Master Cleanse for the 21st Century

By on August 8, 2009

To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals. Benjamin Franklin

Today is day 2 of my 3 day countdown to my Master Cleanse (see “Detox 2 Live, Diet, Detox, Fasting or Cleansing category). I refer to it as a cleanse for the 21st Century, not because I’m doing it in this century, but because I  don’t do the Master Cleanse by itself. When I try a cleanse for the first time, I do as written. After that, I may or may not tailor it, or spruce it up a bit. This cleanse was created and/or written in 1976… long before the majority of food was fast and processed, before fast food places and microwaves were a daily staple for many, and long before colored pills became part of a daily routine. I remember 1976 – the food was still somewhat real and growing our own garden did not pose a threat.

The original Master Cleanse works well, but… it can be better. If you are going to take 10 days of your life to give your body a much needed break, why not give it your all? I will be blogging about my 10 days… the good, the bad, and the ugly. Those of you ready to age less, feel free to join!

Got a favorite cleanse/detox? Would love to hear about it…
