Spring has sprung! It's time again for spring cleaning. It feels so good to put away the heavy sweaters, and refresh the home and yard. Our focus this spring should also include a good clean up inside the body so we can enjoy summer in good health.

Food choices tend to change throughout the year. When fresh fruits and vegetables are not as plentiful during the winter months, we tend to consume more meat, bread, pasta and processed foods. These foods, when eaten too often, tend to cause the body to become too acidic.

The summer will bring wonderful fresh alkaline foods into our homes once the garden begins to grow. In order to assimilate these live foods the very best, we need to eliminate excess stored toxicity from the body first.

Our body is not able to function at peak performance when acidic foods cause the intestines to produce a heavy mucous coating. When this occurs, the intestine is not able to absorb nutrients very well. An abundance of acidic foods also cause the intestines to hold on to harmful bacteria. These two problems contribute towards constipation and autointoxication. Meaning, since the intestinal wall is plastered with toxic substances, it can't reach all the nutrients in the diet, and therefore begins to re-absorb the toxic materials into the blood stream.

The liver is another area that needs some attention. This organ is responsible for filtering toxicity, and therefore decides what nourishes our cells. As it becomes "full" it is not as particular about how "healthy" the food particles must be that pass through it, before entering our blood stream.
