Day Two - On a Roll

Historically, 'Day Two' has brought a few  problematic symptoms.  For me, by this time I am experiencing a mild headache and frequent urination.  Both are signs that my body is clearing out toxins.  Many people will notice within the first week feeling lighter, less 'puffy', due to the decreased inflammation.  Inflammation (a buildup of fluid in the tissues) is a direct result of the accumulation of toxins and wastes; the bodies mechanism for self-defense.   Plus, a diet heavy in sodium (salt) will always mean a large reserve of water.  Sodium and Water (H2O) go hand in hand.  Decrease the sodium and you decrease the H2O.  This is the reason why people with cardiac conditions are told to decrease their intake of sodium - in order to decrease the amount of water (translated as blood volume) their body has to circulate.

In addition, I have always been surprised by the experience of having increased energy while also being 'fuzzy'.  Having more energy to accomplish the simple tasks of daily life but also feeling a bit spaced out.  It is an interesting phenomenon.

As in the past, I am off to a good start and am experiencing just a slight amount of 'fuzziness'   I know this will pass after another day or so and predict tomorrow may see the headache.  My sleep has already started to become more restful.  Today, I picked up some wonderful food from the local grocery store including:  Avocados, Romaine Lettuce (for wraps), Raw Cheese, Raw Almonds, Vegetable Juice, Lemon Juice (for my water), Herbal Tea, Salmon (for Sunday), Fuji Apples, and some sushi.  I know, the list could be seriously critiqued.  However, its only a start.  The goal here is to make some significant and sustainable changes.  It's not about denying yourself of food but rather opening up your palate to the rich variety of healthy and fresh foods that are available.

Have a wonderful day and feel free to reply!
