Cleanse Your Body
How to Cleanse

If cleansing is new to you, keep your first experience short and easy. Eat a cleansing diet for three to seven days to clean out your system by lightening your digestive system’s load. To do so, focus on eating foods that are easy to digest such as soups, fresh fruits and vegetables, and follow recipes like the simple, healthy ones featured on our Web site. Here are some more helpful cleansing guidelines:



Fill up on healthy spring fruits and vegetables, and those high in fiber and water. Avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes.

Go organic! This is no time to be eating pesticides with your food.

Avoid animal protein in favor of vegetarian protein like tofu, tempeh, or beans.

Avoid heavy carbohydrates like bread and pasta and consume more whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and millet.

Fill up on Omega 3 oils from flax seed, olive oil and and from fatty fish like salmon

Drink eight to 14 glasses a day of pure water, herb teas, nutritious smoothies and freshly squeezed juices.

Minimize dairy products and avoid cheese.

Eat slowly, as good digestion begins with the enzymes in your mouth.

Eliminate sugars, saturated fats, salt, additives, caffeine, alcohol, refined foods, and packaged or processed foods.

Boost your body’s cleansing ability with natural supplements. Our Holistic Health personnel will be happy to help you select the appropriate supplements for you.
