2020 Autumn Detox. Nature's Perfect Setup. pt. 2
The world is a toxic place. 2020 confronted us all with this statement in vivid, living color. While there may not be anything we, personally, can do with viruses, colds and, the flu there is a lot we can do now and year-round to strengthen our immune system.
A gentle detox in the Autumn is perfect to cleanse your body of the toxins built up in the hot summer months and prep your immune system for the winter, typically thought of as flu season. In this “The Impetus” I am going to share with you tips and products to naturally detox, while the temperature cools, and we spend more time indoors.
GroundYourself
Kenko Ground
As the temperature cools, the days shorten, new shows premiere and the sports season heats up we naturally spend more time indoors losing our connection to Mother Nature. The KenkoGround serves as an indoor and portable way to reconnect with Mother Nature. Simply plug it into a grounded outlet and use it under your feet while working, on your mattress while you sleep, or even draped around your shoulders. Direct contact with the skin is recommended for the best results.
“Our contemporary lifestyles often cause fatigue, sleeplessness, and a general feeling of being out of balance.”
The simple act of using the KenkoGround can help relieve these symptoms, reconnect our bodies to nature, and detox the high electromagnetic fields (EMFs) we are constantly exposed to in our digital world.
BlueBlocker
While research on blue light blocking glasses is very new and inconclusive I find that they help me greatly reduce eye fatigue. I picked mine up on Amazon for around $50. At that price, they are worth a shot.
DigialDetox
I subscribe to what I call, "Slow Sunday." A simple day of rest and "digital detoxing." I try to go as analog as possible on Sundays, I stay off of the devices, email, social media... this gives my body and my brain a chance to reset and recharge. This is a great day for some extra skin and hair self-care. I will cover clean skin and hair care in part 3 of this series.

Kenzen Ten4 30 pack
I like to wake up my body and mind the healthy way. Kenzen Ten4 is made with USDA certified organic ingredients, contains no sugar, and is only 8 calories per serving. Matcha green tea is known as “nature’s own energy drink” while New Zealand kiwi is the most nutrient-dense of the superfruits. The matcha tea in Kenzen Ten4 is “ceremonial grade” or a higher grade of matcha harvested during the first harvest. Nikken uses sustainably harvested matcha and an elderly workforce looking for extra income. Whether it’s 10 am or 4 pm, I always experience hours of energy. Also great for the metabolism.
An all-natural energy drink mix made with only 4 organic ingredients: Matcha green tea, Brown rice solids, Kiwi fruit, and Stevia leaf extract.
Helps burn calories, boost metabolism, and support mental alertness.
Contains 80 mg of natural caffeine from matcha green tea—provides an energy boost without jitteriness.
No artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners. No added sugar.
• Non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan.
• Naturally rich in antioxidants from Matcha green tea and New Zealand kiwi.New Zealand kiwi is high in vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, minerals, and fiber, and contains Actazin, a phytonutrient enzyme that promotes healthy gut bacteria for maintaining good digestion and overall health.
Only 8 sugar-free calories.
The V Word
Kenzen Total Vegan Drink Mix
This year Nikken introduced Kenzen Total Vegan Drink Mix (KTVDM) and it ranks a perfect 10 on the balanced nutrition scale. Each serving of KTVDM contains 3 servings of the daily recommendation for vegetables and 1 serving of the daily recommendation for fruit. Eating vegetables provides many health benefits. People who eat more vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Vegetables provide nutrients vital for the health and maintenance of your body. Most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories and are important sources of potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C. Fruit are important sources of many nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid), and phytochemicals for added health benefits. Modern research is just beginning to understand the importance of proper nutrition to our immune system, mental health, fitness, and overall feeling of well-being. But there is no doubt this connection is real. KTVDM helps to fill in our nutritional gaps at only 20 calories per serving, less than $2 a day per serving, with a great chocolaty taste. Here are some of the other benefits of KTVDM.
• Probiotic blend with 3.5 billion CFUs
• Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, Dairy-free
• No added sugar or salt
• No preservatives or artificial flavors
• Vitamin C from Organic acerola berry extract
• Marine nutrients from Organic spirulina
• Antioxidant properties
• Anti-inflammatory properties
• Help lower the risk of chronic diseases
• Trace minerals help improve pH balance
I like to mix mine in organic coconut milk. KTVDM is a perfect on-the-go solution for busy families or seniors with a lack of appetite.
