HBA HONEST BEAUTY BREAKOUT BRAND OF THE MONTH

September Breakout Brand of the Month:

www.hbaglobalexpo.com

My biggest vice, aside from excessive shopping, is excessive junk food eating. As I am sure many of you can relate, if a group existed for Junk-Food Addicts, I’d be the first to sign up. My addiction to all things sweet, salty and bad for you is my main motivation for cleansing. If I did not take the time to revitalize my insides and cleanse, I would most likely still be harboring candy, gum, and pasta from well prior to my fifth grade pre-adolescence.

I have tried a slew of cleanses in my lifetime, but only one has proven effective enough to be deemed Honest Beauty’s September Breakout Brand of the Month – and it is called The Clean Program.

What I love about The Clean Program is that it’s designed for the person on the go. Just because you are cleansing, you should not have to put your life on hold. Being able to fully function, and have the energy to do so, is one of the unique attributes I enjoy about The Clean Program.

The Clean Program is a 21-day detox system specifically designed for the active person. The regimen entails a set of supplements that coincide with one solid and two liquid meals. Typically, you should plan to have the liquid meals for breakfast and dinner, allowing for a twelve hour “fast” to occur overnight, freeing up the most energy and time for detoxification while you sleep.

The Clean Program was developed by Dr. Alejandro Junger, who moved to New York for post graduate training after attending medical school in Uruguay. The lifestyle shift, particularly in terms of diet, which Dr. Junger experienced after his move to NYC, left him depressed, out of shape, and suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. Dr. Junger’s health quickly resembled that of the cardiovascular disease patients he treated, and he decided it was time for a change.

Searching for an alternative solution to his health problems, Dr. Junger authored Clean – a manual on how to turn our detoxification systems up to full speed, while supporting the maximum effectiveness of our bodies. The Clean Program is based upon this manual.

While I myself am still in the beginning stages of the 21-day Clean Program, models and celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as an entire social community found here – http://my.cleanprogram.com/ – can attest to The Clean Program’s results.

Have an Honestly Beautiful Day,
