Green tea has a lot of health benefits and you can find this amazing tonic in a variety of different forms from bottled sugary teas, bottles healthy teas, tea bag, loose leaf tea, and the crushed powdered from known as matcha in Japan. Having said all this, colon cleansing is becoming widely known for its own health benefits and the word is getting out about how having a properly functioning digestive system supplemented by regular colon cleansing is helping to keep people living longer, and living better. So it stands to reason that combining these two methods of improving ones health can only help to boost both methods effectiveness in helping to cleanse the body and strengthen its overall function, and a green tea colon cleanse routine is just the method to get us there.
The green tea colon cleanse routine is fairly simple, when you do your normal juicing with fresh organic produce, you also should either brew yourself some fresh green tea, or consume high quality bottled green tea like ito en’s oi ocha which has no artificial ingredients or sweeteners, just vitamin C to preserve the antioxidants and flavor. Green tea’s natural catechins help boost the immune system and also help along with naturally occurring and safe levels of caffeine help boost your overall metabolism, so when this is combined with fresh veggie juice, the effect can be extremely powerful. Make sure whatever produce you use to juice is washed using a quality veggie wash, and make sure your produce is either locally grown or organic so you’re not juicing bas chemicals and pesticides.
Green tea is not just healthy as a tonic, tincture, or tea, but it can also be used as an additional and vital ingredient to a fruit smoothie or green smoothie. You might be wondering how this can be, because your obviously not going to blend tea leaves, and tea is a liquid obviously so that wouldn’t work. What I suggest you do is buy the form of green tea used in Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries called “matcha”, this is essentially the tea leaf ground up by hand into a fine powdery or granular form, this allows for the WHOLE leaf to be consumed and as such you get the additional high chlorophyll content that is lost when tea is brewed and you just get the extracts, this particular form of the green tea colon cleanse routine is great for those who are not comfortable brewing their own tea and enjoy smoothies.
Radiologists and gastroenterologists who are examining the typical patient in modern times would tell you that over 50% of people over 50 have what’s commonly known as a “fatty liver”. Generally if people have fatty livers they often have other very diseased and poorly running organs or parts of the organs as well. This has certainly been the case for myself when I was eating nothing but junk all the time, I had gallbladder attacks, occasional kidney pain, acidic stool which burned, and my urine was extremely dark which was a sign I wasn’t getting nearly enough water and nutrients in my diet. What’s worse is that some have abused alcohol over the years and its wreaked havoc on their liver, the good news is you CAN improve you livers condition with a total cleanse, your body has an amazing ability to heal itself; you simply need to give it the time, and nutrients to do so.
Your liver is an amazing organ, especially considering what it’s bombarded with on a day to day basis, but there are reasons as to why it’s health secrets are not known to enough people. Some in the medical community feel a total cleanse and the general idea of detoxifying your body is a bit extreme, and that eating healthy and moderate regular exercise is ENOUGH. This might have been the case a 100 or more years ago for many people. But modern life has prevented even those basic and very sound habits from being enough over time. This is because not all of our toxicity comes from food. We now live extremely sedentary lives in the unhealthy and stale air of our homes, and then when we want to go outside for refreshing air, we have all manner of pollution, chemicals, and allergens entering our system just through breathing! So instead of Being paranoid, a simple liver cleanse now and again will keep your body running in much better shape. After all your liver functions as your body’s main detoxifying organ, so wouldn’t it be wise to make sure it’s running in top shape?
Here are small simple guidelines to an easy to maintain if not daily liver cleanse and improve liver health:
4-6 Liters of water each day: Frankly this rule should be followed daily as it will have the greatest impact on your liver and overall health, and is one of the biggest contributors to the rapid weight loss experienced by heavier individuals. Please make sure you are using well filtered bottled water or well water.
1-4 Cups of green Tea throughout the day: Generally it’s best to do fresh brewed green or white tea, but if all you can buy is bottled, my recommendation would be Ito En’s Oi Ocha, and this bottled green tea is lightly brewed with whole tea leaves and only has vitamin C to preserve it for shipping and shelving.
2-4 Glasses of the Detox Combo I always Recommend: have 2-4 Glasses of beetroot,A shot of wheatgrass juice, Carrot and Cucumber juice; these can be mixed together with a bit of ginger or apple juice to sweeten the flavor.
