How to Give Your Health a Jump-Start By Cleansing

NORWALK, Conn. (WTNH) - If you're feeling a little sluggish and want to give your health a jump-start, Lisa Lynn of LynFit Nutrition says cleansing is a great way to do that.

"Cleansing is the number one most important thing you can do for your wellness," Lynn said.

Cleansing is a regular part of her life and she has a few tips to be successful.

"One is I don't eat between the hours of 7pm -- I try not to -- until about 9 or 10 am," Lynn explained. "Now that's a little longer than a 12 hour fast, but it's one of the best things you can do to kill hunger and cravings, lower blood sugar, decrease cholesterol."

When it comes to what you should eat, natural foods are key, except for kale.

"Everybody runs to kale but the reality is you should probably try to avoid it because it slows our thyroid help," Lynn said.

Instead, reach for leafy greens.

"And aim for baby mixes because they're fresher more pure and they have more nutrition," Lynn said.

One of the best fruits to eat during a cleanse is citrus, according to Lynn.

"Because grapefruits naturally cleanse the liver," she explained. "[It] literally acts like sandpaper and helps it break down."

When cleansing, Lynn also recommends supplementing your body with LynFit Nutrition's Thyroboost.

"It provides more nutrients than 30 pounds of produce but you're not going to get the insecticides, the pesticides, any of the things that clog your body and more importantly, it's going to keep your thyroid healthy," Lynn explained.

Raspberry Ketone Cleanse and restore also helps improve your gut flora. And remember, while cleansing, don't skip the protein.

"A big misconception when cleansing is that we should avoid all proteins, and while that's true when it comes to red meat, pork, cheeses, and the bad-for-you protein, your body does need some protein but it should be easy to digest," Lynn said.

LynFit Nutrition offers a non-GMO microfiltered whey protein powder.

"It's been purified of all the lactose, but it keeps the real pure protein intact that your body needs so you feed the muscle so it stays and starves the fat so it leaves," Lynn explained.
