Why Cleanse?
Cleansing has many benefits, but since it can be challenging, many of you may be asking why? What’s the
point? Well here are a few good reasons you should be excited about your Isagenix Cleanse:
1. Weight Control.
Studies show that intermittent fasting, and cleansing can help control weight gain and weight loss by
increasing the rate at which you burn fat. If you are able to do a longer cleanse, say two days, the
release of epinephrine and norepinephrine (those hormones that make you feel great after a workout)
may occur, which stimulates your metabolism.
2. Appetite Control.
There are a few theories on why cleansing can reset your appetite. One theory is that your stomach
shrinks when you fast, and therefore you just aren’t able to eat as much. Another idea is that fasting can
regulate your hormones to trigger hunger at appropriate times rather than intermittently throughout
the day.
3. Improves Brain Function.
While some of us may feel a bit “foggy” on cleanse days, you are actually doing your brain a favor!
Studies show that fasting increases a protein in the brain called brain-derived neurotrophic factor
(BDNF). This protein stimulates brain cell growth, protects existing brain cells from degeneration, and
boosts “feel good” hormones like serotonin.
4. Detoxification.
Cleansing, especially through Isagenix, gives your body the support it needs to exterminate free radicals
and toxins at the cellular level. Healthy cells mean a healthy you! Fasting also helps fight off infections
by allowing the body to focus on healing rather than digestion.
5. Mental Clarity.
Let’s face it, Isagenix cleanse days are hard. You are challenging your body as well as your mind to go against
what feels normal…eating. All the energy used for digestion is now going to other systems in the body
and allowing for a sense of clarity. If you are able to practice some gentle yoga, meditation, or a nice
long walk on a cleanse day, you may just begin to see the world in a new brighter light!
These are just a few of the many benefits to cleansing and intermittent fasting. Remember to be safe
and only cleanse for one to two days, drink lots of water, and enjoy the ride!
