Celebrate St Patricks Day with a Healthy Cleanse

 Posted by on March 18, 2011

 

Spring is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the Lion turning into the Lamb than through a Detox? This March 17th, say “no thanks” to the toxic green beer and “yes please” to the extra helpings of leafy greens. Let’s start a Sanctuary tradition of filling our bodies with nourishing foods and giving our bodies the cleanse they deserve to jump-start a healthy eating regimen for spring.

Recipe Challenge of the Month: Go RAW For A Day.

Fill your lunch bag with Broccoli, Cauliflower, Berries, Almonds, Walnuts, Spinach, Lemons, etc. And plenty of water! Try to go a day without coffee sweets or breads.
This challenge is inspired by Discovery Health Channel’s Dr. Oz who experimented with 9 people who had high blood pressure. By encouraging the group to eat 11 lbs of raw fruits, nuts and veggies every day for 12 days, the group on average lowered their cholesterol by 25 points, lost 10 lbs each and reduced individual waist size by 2.5 inches. Amazing!

Pose of the Month: Wind Relieving Pose

All that raw food may slightly upset bellies accustomed to a low-fiber diet. This pose will help move things more naturally.
Lie on your back on a yoga mat or your bed. Pull one knee into your chest and allow the other leg to stretch out along the floor. Hold for a 5-8 breaths, release and switch legs. Repeat as needed.

Thanks to all of you for reviewing Sanctuary on City Search, Google and Yelp! If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, there’s no time like the present. It’s a huge help for the studio’s city-wide recognition and reputation.

See you at Sanctuary!
