Renew Life - CleanseSMART

CleanseSMART is a 2 part, 30 day, advanced herbal cleansing program. It is formulated to stimulate the detoxification process of the body's 7 channels of elimination: the liver, lungs, colon, kidneys, blood, skin, and lymphatic system.  

In today's toxic world, cleansing and detoxification is a necessity. Toxins enter our body daily through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Over time, these toxins build up and slowly start to affect our health in a negative way.

Through cleansing and detoxification, you enable your body to better process this toxic load. Reducing the toxic load in your body decreases the risk of developing chronic health problems, improves overall health and immune response, and can increase energy levels.

CleanseSMART works to cleanse and detoxify the entire body, but with focus on the body's two main detoxification pathways - the liver and the colon. CleanseSMART is essential for helping eliminate constipation and improving bowel health.

CleanseSMART I - Morning Formula is an herbal organ detox formula. This formula works to stimulate and enhance cleansing and detoxification in 6 of the 7 channels of elimination, with emphasis on the liver.

CleanseSMART II - Evening Formula focuses on the colon and naturally promoting bowel movements. It contains no cascara sagrada or senna which can irritate and weaken the colon, as well as become addictive over time.

Instead, CleanseSMART uses magnesium hydroxide to bring water to the colon in order to soften hardened material. It also contains herbs that stimulate peristalsis (the muscular movement of the colon). The combination of hydration and stimulating peristalsis allow for natural, easy bowel movements without the use of harsh laxatives.

Why do we need to Cleanse?

In today's world we are exposed to an innumerable amount of toxins, they're in our food, air, water, in the workplace and even at home. Proper elimination of these toxins is critical to maintaining optimal health and well being. The human body does an incredible job of eliminating harmful wastes, however over time toxins can accumulate, leading to an overwhelmed digestive system. When the digestive system becomes unable to efficiently eliminate toxins we become overloaded with toxins and this may set the stage for future disease and illness.

The CleanseSMART Kit is designed to work on its own, however including the following lifestyle and dietary suggestions will improve the success of the program and your health!

To assist your body's natural cleansing abilities, try:

  • Reducing stress where possible through deep breathing techniques or meditation.
  • Exercise, even if its only a 30 minute walk.
  • Try to maintain a regular sleeping pattern getting 7-8 hours of sleep daily.
  • Eat fresh fruits and vegetables daily, organic if possible.
  • Get adequate protein from fish, free range chicken or turkey are good choices.
  • Choose healthy whole grains: millet, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa, spelt, brown rice.
  • Take essential fatty acids from fish, flax, salmon or borage oils.
  • Take a high quality fiber supplement such as FiberSmart from Renew Life.

Why Take Fiber?

Medical research has conclusively shown the benefits of high fiber diets. Fiber is the indigestible parts of fruits, seeds, vegetables, whole grains and other edible plants. Fiber is generally classified as either soluble or insoluble.

Soluble fiber is that which easily dissolves in water. Fruit pectin is an example of soluble fiber. Soluble fibers lead to the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which support the nourishment of the cells of the large intestine and promote digestive. SCFAs also help maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.

Insoluble fiber is not easily dissolved in water. Wheat bran is an insoluble fiber. Insoluble fibers contain roughage which helps tone the bowel.* Research has also shown that insoluble fiber may play a role in reducing intestinal permeability.

Benefits of a high fiber diet may include:

  • Helps maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range
  • Supports healthy blood sugar levels when used as part of the diet
  • Improve bowel function
  • Feed intestinal bacteria
  • Decrease intestinal permeability
  • Assist the body in the elimination of toxins

Intestinal Health:The intestine is the main absorptive area of the digestive tract.  It is essentially a tube with a thin mucosal lining and lots of blood vessels on the inside and muscles around the outside.  It has its own immune tissue called GALT, or gut associated lymphoid tissue.  The inner lining is filled with little fingers, or projection of the mucosa, which greatly increases its absorptive surface.

Lying on the membrane are many friendly organisms, which help our body with the digestive process.  The small intestine attaches to the stomach.  Near it’s beginning, ducts from the liver and pancreas release digestive juices.  These juices mix with the partially digested food from the stomach and continue the digestive process. Nutrients are absorbed through the thin intestinal wall and transported via the bloodstream, to where they are needed.  The liver also excretes processed toxins and fats through the bile.  These substances must be carried through the intestine without being absorbed.

The remainder of the food is pushed through into the large intestine.  The main function of the large intestine is the preparation of stool for excretion.  In order to do this the digested food must be dehydrated and compacted.  The last bit of nutrients may also be absorbed here.

Some of the most important players in intestinal health are not part of our own body.  Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called Probiotics, are an essential part of digestion.  They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes.  Each bowel movement actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a constant state of renewal.  Many concerns like indigestion, gas, bloating and constipation can be due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria.  It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or taking medications like antibiotics.
