Change starts with a choice. Choices lead to healthy habits. Healthy habits lead to total well-being.
I’m often asked in interviews what one habit anyone can start to create a daily practice to support health. I proudly share my not-so-secret part of my routine, it’s included on my S.O.U.P. Cleanse, and I tell everyone I know about it.
That would be my Detox Tonic.
I created my Detox Tonic out of a desire to simplify daily cleansing. Just one 12-16 oz. detox tonic offers many different benefits, and every ingredient, including the water, has an intention and a purpose. My detox tonic is an alkaline beverage that is mood-enhancing, skin clearing, digestion promoting, and immunity-boosting! My detox tonic contains:
4 ozs George’s Aloe Vera juice – Contains powerful antioxidant compounds that help balance metabolism and boost the immune system, can ease constipation and improve digestion, and is said to enhance insulin sensitivity and help improve blood sugar management. In addition, aloe vera juice contains a wealth of nutrients. vitamins A, B12, C, and E and minerals potassium, magnesium, and zinc.
