Cleansing and Nourishing the Female Body

Cleansing and Nourishing the Female Body

~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~

It’s difficult to become empowered if we are not physically strong. If we’re bogged down with toxins, excess weight and the resulting ill health, (then?) depression and diminishment is much more likely than empowerment. 

At the same time, with the increasingly polluted and stressful environment, there are more challenges to our physical health than ever before.

Women deal with stress and pollutants differently than men. For example, our hormones and cycles are much more complex, and greatly impacted by the plastic products releasing estrogenic chemicals. More women than men suffer from calcium deficiency resulting in bone loss. Environmental illness is significantly more common among women. Losing weight is more difficult for women than men, and so on.

As women, how can we strengthen, support and nourish our bodies? What can we do to compensate for the ever present environmental pollutants in our air, water and food? Once we are bogged down with toxic load, are we stuck with it, or is there a way to reverse the condition? What are the signs of toxicity in women? What health challenges are related to toxicity?
