We are so very “clean” as a society in regards to showering, washing our hair, keeping our hands and nails clean, having pedicures, exfoliating. etc. But we don’t pay much attention to cleaning our insides, mostly because we can’t see them! But we certainly can feel them. Our bodies are busy daily detoxifying but with the toxic load (due to the foods we eat, beverages we drink, and environmental pollutants) our bodies have to cope with over time, every system in the human body can become affected. This includes our skin on the outside as well. Constipation, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, stubborn wait loss, skin issues, etc all can be signs of a toxic overload. Here are some cleansing tips for you: 1) Drink plenty of filtered water 2) Keep your bowels moving! (taking a good probiotic, chia/flax seeds, and magnesium along with a proper diet and plenty of water should help with this) 3) Consume 8-10 servings of colorful organic fruits/vegetables daily 4) Avoid stimulants, sedatives, drugs, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol as much as possible. (If you drink wine, organic wine only) 5) Sweat. Try to sweat at least a couple of times a week either by a sauna, steam, or detox bath, as well as exercise. 6) Take a high quality food based multivitamin and mineral as well as keep up on your vitamin d (the sunshine vitamin), probiotic, and fish/cod liver oil. 7) RELAX DEEPLY DAILY to get your nervous system in a state of calm, rest, and relaxation. None of us are perfect, but we need to be the best that we can be.

APPLE PARSNIP SOUP Any apples do well in this soup. I love using Fuji or Gala but use whatever that you have handy. Please make sure you use organic apples since they are one of the “dirty dozen” in regards to excessive use of pesticides. Parsnips are a root vegetable closely related to the carrot family and are loaded with vitamin C and fiber as well as “polyacetylene” which is a compound that has been found in research to have anti-inflammatory, anti- fungal, and anti- cancer function and may even offer protection from colon cancer. This is a lovely tasting pureed soup that is slightly sweet and very filling. Eating soups daily helps with weight management and allows you to get your important veggies in as well. This soup has ginger as well so it has a nice bite to it. It is worth your while to purchase an immersion blender which is a hand held blender that you can easily puree’ soups with without having to let cool and place in blender. They are inexpensive and come in very handy. 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup chopped onion 2 ½ cups of chopped peeled apples 1 ½ teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger 1 teaspoon ground cardomom 1 garlic clove, minced 3 ½ cups of chopped peeled parsnips 4 ½ cups chicken broth ½ cup apple cider 1 teaspoon sea salt Grating of black pepper Dollop of Greek yogurt Heat oil in a Dutch oven/stock pan over medium heat and add onion. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add apples and next 3 ingredients (up to the garlic) and cook a bit more, stirring constantly. Add parsnips, broth and cider and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes until parsnips are tender. Add salt and pepper. Now is the time to pull out your immersion blender and puree’ until smooth. Adjust seasonings, and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt . ENJOY!!!
