Despite the title, I’m not talking about massive rain or a flood…well maybe. After a consultation with a trusted colleague I decided to do a parasite cleanse. There may be a flood, but I’ve never cleansed before so I’m in for a treat. The proper way to do a parasite cleanse is a forty day process.
First, ten days of the parasite cleanse as usual. Then, ten more days of horsetail to help kill the eggs. After this twenty day process I repeat it. The goal is to rid myself of the parasites, however I should also gain a feeling of better health. Compared to how I’ve been feeling over the past year I would guess it’s going to be better.
Both during and after the cleanse I will need to work on repairing my gastrointestinal tract. Probiotics are going to be my best friend during this time. In addition, I will be consuming various fermented foods to help with friendly bacteria and energy.
Not only am I embarking on a path I have yet to travel, but I will also be starting a 90 day eating and exercise plan. This too is going to make me feel better. I would like to clarify that I am not starting a diet, I am starting an eating plan. I am changing my lifestyle especially in the way that I eat. Everyone knows that most of the food we consume in the U.S. is garbage. It’s highly processed and loaded with sugar, bad fats, sodium, and too many simple carbohydrates. I will be eating real food, prepared mostly by me (with the help of my little one), and I’ll be eating more often.
On that note, I must go now to start chopping and planning some meals for the next few days. Happy Thursday!
