Detoxing = More Energy!
A big part of our daily energy quota has to do with how well toxins exit the body.  Just like getting an oil change for your car "keeps your engine clean and running at maximum performance" - gently detoxifying your liver and urinary system to get rid of 'sludge' in the body makes sense too!  Because our environment is full of stressful chemicals, such as food additives, preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, etc., it is important to have a lifestyle full of healthier food choices and periodic cleansing.

The liver is responsible for handling most of our energy needs. It takes raw building blocks from food and breaks it down into basic nutritional components. The liver creates and stores sugars for both immediate and long-term energy use. If the liver is congested or diseased it will not receive or send out enough blood sugar and your energy will drop. Chronic lack of energy, especially after meals, could be the result of a sluggish liver
