Now, in as little time as it takes to sip a cup of tea, you can begin to reverse the effects of time and to feel as young and energetic as you want.
How the body ages:
six stages of deterioration
As toxins and free radicals accumulate, their presence triggers the body's aging, a progression of events that, if unchecked, leads to serious health problems. Each one of these events, or stages of disease, is accompanied by noticeable physical symptoms.
1. Lack of energy
Energy levels are directly impacted by nutrition and the body's ability to break down and absorb the nutrients contained in food. Food that is not broken down properly, poorly absorbed, or low in nutritional value leaves us feeling tired, sluggish and unrested: Failure to properly digest food leaves it to putrefy and ferment, turning it into toxic substances that pass from the blood into tissues. This undigested food (called chyme) becomes encrusted on intestinal walls, further obstructing the absorption of nutrients and depleting the body of energy.
2. Accumulation of toxins
Poor digestion, constipation and irregular bowel movements are signs that the body is not disposing of waste properly, leading to an accumulation of toxins. A bowel movement
once or less per day is cause for concern. For example, a baby has a bowel movement soon after it has finished feeding. This accumulation of toxins causes damage at the cellular level.
3. Irritation
Rising levels of toxic material in the body cause irritation both internally and externally. The warning signs are itchy or irritated skin, rashes, nausea, insomnia or mood swings.
These are signals that the body's elimination pathways are not working properly and are no longer able to effectively remove toxins and waste.
4. Inflammation
This stage is marked by the presence of pain and visible swelling. Inflammation occurs if there is constant irritation to areas where toxins continue to accumulate. This stage is a precursor to serious damage.
5. Ulceration
Ulcers occur in localized areas of the body where high levels of stored toxins destroy the cells and tissues around them. Increased pain is felt at this stage, as nerves are now exposed when tissue ulcerates.
6. Hardening of tissue
To keep toxins from spreading outside of the ulcerated areas, the body fills in the ulcers with scar tissue. This toxic material is now encased in a sack of hardened tissue. "The sack is what we refer to as a tumor..," says author Harvey Diamond. This is the last stage where the body still has control of its cells. If nothing is done at this point, cells begin to mutate.
What stage are you at?
Being aware of the physical symptoms that your body may be experiencing is an invaluable tool to assess your well-being. A decrease in energy, no matter how small, is a sign that all is not well with your health. While there are many ways to gauge your health picture, one of the most useful is the concept of biological age. Biological age is an accurate measure of your 'true' age. This age reflects the internal damage your body has undergone in its lifetime. The greater the difference between your biological age and your chronological age, the greater the chance that serious health problems may be developing, if you do not already have them. However, no matter at what stage you may be, there is an effective way to not only interrupt, but also reverse the progression of poor health.
Cleanse • Detoxify
Optimum health is based on sound nutrition, regular exercise, sufficient rest and the body's ability to cleanse and detoxify itself of toxins and waste. While all of these factors are important, cleansing and detoxification are vital. Cleansing is the process of gathering toxins and waste; detoxification is the process of removing this waste and toxic material from the body. Most toxins are filtered first by the liver, and then eliminated from the body through the bowels, kidneys, lungs, and skin. Insufficient detoxification in any one of these areas causes the liver to become overloaded, diminishing its ability to detoxify, and further impairing the elimination process. This greatly increases the chance of serious health problems, and is a direct cause of premature degeneration of the body.
The body performs the tasks of cleansing and detoxification daily. Often it is not able to keep up with the toxins, waste and free radicals that accumulate due to outside influences such as pollution, heavy metals, poor drinking water, and unhealthy dietary choices. This makes the process of cleansing and detoxification our responsibility, as the body cannot effectively do the job without help in the form of a detoxifier.

What to expect when
Cleansing and Detoxifying
At the beginning of any cleansing and detoxification process, there are a few symptoms that you may experience as toxins and waste are removed from the body. These include increased bowel movements, frequent urination, swollen glands, skin blemishes, flu-like symptoms (chills, fever, mucous discharge) or slight headaches. While these symptoms may be an inconvenience, they are positive signs that your body has begun to cleanse and detoxify. The temporary discomfort is worth the benefit of increased energy and improved health.
When to Cleanse and Detoxify
It is recommended that you complete a cleansing and detoxification program with Flor • Essence® every six months to maintain good health. However, if you are not in good health, are low in energy, have an increased biological age, or currently find that you fit into one of the stages of disease, it is important to remain on a cleansing and detoxification program until health has returned, energy levels have increased, biological age is reduced, and you no longer feel any physical symptoms associated with these stages.
