April & May 2008

"There was that law of life, so cruel and so just, which demanded that one must grow or else pay more for remaining the same" ~ Norman Mailer

The change of seasons is always a great time to re-evaluate things and access the happenings of the season that’s past and determine what’s to come in the month’s ahead.   Each season brings with it it’s own particular climate and with it, it’s own natural wonder.  Spring is the most glorious time of the year and is symbolic of renewal.  As things withered in the Fall, laid dormant in the Winter, it now emerges anew with the climate of Spring.  There is no better time of the year to evaluate where you have been and decide what you would like to create in the month’s ahead.

Clearing the clutter from Winter from both our outer and inner lives is a challenging task but also a rewarding one.  And this is true for my internal life as well as the external.

Detoxification has long been recommended as a tool for promoting vibrancy, energy, longevity and mental clarity.  It is a great way to lighten the burden on your digestive system so that more energy is allowed to move to your vital organs for restoration and regeneration.   I am a fan of detoxification and often recommend it to my clients to help jump start a healthy lifestyle plan.  The clients that do it, love it and report the most extraordinary results, from improved sleep patterns, greater focus, more energy and a little extra weight loss, which they all love.

In this month’s Healthy Lifestyle News, my monthly health & nutrition based newsletter, you’ll be able to determine if you would benefit from a cleanse and then provide some practical tools to help you cleanse and detox your body.  If you want a more intense, thorough cleanse, read through the section on my three-week detoxification protocol.  It is a great way to clear out the toxins while still eating and feeling satisfied.

Also, don’t forget to tune in to Healthy Lifestyles with Barbara Mendez™ on Tribecaradio.net, and to checkout my new blog Barbara’s Healthy Lifestyle Blog! to get even more heath tips, suggestions and inspiration!

I hope this Spring delivers to you all that you envision for your future~

Sincerely, In Health, Barbara
