Extra Pounds. When it comes to preventing chronic disease, weight maintenance is of primary concern. Excess weight is one of the primary effects of an unhealthy diet. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines overweight as having a body mass index, or BMI, of 25 or higher.
The definition of clean is not dirty, or sober, or off of drugs, or morally pure. 1  An example of clean is a room that has just been vacuumed and dusted.  An example of clean os someone who is in Alcoholics Anonymous and who has been sober for four months.
To clean is the general word with no implication of method or means: to clean windows, a kitchen, streets. Cleanse is especially used of thorough cleaning by chemical or other technical process; figuratively it applies to moral or spiritual purification: to cleanse parts of machinery; to cleanse one's soul of guilt.
