I\u2019m talking about a whole-body reset, one where you take a step back and ask yourself, \u201cWhat do I need to clean up in my diet?\u201d Think of it as a little spring cleaning for your lifelong home: your body.\u00a0Our bodies do a lot for us even when they don\u2019t want to. They get up at the crack of dawn after we stay up too late binge-watching Hell\u2019s Kitchen, they\u2019re forced to digest ingredients they weren\u2019t equipped to handle when we indulge in those special snacks, and they continue to work even when their muscles are tight from hunching over a desk all day. Our bodies put up with a lot, often without too much complaint, but when they reach their limit, you can feel it.Here are three signs that your body needs a well-deserved break and the best supplements to get it up and running again.Your digestive system is a little sluggishAre you feeling a little \u2013ahem \u2013 backed up? Do you wake up with a heavy feeling in your stomach or notice that you are bloated? It happens from time to time, but when it does, it\u2019s time to ease up on the processed carbs and increase the fiber. Ditch your breakfast muffin and make some plain oatmeal topped with berries. Make a bean chili for dinner or cozy up with lentil soup. Instead of snacking on processed treats during the day, focus on cleansing your digestive tract with whole fruits and vegetables, high in fiber and water. Speaking of water, make sure to drink half of your body weight in ounces until you notice that your digestive system is back on its normal schedule.Try Digestive Enzymes \u2013 The mouth and stomach naturally produce enzymes that assist in the breakdown of the food we eat. A compromised digestive system may be lacking in enzymes or stomach acid. Supplementing with Digestive Enzymes can get your gut moving again the way it should be.You are craving the wrong foodsOur brain craves the foods we put into our body, including the yucky ones. When we eat highly processed foods and sugar, we end up in a vicious cycle where we crave these foods consistently. Although harder to go the other way, when we fill ourselves with fresh whole foods, our bodies begin to crave them. Keeping an eye on your cravings is a good way to determine if you need a diet change. It doesn\u2019t take long for your body to notice. A few days of clean eating can transform your health.Try Chromium Picolinate \u2013 Eating poorly can cause our blood glucose levels to tumble out of whack. Chromium, a naturally occurring mineral, assists the body in balancing blood sugar, which may reduce cravings and ultimately help us make better choices.You lose motivationFeeling like it\u2019s hard to get off the couch lately? You start making excuses to skip your workouts, you begin to feel like the important tasks can wait, or you need an extra cup of coffee just to wake up in the morning. Feeling unmotivated could be a result of a poor diet; when we don\u2019t physically feel our best, our mental well-being also suffers. The brain and body are closely connected, and our lifestyle choices can affect more than just our digestive system.Try Cordyceps \u2013 Sometimes we just need a little energy boost. Cordyceps is a type of fungus that works synergistically with the body\u2019s natural processes and can improve symptoms of fatigue. Better yet, cordyceps works differently than caffeine and won\u2019t leave you feeling jittery or cause a crash.Ready to clean house?First things first; ditch the processed food. Instead of overwhelming and expensive detox grocery shopping lists, keep it simple and shop the parameter of the store first and save the middle aisles for last. The parameter of the store often contains your fresh produce, meats, and dairy. After you have filled your cart with the staples, you can then make your way through the rest of the store to look for your grains, beans, nuts, spices, and other items.\u00a0Not sure what qualifies as a whole food? Anything that you can imagine growing naturally is a whole food. For example, you can imagine beans sprouting up from a garden, but it\u2019s a little harder to imagine tortilla chips popping up from the ground.\u00a0Next, keep your system hydrated by drinking water throughout the day. You should also eat fruits and vegetables with high water content including cucumber, lettuce, zucchini, cauliflower, peppers, watermelon, strawberries, grapefruit, cantaloupe, and peaches.\u00a0Lastly, keep moving! Your digestive system benefits from physical movement. Even just simple stretching can get increase gut mobility.A healthy digestive system is what keeps us going, is it time for a cleanse yet?If you are looking for the highest quality Vitamin and Mineral Supplements personalized for you, please go to www.personanutrition.com and take their on-line questionnaire providing individualized vitamin and mineral recommendations.
