The low-down on this week's seminar:

The new year is a time to begin anew and “clean up your act.”  You are constantly exposed to toxins from your diet, your environment and from your own metabolism.  There are a multitude of symptoms that can indicate a toxic overload within your body.  Unlike your automobile, there are no warning lights like on your dashboard to tell you to stop and fix something, but there are warning signs that you might be carrying a toxic overload.  If you’re feeling increasingly tired or sluggish, regularly fatigued during the day, anxious, stressed, or struggle with your weight, your body may be crying for a cleanse; consider these your “warning lights” telling you to stop and perform some much-needed body maintenance.

Cleansing and detoxification can be just the way to manage these pesky, often chronic symptoms.  If you’re like many people, though, the thought of “cleansing” brings up connotations of maple syrup with cayenne pepper, starvation, and bathroom breaks.  But you may not know that the body naturally detoxifies every day. Detoxification is a normal bodily process.  The liver and colon, to name two big players in your body’s cleansing world, work to eliminate or neutralize toxins day in and day out. 

But sometimes your body needs a little push when the toxic load gets to be too much for your body to control on its own.  Healthy and balanced whole-body detox uses your body’s natural cleansers to their fullest potential, and aids them in their detox efforts.  A whole body cleansing regimen adds fresh, healthy, home-made foods to your diet, cuts out the offenders we know we shouldn’t be eating—and that make us feel sluggish in the first place—and gives us a sense of mental clarity and body wellness, without the crutches of caffeine and sugar.

So how can you get started?  There’s a lot to learn about this purification process, and each person should choose the cleanse that is right for their body.  Thankfully, you don’t have to go it alone. Dr. Gaetano Morello will be holding a free seminar, Wednesday, January 18^th at GreenAcres Market on healthy whole-body cleansing.  Dr. Gaetano Morello is a naturopathic physician practicing in West Vancouver, Canada.  For the past 17 years, Dr. Morello has been training and educating physicians, pharmacists and health experts on the scientific use of natural medicines in the fields of cardiology, immunology, gastroenterology, anti-aging and detoxification. He is lecturer and regular contributor to a number of magazines, journals and publications, and has hosted and appeared on numerous television and radio shows discussing the power of natural medicine. This is your chance to hear one of the nation’s leading experts!

All attendees will receive a free copy of Morello’s book, Whole Body Cleansing: Transform Your Health Through Gentle Purification and Effective Detoxification.  Dr. Morello will walk us through where toxins come from, what they do to our bodies, and what we can do to eliminate them from our bodies.  In addition to highlighting intensive detox, he will also teach us how we can incorporate detox into our daily lives through a natural and healthy lifestyle.  You won’t want to miss this informative evening.  This is your chance to make a significant impact on your health!
