One week menu plan for a gentle cleanse
Here are some suggestions for meals and snacks
First breakfast (7a.m.): Green juice. Recipe: 6 small leaves of kale, 2 leaves of collard greens, 1/2 cucumber, 2 stalks of celery, 1/2 inch of ginger, 1/2 green apple. Drink green tea and plenty of water throughout the day – a total of 8 glasses at least. One glass with 1/2 a lemon squeezed into it.
Second breakfast (10 a.m.): Protein and healthy fats of your choice. Eggs, goat cheese, avocado, smoked fish, and nuts are all great options. One bowl cooked whole grains – specifically millet, brown rice, amaranth, quinoa, and buckwheat.
Lunch :Green salad or a large serving of steamed vegetables, use a variety, including roots, stems and greens – potatoes, yams, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, beets, asparagus, kale, chard, and cabbage. Cabbage helps reduce body fat. Chew well. Use healthy oils, spices and herbs for flavor. Combine with a handful of nuts or seeds, an avocado, or a serving of smoked salmon, fish, quinoa, or lean, organic meat. Salmon is high in healthy oils which are crucial to a healthy immune system. Enjoy the benefits from eating tasty fish. I try to eat salmon every day. Fruit of your choice. One piece fresh fruit, such as, pear, banana, and citrus. Pineapple burns fat and tones the stomach.
Afternoon snack: Nuts, seeds, avocado mashed with herbs and spices, a small salad or green juice.
Dinner: (finish by 6p.m.) Same as lunch.

You can cleanse your body safely and effectively using benefits from a juicing program. Juicing is an excellent way to supplement desired nutrients. Begin drinking freshly squeezed vegetable and citrus juices on a regular basis. Each vegetable has a specific power to heal a particular organ. For instance, beets and dandelion help heal the liver. Be aware to use small amounts because it has a strong cleansing affects on the liver. Citrus fruits support the liver cleansing process as well. Most important is also to cleanse your mind from negative thoughts. Stay focus on the positive. Aspire to perform your daily tasks in the most positive way.
