Having known the benefit of seasonal detoxification, it is then important for us to know how to do it. The best way to begin a spring cleanse, and to optimize results, is to incorporate cleansing and alkalizing foods, nutrients, botanicals, and mind body healing practices into a gentle program. Whether the cleanse lasts for three days, three weeks, or longer, these tips can help align us with the seasonal transitions. They also allow healing and transformation to spring forth naturally.

                According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy, every season correlates to different “elements” or organ systems in the body. For example, winter correlates with the water element and the kidneys/bladder system. From a Western naturopathic perspective, cold weather can put stress on your adrenal and thyroid glands. As the results, the blood becomes more acidic and there is a buildup of lactic acid. This can lead to sluggishness, muscle and joint pain, and arthritis.

                Both Eastern and Western naturopathic medical systems agree that the transition from winter to spring offers an ideal opportunity to shed extra weight. It is also a good time to gently cleanse accumulated toxins from the body. This excess buildup can be the result of numerous factors. The main causes include unhealthy diet, poor digestion, lack of exercise, winter dehydration, normal metabolic processes, and environmental pollution.

                In TCM, spring corresponds to the liver and the gall bladder. A gentle spring cleanse effectively supports the liver’s vital detoxification processes. It also eliminates toxins stored in organs and tissues, helps shed excess weight, alkalizes the body, and gets your circulation and energy moving. Digestion is improved and inflammation is reduced. Moreover, blood sugar is balanced and immune functions better.

                A cleansing diet is the most critical component of any detoxification program. Animal protein, particularly red meat, should be minimized during a cleanse. It emphasizes on lighter, organic plant-based proteins that are easier for the body to digest. Below are the critical components of a detox diet which can help improve digestion and enhance detoxification, resulting in greater energy and vitality.

                The integration of technology and media can enhance early childhood practice. Successful integration of technology and media into early childhood programs involves the use of resources such as computers and the Internet in daily classroom practices. True integration occurs when the use of technology and media becomes routine and transparent-when the focus of a child or educator is on the activity or exploration itself and not on the technology or media being used. Technology integration has been successful when the use of technology and media supports the goals of educators and programs for children provides children with digital tools for learning and communicating and helps improve child outcomes.

                As the lives of children, parents, families, and educators are infused with technology and media, early childhood classrooms can benefit from the possibilities of extending children’s learning through judicious use of these tools. As part of the overall classroom plan, technology and interactive media should be used in ways that support existing classroom developmental and educational  goals rather than in ways that distort or replace them. For example, drawing on a touch screen can add to children’s graphic representational experiences: manipulating colorful acetate shapes on a light table allows children to explore color and shape.

                By focusing on technology and interactive media as tools-not as ends in and of themselves-teachers can avoid the passive and potentially harmful use of non-interactive, linear screen media that is inappropriate in early childhood settings. Intentionality is a key to developmentally appropriate use.

                Exciting new resources in today’s technology-rich world represent the next frontier in digital learning for our youngest citizens, leaving it to talented educators and caring adults to determine how best to leverage each new technology as an opportunity for children’s learning in ways that are developmentally appropriate.
