Cleansing gently more often is a much healthier way to keep toxins at bay, compared to a harsher once-a-year cleanse and all its uncomfortable side effects. The philosophy is that your body can maintain, restore, rejuvenate, and regenerate health given the right tools. But our lifestyles, environments, habits, and behaviours sometimes prevent it from prevailing and maintaining maximum health and vitality. Cleansing gently more often is a great way to help the body keep up its good work while being able to go about our daily lives.

What is the Ripple Effect?

When a pebble is dropped into a pond, it makes a series of ever-expanding ripples. This principle, known as the “Ripple Effect”, also applies to the body’s ability to heal and function optimally. Eating a properly balanced high-fibre diet, supporting the digestive system and cleansing regularly is like dropping a pebble into a pond: it creates a healthy “Ripple Effect” in your body. Regular cleansing will support the natural, ongoing digestion, elimination and detoxification processes.

Holistic eating at every meal

While many diets and cleanses report to provide the best benefits by eliminating many types of food – in some cases entire groups of foods (i.e., carbohydrates) – We recommend a holistic approach with a program designed to honour the fact that the human body requires a daily supply of healthy food choices in all three of the macro-nutrient categories: fat, protein, and carbohydrates.  The absence or limitation of any one of these macronutrients can cause metabolic disarray and a decline in health from optimal levels.

Fat

Eating the right types of fat is crucial for maintaining health as it helps the body regulate blood sugar and keeps the skin and other tissues lubricated. Using cold-pressed, unrefined oils in food preparation is recommended along with making sure to regularly eat foods that are rich in heart-healthy omega-3’s like DHA and EPA. It is best to keep saturated fats to a minimum and focus on healthy oils such as olive.

Protein

Protein is the building block of most body tissues and hormones. Adequate protein intake means the body will have the tools (i.e., amino acids) to rebuild healthy tissue and maintain proper hormone balance. Low quality or low quality protein can contribute to body pH alterations, ammonia accumulation, and toxicity.  High biological value (BV) protein sources are easily used by the body to help heal, restore, regenerate, and recover cells and tissues.  Higher BV protein sources do not leave behind ammonia residues during cellular processing and therefore do not contribute to toxicity.

Carbohydrates

Even though the recent trend has been to reduce or eliminate carbohydrates altogether, they are necessary for energy production.  Limitation of carbohydrate intake contributes to body toxicity by promoting a state called ketosis. Ketone bodies produced with low to zero carbohydrate diets change the pH of the body and contribute to toxicity.  Choosing whole grain, fruit and vegetable carbohydrate sources will add much beneficial fibre to the diet, fuel the brain to keep it alert and awake, and it will fuel the cleansing objective.  Quality fibre is critical to the cleansing objective.
