As university students changing your diet can be simple, especially if you live on campus and cooking is a part of your regime. Simply adding to your list, foods that will allow you to eat healthier.
Fast forward to the future
After landing my first job after University, I took the liberty to start drinking water regularly. Other than tea along with breakfast, I had water throughout the day, with lunch or with anything else that I was snacking on. That was the first step. Afterwards, I bought Multi-Vitamins/Fish Oil/Aloe Vera tablets. The Omega 3, is useful as well, it contains Flaxseed Oil/Fish Oil. They can be found at any Health Food Store or Health Brands on Molynes Road (That’s the source)
Colon Cleanse/ Detox Diet
I took the liberty of doing an extensive research on Colon Cleanse. I’ve started the process; the method I choose was the Good’N Natural Colon Cleanser, which contains 240 Capsules. I lessen the intake of certain foods like; white rice, pork/beef/sugar, my intake of sugar was blasphemous (I’m a chocolate fanatic, I also have a sweet tooth) I started eating food that was easier to digest. Preventing waste build up inside the body is an important part of maintaining a colon health.
A colon cleanse is simply getting rid of waste/toxins in the body, there are different methods of colon cleanse including; insertion in the rectum, a diet which entails drinking shakes etc. It’s important to choose one that suits you, therefore changing the way you eat also integrates in the process. The diet can be done within 2-4 weeks, after which, maintaining a proper diet is important.
