WELLNESSYOUR PLEXUS GUIDE TO

Many people believe they can get all the nutrients they need from the foods they eat. But in ourmodern-day world, that is far from the truth. Knowledge is power, so let's explore whysupplementation is needed.Our food sources are not the same as they were a few decades ago. With soil depletion,convenience foods, processed foods, pesticides and other toxic chemicals, artificial ingredientsand additives, and food harvested before the peak of ripeness, we've lost a lot of nutrients.Also, in the last 15 years our daily requirements for produce have doubled, yet many peoplearen't meeting these requirements. Supplements provide antioxidants that we can't get 100% from food. Antioxidants decreaseoxidation and free radical formation, equaling less cell destruction which means slowed agingand less disease. Supplementation is also an easy way to boost your immune system for asmall cost. Boosting your immune system keeps you healthy throughout your life.The food and supplements we consume, along with lifestyle we choose, greatly affect thehormones which control our moods, sleep, memories, and emotions.B vitamins, omegas, vitamins C, D, E, adaptogenic herbs, and trace minerals are especiallyhelpful in balancing hormones - all of which are found in Plexus supplements. Supplementationhelps improve the body's internal environment by strengthening cellular protection, repair,regeneration and renewal..why supplement?

It means the products are working, but we want to educate ourselves onwhat exactly detox means. Assume that every year you painted your walls a different color. Astime passed, you layered color upon color. Finally, after thirty years, you found that the newestpaint was not sticking properly because the layers of paint underneath were cracking andcoming off. Now you decide to strip all of the paint off the walls and give it a fresh coat. As youstart to strip off the paint, you see previous layers. In the detox process, bodies work similarily.As bodies store fat, the chemistry of the fat reflects the internal body conditions at the time thefat was stored. Each year, a residue of viruses, bacteria, and toxins you were exposed to werestored in the fatty deposits. Similar to the paint-stripping analogy, as a body cleanses storedtoxins, bacteria, and viruses are released. As they are released, symptoms experienced withthe particular malady or event associated with the toxins are re-experienced, albeit in a milderform, usually.As a precautionary note, some of your old suppressed symptoms (and emotions) may reappearor escalate (others may never experience noticeable detox.) Die-off symptoms can consist ofalmost anything, but the most common scenario is that you will have an exaggeration ofwhatever type of symptoms it is that you already experienced for the first week or two similarto those listed below. Most of the detox symptoms that arise will not last longer than a fewdays or weeks. Here are some normal ways your body responds to detox:DistressNauseaDizzinessFeeling sick all overSugar cravingsAnxietyDepression

Your liver transforms waste so that it can be eliminated.Antioxidants are damage control; they sweep up the mess before it snowballs into free radicaldamage and runaway inflammation. Cruciferous vegetables—like cabbage, cauliflower, arugula,and watercress—are also high in antioxidants. But so does Biocleanse and XFactor!Continue to avoid sweet foods, even naturally sweet foods, as they will feed the exactorganisms you are getting rid of!

For example, bouncingon a mini trampoline will stimulate the lymphatic system and support your efforts to cleanse.Your body will also release waste as you sweat.
