A simple detoxification diet

A basic detoxification diet need not be difficult to achieve. Here are some simple guidelines for a diet to promote detox.

I provide some guidelines for foods to increase or decrease to help elimination of toxins ... which is what the detox process is for.

I've used this diet myself. I went to see a nutritionist when my energy had been low for some time ... and homeopathicremedies weren't helping. This diet helped me to regain energy and vitality - all without the need for any extra supplements.

Increase fruit in diet especially apricots, berries, melon, citrus fruits, kiwi, papaya, peaches mango, red grapes.Limit bananas - no more than one per day. No dried fruit.

Increase vegetables in diet, especially peppers, beetroot, broccoli, red cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber,kale, spinach, sweet potato, tomato, watercress seeds, sprouted chickpeas, lentils and aduki beans.

Increase lentils, soya beans, nuts, seeds, fish, organic chicken, turkey and free range eggs.

Get everything as fresh as possible

Use organic produce wherever possible (to limit intake of chemical residues); eat unrefined and unprocessed foods and whole grains.

I liked the nutritionists advice: "Be able to look at your plate and know where the foods came from ... as nature intended!" So no processed or pre-prepared food.

Drink lots of water - at least two litres per day. Increase diluted juices and herbal teas.

Avoid Red meat, animal fat, sugar, sweeteners (aspartame), salt and monosodium glutamate (MSG);stimulants (caffeine, coke, tea, coffee); asparagus and avocado; dairy; coconut and grains that containgluten.
