Lemon & Cayenne Cleanse

I touched on acid and alkaline and cleansing the other day. People are asking me what the deal is with lemon and cayenne pepper. Simply put, we need our liver and digestive system in the best possible state to filter out toxins and somewhat poisonous dietary substances that we consume. Given one of the liver’s prime role is to metabolise fat, giving it a cleanse every morning is giving it some love and standing you in good stead to optimise hormones, and of course increase testosterone. Not only does lemon detox the liver but it has an alkalising effect too. Here’s how the lemon and cayenne cleanse works:

This practice stimulates the liver, the body’s primary detoxing organ, and kick-starts the digestive system. Your liver releases uric acid and creates bile to safely eliminate toxins. Keeping your liver and digestive system clean and in tip-top shape helps prevent chronic disease.

Lemon juice and cayenne pepper both have anti-fungal, immune boosting, and detoxifying properties:

• Lemon is a natural detoxifier as vitamin C transforms toxins into digestible material. In addition to vitamin C, lemons are also packed with antioxidants and electrolytes including potassium, calcium and magnesium. Lemon is also known to stimulate the liver’s natural enzymes by helping to oxygenate the body.
• Cayenne pepper stimulates the circulatory system by opening the capillaries, aids digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar. Furthermore, and very importantly, it increases the temperature of your body and kick-starts your metabolism, which, yes, can help you to lose weight over time. Be sure to always buy non-irradiated cayenne pepper (and all spices) since irradiation negates the health benefits of spices.

To boot, lemons, though acidic, and cayenne pepper, though super-spicy, actually help neutralize the body’s pH by making it more alkaline. pH imbalance has been attributed to numerous disorders as well as chronic illness.
