The ten day detoxification plan
The last couple of weeks, I presented the 30-Day Challenge in this
column. From responses received, I want to believe it was well accepted.
However, a few persons complained about the duration, 30 days! There
are shorter plans and I am going to describe a 10-Day Detoxification
Plan today. To successfully carry out this detoxification and maintain a
change of diet that will follow requires determination and commitment
on your part; determination to start, continue and get the right
results.
The day before you actually start is your preparation day in which
you will have to begin to do away with those kinds of food you should
avoid, including drinks and beverages. Begin to drink a lot of water so
that the process of elimination of the toxic wastes can commence. Eat
light, especially in the evening at dinner, eat only salad vegetables.
On waking up the next day, start your day with a glass of water and one
of lemonade (squeeze one lemon into a glass and fill it up with water).
Your breakfast for this first day and the next nine days will be
fruits only. There are a variety of fruits you can choose from. Three or
four different fruits as a fruit salad will do. Make sure you eat
fruits that are in season. For optimal effect you should eat fruits all
day in the first one or two days for speedy elimination of fecal matter
and colon cleansing. Also, the alkalinity of the fruits will neutralize
the acidity of the acidic wastes that have accumulated before they are
eliminated by the kidneys. On these first two days eat only one kind of
fruit all day.
Decide the type of fruit you will like to eat and make sure you have
enough at home. Preferable fruits for these two days are water melon (a
mild diuretic), apples (contain pectin, a form of fiber for colon
cleansing), pineapple (contains bromelin, an enzyme that aids digestion
of proteins and speeds up repair of damaged tissue), grapes (they are
effective in cleansing the kidneys, liver and intestines) and paw paw (
papaya, they contain the enzyme papain which aids the digestion of
protein. It is also a good cleanser of the alimentary tract). Make your
choice.
The next five days will see you eating fruits for breakfast, fresh
raw vegetables for lunch and more vegetables, either stir fried, steamed
or juiced for dinner. Do not forget to start the day with your water
and lemonade. Prepare your salad and dress with either Udo’s oil or flax
seed oil; avoid the regular salad dressings. There are lots of
vegetables you can chose from and do make it different every day so as
to get the full benefits of the vitamin, mineral and enzyme contents of
all the vegetables.
Beginning from the last couple of days, you can introduce a meal of
cooked food like Ofada rice, boiled unripe plantain, the usual soups
with wheat or eba and so on and continue thereafter. In other words,
your diet after the period of detoxification will consist of fruits for
breakfast, vegetables for lunch and a cooked food for dinner. Your meals
at lunch and dinner can be interchanged as it suits you. During the
period of detoxification and thereafter, you should drink water often
and fresh fruit and vegetable juices for your snacks when you feel
hungry.
