The Bladder meridian peaks from 3 to 5 p.m., making it ideal for back-strengthening exercises like the Superman pose. Consistent daily habits of steady meals, real sleep and regular movement support the body’s built-in detoxification. Many people turn to sweating, fasting, or intensive cleanses when they want to “detox.”…
