Eat, Drink and Be Healthy: Cleansing
Question from Whom You Know:
What are good ways of doing "cleansing"?
Answer from our expert, Karim Fugel, CHHC, Reiki Practitioner, CST:
When cleansing it is important to be sure you have enough protein. After 72 hours without protein, your body begins to digest it's own muscle to compensate. Many cleanses sold over the counter are dangerous for that reason. At jf gymnastique, Dr. Portera and I offer cleanses supported by medical foods so optimal levels of macro and micro nutrients are maintained in your system while allowing the body to release built-up toxins. (Our jump start cleanse package is a 4 day cleanse.)
