Raw Cleansing – Benefits & Timeframes

I originally got into cleansing with the goal of losing weight.  What happened was people started to notice how nice and clear my skin was.  Well that is not something I have ever had a compliment on and so it got my attention.  Other benefits also began to happen and to be honest, weight loss has taken a back seat to them now.

Benefits from raw cleansing:

• Improved energy
• Clear glowing skin
• More mental clarity
• Stronger intuition
• More radiant presence
• Feeling connected with life
• Enhanced creativity
• Being more in the flow with life
• Less inflammation
• Weight loss
• Improved hydration
• Slowed aging
• Reduced symptoms of disease

Who doesn’t want some of these in their life?  So, over time I have done raw cleanses and introduced more raw foods into my life thereby reaping the benefits above.  I usually aim to do a cleanse with the change of seasons.  I sometimes skip winter or try to push it closer to Fall as I find in colder weather it is more challenging for me to stick with a 100% raw diet.

So about now you might be thinking that you want to try a raw cleanse.  If this is your first cleanse, I usually suggest doing a 6 day cleanse.  The first 3-4 days are usually the hardest, so that’s why doing at least 6 days is recommended.  This will allow you to also enjoy the benefits of increased energy, clearer skin, a clearer mind and often just feeling more connected and alive!  After you have success with a 6 day cleanse, the next time you can do a cleanse for 2-3 weeks.  Each time you will learn more about your own body and how it handles a cleanse.  This will boost your confidence and ability to create a plan that works for you.
