With an increasing amount of pollutants making their way into our food supply, our environment and more products than we could possibly cut out of our lives – the need to detox is ever more important. Detoxing our bodies can have a positive effect on so many areas of our lives, including increased energy, better skin, increased immune function and help to naturally reduce inflammation. If when you think of a “detox” you think of fasting for days or buying expensive kits, we’d like to entice you with a different option, one made at home with ingredients you probably already have, and the addition of SierraSil. Here are 4 recipes that will give you a gentle daily detox for a healthier you.
Drink #1 – The Canadian detox
- 1 tsp Maple syrup
- ½ Lemon (juiced)
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 scoop (2gr.) SierraSil
Organic maple syrup is rich in antioxidants and full of vital minerals, plus it makes us feel patriotic. Lemon contains ascorbic acid, which helps to detoxify the body; it also aids digestion, keeps your skin glowing and provides vitamin C, which stimulates white blood cell production and boosts immune system function.
Drink #2 – The Medi-gin
- 1 cup Steeped ginger lemon tea
- 1 scoop (2gr.) SierraSil
The
medicinalbenefits of ginger comes from gingerols, the oily resin from the root that acts as a highly potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Ginger is also known to warm the body and break down the accumulation of toxins in theorgans.
Drink #3 – The hot and spicy
- 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
- ½ Lemon (juiced)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 scoop (2gr.) SierraSil
Add apple cider vinegar to detox drinks in order to cleanse your live and lymphatic system. Cinnamon is an excellent
source of manganese, calcium and dietary fiber and a good source of iron and vitamin K.
Drink #4 – The double green goodness
- 1 cup steeped green tea (or macha green tea for extra antioxidants)
- 1 scoop (2gr.) SierraSil
Green tea contains powerful antioxidants, and it can reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, minimizesigns of aging and improve memory. Toxins accumulate in our cells and body over time and can wreak havoc on our health. In one study completed in 2006 SierraSil was shown to reduce lead in the body by 56.9% over 6 months at a 4gr dose (1). With this type of heavy metal detox, you’ll see an improvement in well-being and your body’s ability to regulate inflammation benefiting your joint health as well. For best results combine your detox drinks with healthy meals and 30 minutes of exercise per day. By: Melanie Trepanier, SierraSil Brand Manager References
