a “clean” start to the new year

Almost every January, my husband and I kick off the new year with some sort of detox/cleansing program. This month, we are trying something pretty interesting: CLEAN by Dr. Alejandro Junger. It’s a three-week program that helps “reset” your metabolism and excise many of the toxins that build up in your body (this despite mostly clean, whole food living!). There are many environmental factors that can cause this build-up: pollution, toxic materials in petroleum-based products, mineral depletion in our soil, etc. – in addition to the stresses and strains of everyday living and aging. No matter how healthy I might feel, it’s always good to perform an annual “tune up”.

So we are going to give this program a go and will report the results in a few weeks! Meanwhile, if you want to check out the book and website, go to http://www.cleanprogram.com/ – let me know what you think!
