Natural
and Free (almost) Cleansing Diet
By eating
certain foods, you can create a natural cleansing diet. Cleansing your body has
many benefits including better health, more energy, possible weight loss, better
sleep at night, happier moods, and a clearer mind, which is a less stressed
mind.
Eating
junk and processed foods, and too much food inhibits digestion. Digestion
affects metabolism – if your digestion is poor, so is your metabolism. This
creates an environment in which waste can build up. By eating a naturally
cleansing diet, you keep your body’s processes strong and create an environment
that will digest food, assimilate nutrients and efficiently eliminate
waste.
Start your
morning with a slightly warm glass of water with fresh lemon or lime squeezed
into it. If you can create the time, sit for about 5 minutes. This fresh lemon
juice helps to stimulate your lymphatic system because it is anti-septic, can
stimulate the liver, and dissolve uric acid. Also, when added to warm water, it
can stimulate the bowels.
For
breakfast, have 2 pieces of fresh, organic fruit. Fruit is a natural detoxifier
and full of fresh vitamin water that we call juice. Many fruits are high in
vitamin C, one of the most powerful antioxidants.
If you
prefer protein in the morning, wait about 10 minutes after your fruit and have
one or two high-Omega 3 eggs (organic if possible). Protein helps to strengthen
your liver for detoxification and fat burning. The Omega 3 is an essential fatty
acid that when taken regularly, assists the body’s detoxification process, helps
brain function and assists in weight loss. Add tomatoes and a small amount of
spinach to turn your meal in to a cleansing, fat burning
breakfast.
Keep your
diet naturally cleansing by having fresh, green salad with a light, non-dairy
dressing for lunch. Your digestive enzymes are at their highest now, so by
eating a salad you will stimulate it even more. By eating this salad every day,
your body will create the strong enzymes every day resulting in stronger
digestion. By keeping your digestion strong, your body will naturally cleanse
waste as it continues to break down old buildup after food is
digested.
Turn your
lunch into a fat burning, cleansing lunch by adding a low-fat protein source
such as lean chicken, turkey, fish, or beef. For vegetarians, add sprouts, beans
or nuts. Be sure the portion is no more than the size of your palm to ensure
your body is able to digest it all.
Keep your
energy up with a cleansing snack later in the afternoon. Now is a good time to
have yogurt (no sugar). Be sure to check the label for the good bacteria – it
may be labeled as live active cultures. These good bacteria strengthen digestion
and strengthen the immune system.
For
dinner, have steamed veggies with a small portion of lean protein. By eating
light your body will be able to digest all the food easily. This leaves room for
your natural cleansing processes to keep working through the evening while not
leaving undigested food from overeating.
