If you pay attention, you’ll realize which foods ENERGIZE you and which foods make you feel like you just ate a brick. The other interesting and valuable thing is that the foods that energize are also the ones that provide excellent nutrients and cleanse your body of toxins, 2-3-4-5 benefits (immune, cleanse, remove toxins, nourish, energize…) with a single choice. Good food choices enhance brain function, mood, mental clarity, immune, REPRODUCTIVE, skeletal, muscular, vascular, cardio… tastes good, nourishes, detoxes, makes you feel good AND energizes!

The reason you want to DETOX with your everyday eating, is that toxins inhabit cells in your joints (pain), intestines (diarrhea, constipation, bloating), brain (foggy, poor concentration, poor memory), liver (the body’s filtering system), adrenals (fatigue)… everywhere actually. And you can remove them with food so that you function more efficiently and feel mo betta!
