Cleanse your body without harsh laxatives.
11. Reduce exposure to environmental toxins.
Toxins can be found in everything from cleaning products to beauty creams! These chemicals can reduce the level of good bacteria in the digestive system. Give your colon—and the rest of your body—a break by turning to products based on natural ingredients. There are an increasing number of natural products available in stores, or mix homemade products with recipes like DIY Natural Muscle Relaxer Cream or DIY All Natural Pet Stain Remover.
12. Release stress and other negative emotions.
Stress triggers the body’s release of cortisol, a hormone that shoves you into a physiological state of high alert. And while stress can be a normal part of life, persistent stress exposes the body to a steady stream of cortisol, wreaking havoc on hormones so you’re more likely to reach for salty or sweet “comfort” foods. Reduce stress and other negative emotions by finding healthy relief techniques, such as meditation, yoga, exercise, or journaling.

Hi, I am 53 and I work in the construction industry as a flagger anywhere from 10-12 hours a day. Sometimes 6 days a week. My job is relatively physical (standing and walking) and I used to go to pole dance class 3-4 times a week. I am going through menopause and my body is changing in ways I do not like. I am not a junk food eater and really do eat very healthy anyway (except for beer & wine). My question is do you have any advice/food options for individuals going through menopause to help with weight gain/tummy bulge? I am going to do your 3 day detox soon and I hope this gets me motivated. I appreciate your advice, recipes and your time. Thank you.
