Detox or Cleansing Diet Food ListIn addition to choosing from the food list, be sure to:
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day, preferably at room temperature. - Consider diluting fruit juices with water. - Take the time to enjoy meals, being sure to relax and chew your food thoroughly. Fresh Fruit Indulge in fresh fruit! You may wish to limit grapefruit somewhat, as it contains the compound *naringin*, which can inhibit some of the detox enzymes produced by the liver. Fresh Vegetables Most vegetables, with the exception of corn, are excellent choices. Vegetables with deep coloring are rich in antioxidants. Choose from vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, onions, garlic, carrots, artichokes, and beets. Rice Rice tends to be easy on the digestive system. Options include brown or basmati rice, and products made from rice, such as rice cakes, crackers and pasta. Grains In addition to rice, consider millet, amaranth, quinoa, and buckwheat. Wheat is generally not recommended. *Legumes* Choices include peas, lentils, chickpeas (garbonzo beans), kidney beans, pinto beans, and mung beans. Peanuts tend not to be recommended, as they are commonly allergenic. Fish Enjoy poached, steamed, and broiled fish in moderation. Nuts and Seeds Feel free to sprinkle unsalted nuts or seeds over your meal or to use nut butters. Choices include pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, pecans, almonds, and cashews. Oil Extra-virgin olive oil is an excellent choice for most people. Condiments Condiment choices include sea salt, vegetable salt, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and fresh or dried herbs and spices. Beverages Water is always an excellent choice. Consider herbal teas or green tea. Try to avoid teas containing caffeine. Lemon water, 100% fruit or vegetable juices (may be diluted), or rice milk are additional options. -- ~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~--- Connect your World with Us join Now - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dimpill_gang/join Affiliated group from dimpill_gang for Only Adult Mails - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fantazies/join Affiliated group from dimpill_gang for Only Health and Food Mails - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Health_and_Gourmet/join -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~
