My Detox Plan

There are lots of options for detox plans depending on the purpose (clear skin, weight loss, take the load off the organs that detoxify your body: kidney, liver,…).

For me my goal is mainly to improve digestion and have that sparkling skin glow. So my detox plan is pretty simplified and the duration is about 7 days.

Food to eat:

1. Fruits: all fresh fruits, and my favorites are: kiwi, blackberries, blueberries, grapes, raspberries, pichuberries,…

2. Vegetables: all fresh vegetables: spinach, cucumber, baby tomatoes,…but my all time favorite is Kale (king of veggie kingdom, highest amount of antioxidants)

3. Nuts: cashews, almonds, walnuts,..

4. Seeds: pumpkin or sunflower seeds

5. Virgin olive oil

6. If you can’t resist temptation for meat, you can have lean meat like chicken without skin, limited to 2 servings in a week.

7. Green tea, white tea, (decaffeinated)

8. Drink lots of water

My detox routine:

1. Morning drink: lots of people choose lemon juice to cleanse the system and kick off digestion. Squeeze half a lemon in a cup of hot water. Drink this first thing in the morning. But for me this is too difficult to drink! I choose to drink kale/green apple juice, much tastier!!!

2. Exercise

3. 15 min meditation or quiet reading

4. Drink 3 liters fluids daily

5. Chew your salad/food slowly, 10-12 times before swallowing

It’s not easy to start a detox routine. By making the veggies/fruits prettier, it sure helps and improves the appetite!
