Beside improving circulation and raising oxygen levels, exercise causes your brain to release dopamine which gives you a sense of well-being and promotes restorative sleep. This counters the stress which lowers dopamine levels in the body leading to an unhealthy outlook and poor sleep. 2) Breathing Mindfully – Slow, regular, and full-intake breathing (which fills the stomach) optimizes oxygen levels in your body, relieves stress, and boosts concentration levels. This type of breathing is practiced by meditation practitioners. Most people practice shallow chest breathing, which is an improper and detrimental breathing technique. In Western society, big chests and small waists are glorified, leading to this unhealthy breathing practice. By fully utilizing the diaphragm and expanding the belly on inhales and contracting on exhales, the body will enjoy increased benefits. 3) Eating Properly – A balanced diet with sufficient essential fatty acids which help build brain cells, amino acids which are required for neurotransmitter production, and carbohydrates which provide glucose (“the brain’s fuel”) is critical for optimal brain function.

!! Without exercise, because I have been tired (I was tired a lot before the cleanse and I had blood drawn, so it’s hard to tell what to contribute the weakness to), I have lost an additional 2.6 lbs!

Omg, people must sense I cannot eat, because I have been asked out to eat a couple of times and it was SO hard to say no!! People have been giving me candy and all sorts of things- I did chew some food and spat it out today, as other youtubers have done under the cleanse, but I don’t think I’ll do it again. Having that food in your mouth and not being able to swallow is maddening. So, I didn’t drink all of my lemonade today. Not even half. I took a nap instead to avoid the hunger. The cayenne pepper is starting to rub my throat raw I believe, need to start drinking more regular water and I’ll lessen the amount of the cayenne once again. If you are starting this diet, I will recommend the LIQUID CAYENNE PEPPER, something I have not tried but is less strong as they say. Still going number 2 with just the herbal tea, though it is beginning to lack consistancy. And oh boy, people weren’t lieing when they said to make sure not to fart, haha. I’ve been going regularly throughout the day …
