Cleanse Your Body
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.
