In a quick-fix society, many look to a cleanse as a remedy for sloppy diets, AAS use, and other self abusing shenanigans. But do they work?
Many will say yes, and they can, but what's really happening? Taking herbs and oils and restricting foods, and ultimately causing the consumer to lose weight from dehydration, not eating much for 4-7 days, sweating, and shitting a lot.
So, if your body is already under stress, does it make sense to send it in the opposite direction by adding an equally stressing action?
A better solution is to allow the body to do what it's capable of - cleansing and housekeeping daily. Think arugula, chicory, watercress, dandelion greens, turmeric, cilantro, jicama root, etc... Eating bitter greens
As soon as a bitter flavor is detected by the taste buds on the tongue (located at the back), a signal is sent out to the vagus nerve which stimulates the various organs involved in digestion – stomach, pancreas, gall bladder and intestines. This signal increases the strength of peristaltic.
The vagus nerve also carries signal to the kidneys and liver. Eating the bitter greens encourages a subtle squeezing on these organs, thus cleansing them.
Improving digestion, preventing bloating, and even staving off liver inflammation can be easy as including bitter greens into your daily nutrition. Eat your veggies, they really are good for you
