Because of this, we need to make the effort to seek out and consume these cultured foods, which help repopulate our intestinal tracts!

BEAUTY BENEFITS OF PROBIOTIC & ENZYME SALAD:

Frees up Beauty Energy.
Raw, cultured veggies are teaming with potent friendly bacteria and enzymes. Probiotic & Enzyme Salad helps digest other foods that are eaten with it, freeing up Beauty Energy. This is very important to note for our weight loss goals! If we eat Probiotic & Enzyme Salad alongside both starches and proteins, including miscombined Beauty Food Pairings, it helps everything digest much better.

Increases our Beauty Enzyme reserve.
The friendly bacteria are packed with enzymes, so they help maintain our body's enzyme reserves. The more enzymes we have, the more our bodies have energy to rebuild our skin, our hair, and help us lose excess weight.

Helps eliminate toxins and speeds cleansing.
The raw, cultured vegetables in our Probiotic & Enzyme Salad are such powerful detoxifiers that when we consume them, they immediately start rebalancing our intestine. They attack toxic sludge and loosen hard and encrusted fecal matter. Okay, while the image is grotesque, that is great news! During this process, we might experience more gas and bloating as we detox and the sludge becomes unlodged. This is only a temporary stage and will pass. To ease the discomfort of excessive gas, a colonic or enema might be very helpful.

Restores the balance of friendly bacteria in the body.
The natural probiotics help replenish the good flora in our digestive tract.

Helps control sugar cravings and reduces appetite.
Probiotic & Enzyme Salad helps us feel full and reduces our cravings for sweets. This is extremely helpful as we work to cut soda, ice cream, cookies, bread, pasta, dairy, doughnuts, and otherrefined sugars and carbohydrates out of our diet.

As our inner balance of good bacteria is restored in the body, we're better able to shed excess weight and our skin improves. Our energy will become more vibrant. Because these functions are so important, we must consume Probiotic & Enzyme Salad regularly in addition to taking a probiotic supplement and digestive enzymes. You may wonder,
Why can't we just pop the pills and that's enough?
For the best results, we must
also
consume food sources for maximum absorption and assimilation, that is, to bring larger quantities of beneficial nutrients into our bodies.

While we can buy raw, cultured veggies in health food stores (look for jars of raw sauerkraut in the refrigerated sectionâbut avoid the brands that contain excessive salt), they are very easy and inexpensive to prepare in large batches at home, to ensure you can enjoy them regularly. All it takes is a little bit of time to chop and store! Trust me when I say it is really easy. And it is completely worth it for the benefits that come with regularly consuming these veggies. As we shift our diet and want to greatly improve how we look and how we feel, regularly eating Probiotic & Enzyme Salad is extremely important. Consuming one half to one cup with dinner at least five nights a week would be ideal. Check out the recipe for Probiotic & Enzyme Salad in Chapter 11. With some planning, we should have these foods available to us in our own refrigerators for the cost of a few cents a day.

BEAUTY DETOX SECRET #4: MAGNESIUM-OXYGEN SUPPLEMENT

This powerful cleanser combines magnesium oxide compounds that have been ozonated and stabilized to release monatomic, or nascent, oxygen over twelve hours or more throughout the entire digestive system. The magnesium acts as a vehicle to transport the oxygen throughout the body and has the gentle effect of loosening toxins and acidic waste and transporting them out of the body.

Oxygen also supports the growth of friendly bacteria, which is essential for proper digestive and intestinal health. Magnesium-oxygen supplements are safe for regular use and provide daily ongoing detoxification. Be sure to follow the directions on the label, and simply reduce the dosage or take the supplement less frequently if you experience any adverse reactions.

Here are some of a magnesium-oxygen supplement's specific benefits:

Increases oxygenation in the body which has a remarkable cleansing effect without being an irritant

Breaks down, detoxifies and eliminates impacted toxic waste material that has accumulated in the digestive tract

May help to balance pH in the body as it works to clean out old, acidic waste

Enhances the body's cleansing functions, which can assist with acne and other imbalances

Decreases bloating, gassiness and constipation
