The process of detoxification helps the body rid itself of toxins while also accelerating weight loss and improving general health. Toxins are expelled from your body through a convoluted process that includes the kidneys, liver, digestive tract, lungs, and skin. Check out our 3-day detox diet; it will help you lose weight as well.
UPON RISING – Ginger Lemon Detox Drink
Ginger is a great
detoxifier that helps you to kick-start your metabolism. Along with
hydrating your body, this potent drink will help you to stimulate bowel
movements. Drink one big glass, but if you feel like more, go for it—
hydration is essential.
- 1or 2-ounce water, at room temperature
- Two squeezed lemons
- Hald inch knob of ginger root
First,
add the lemon juice to the glass of water. Finely grind the ginger on a
chopping board, next squeeze the ginger pieces into your hand, allowing
the juice of the ginger drip through your fingers and into the glass of
water.
BREAKFAST
Super Detox Green Juice
This
green detox juice includes a powerful combination of easily digestible
alkaline minerals, such as potassium. Alkalizing your blood is essential
during the cleansing process because it keeps harmful yeast bacteria,
and fungi in check, which helps prevent cravings at bay. Drink one big glass, but feel free to have another one.
- 2 or 3 celery stalks, and remove the leaves
- Two kale leaves
- One small cucumber
- One small lemon or lime, peeled
- Single pear or apple
- A handful of fresh parsley
Mix all of the ingredients and drink slowly. For an extra health kick, stir in spirulina powder, wheatgrass, and barley grass.
LUNCH
Sushi Salad
The 3-day body detox includes Sushi salad, which is a potent mix of sea
vegetables and sprouts, including nori. It is one of the most
nutrient-dense plant vegetables on the planet. Sushi is particularly
high in calcium and iodine, which helps to draw toxins from the body.
For the Dressing
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root
For the Salad
- 2 small cucumbers, halved and chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 ripe avocado, chopped
- A handful of fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- A handful of sprouts (preferably alfalfa, watercress, or sunflower sprouts)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 nori sheet, cut with scissors in bite-size strips
To make the sushi body detox
salad, mix the cucumbers, avocado, sprouts, carrot, cilantro, and
strips of nori in a pot and put in with the salad dressing. Pour the
seeds over the top as decoration.
