The moon diet: the best phase of the moon to detox and eliminate toxins

The moon influences all aspects of life, in relationships, in projects, in dreams, in health and, ultimately, in everything that moves in our body, mind and environment.

This happens because the moon has an effect on water and more than 70% of our body is made up of water. And as the moon moves through its monthly lunar cycle, changes occur within our bodies, in our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Surely you have noticed that you are more creative and that your thoughts and emotions intensify during the full moon, right?

you might even notice sleep disturbances during the most intense lunar phase, as suggested by research published in Current Biology.On the other hand, when the energy of the moon is waning, you feel calmer, slower and the body is in an ideal moment to let go. Is there an ideal time to start a cleansing diet or detoxify the body? So that’s it.

Although cleansing at any time of the lunar cycle will always have great benefits for our body, when we clean ourselves in harmony with the cycles of the moon the effort is less because less energy is required for the body to release what is left over and the elimination is greater and produces better results.

In addition, having carried out a more comfortable and lighter purification, we will have a good memory to want to repeat it again.
