Why should I restart?
Sometimes it takes a drastic act to create change. Your body is used to doing things a certain way. And, for most of us, that way is not very healthy. So it helps to clean out the trash and start all over again.
The benefits are numerous. You feel better in general. You sleep better. Your bowels get regular. Most people loose at least a few pounds.
And you feel good knowing that you have taken control of your health and are doing something to make your life better.
