Magen's Favorite Ways to Cleanse

7/25/2013

It’s that time of year where we’re all wanting more energy, to feel lighter and more peaceful. If you can’t retreat to your favorite resort to get that revitalized feeling, create your own spa at home with my favorite ways to cleanse mind and body.  These five favorites are also flu fighters and cold busters.
 
WATER AND LEMON first thing in the morning hydrate get your blood more alkaline and get your digestive juices flowing start your day with my new Good Mornin’ Mixture:
  •  12 ounces cool, not cold water
  •  Juice of 1/2 Lemon
  •  2-3 drops of Stevia 
  •  2-4 drops of Oil of Oregano (I know yuck, but this stuff really works!)

 
Don’t want to make your own… Organic Avenue now has a little shot called D that is similar but has garlic. Powerful stuff - Whew!

TIP:  Make a big batch and sip throughout the day. If you can’t stand taste of Oregano, leave that part out.   Keep a bottle of the Stevia in your bag or at office and put a drop or two in each of your waters throughout the day.
 
 
GOURMET TEA INSTEAD OF COFFEE  Instead of that cup of Joe which can tap those adrenals - lead to more
fatigue, dehydrate and interfere with sleep , try making a yummy tea. The health properties of tea have long been known but what some people don’t know is just how 
different the quality and therefore your experience can be between ok and excellent tea. While it’s chilly outside, get some good ones to have around home and office and make sippin’ on teas a part of your routine. May help keep you from snacking as well.   Three of my new faves:
  •  Caffeine free/herbal ROOBIOS AND MIND BODY TEA by Plain Tea
  • Some caffeine SENCHA




GREEN SMOOTHIE: While everyone knows how much I love my juice.

I definitely recco a green smoothie over juice for breakfast as it will fill you up longer and keep those afternoon sugar cravings at bay.

Here’s my smoothie recipe and instructions on how to makelink to RYB juice article.  For an awesome green juice recipe from Joe Cross Director of "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" (one of my fave documentaries).  
Watch the Premier Episode of The Joe Show juice segment starts/ends 9:22-11:44.

SAUNA 

SAUNA talk about the benefits of the dry sauna, particularly the infrared

  • Gyms:  For NY’ers NY Sports Clubs have dry saunas.  Find one and join.  They’re affordable.
  • Russian Bath House/Other Bath House - This is most affordable option if you already belong to the gym.
  • Not in NYC or near a sauna - Get your own for your home: I own a Sunlighten mPulse Conquer .   It’s the Rolls Royce of saunas (and almost as big as one:) I don’t recco this size for NYC apartment dwellers.

     
    SOAK
    When you get home after your long day, while I’d like you to meditate, I’ll settle for you slipping into a warm (not hot) bath with Epsom Salts and a couple shakes oflavendar essential oil .While you’re in there, practice some deep four count breathing and Shazam! You’ve been transformed to your happy baby buddha self.
    • FAVE SALTS lavendar epsom bath salts on Amazon
    • ADD A COUPLE DROPS OF Lavendar NOW ESSENTIAL OILS

Enjoy! xoMB
