When cleansing it is important to make sure your body receives enough nutrients just so that the brain and organs can function at their best. Your goal is to bring those nutrients in with as few toxins as physically possible.

You probably already know that you shouldn’t use caffeine, sugar, dairy, meat or any processed foods while you are on a cleanse. You also want to stay away from processed wheat and other grains, that can also be allergen forming and hard on your system.

You might feel as though there is nothing left to eat, but there are plenty of delicious and nutritious foods left. While you are cleansing, your biggest ally is green juice. Green juice is made up leafy greens or wheat grass, foods that contain lots of phytonutrients, antioxidants and vitamins. Green juice is best when it is made fresh in your home juicer.

You can drink as much of this as you like when you are on a cleanse. Also, make sure you are also drinking plenty of water. If anything is more important than delicious, fresh, organic green juice, it is water.

Fruits, although they should be limited because they are very sugary, are excellent suppliers of energy and nutrients. Not all fruits are the same, however. Melon of all kinds, tomato, lemon, lime, apple, orange, blueberry and avocado, are all fruits.

Apples are a good fruit – moderate in sugar. We also like papaya because of its inherent digestive enyzme – Papain – and because it improves bowel function.

Avocados have virtually no sugars, and they are absolutely delicious raw and sliced for breakfast in the morning. Lemon and lime are not counted among sugary fruits and are excellent for detox and vitamin C.

Organic blueberries are antioxidant-rich and supply a number of important nutrients and a little, natural, sugar. Fruits are great breakfast and lunch items, but moderation, is key.

Vegetables should make up the remainder of your diet during the detox phase. Leafy greens, live sprouts, carrots, beets, and asparagus are essential.

Always choose dark green and very colorful, organic vegetables to eat. Lettuces, like red leaf, green leaf, romaine, spinach, arugula and kale are going to supply a ton of nutrition and fiber. They are excellent sources of iron and will help cleanse your blood. Live sprouts have vitamins, mineral, protein and enzymes.

They have a very cleansing effect, help your body work against toxins and resist cell mutation (Cancer.) Carrots and beets are root vegetables that are hardy, filling and full of essentials like iron, vitamin A, and beta-carotene. Asparagus, a grass, has potassium, thiamin and vitamin B6.

This is only a partial list with examples fruits and vegetables to eat and juice while you are cleansing. These foods are highly nutritious and will fortify your body’s immune system, cleanse your organs and fuel detoxification, but this list is not complete. There are so many delicious, cleansing plant foods available on the market. If you eat your foods raw, limit the amount of sugary fruit you eat, and buy organic, pesticide free foods, your cleanse can be nothing but a huge success!

Meat Linked to Colon Cancer?

You don’t have to take my word for it! Read this amazing report by Yuri Elkaim …..

This is not scaremongery ~ These Are The Facts!

Do your self a favour, educate your self, learn all you can about your body and what you put in it ~ we need to take responsibility for our selves, our bodies and our lives ~ listen to no more lies from food manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies who line their pockets by keeping us sick!

It is our choice to be healthy ~ or at least it should be!

Report By Yuri Elkaim…

I’ve said many times that adopting more of a vegetarian diet is essential to living a long, healthy, and disease-free life.

Now I can understand that some people have a fixation with their meat and are adamant about getting their daily dose but recent research proves yet again that such dietary choices increase your risk of cancer (amongst other problems)!

Especially convincing was a review of 7,000 studies led by the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research that ultimately showed a significant relationship between the consumption of processed meats and an increased risk of colorectal cancer.

Specifically, every 48 grams (1.5 ounces) consumed a day elevated the risk of cancer 21%.

The 517-page study also concluded that the intake of heavy meats (beef, lamb, veal, pork, goat) boosted the risk of colorectal cancer and therefore they recommended consuming less than 500 grams (18 ounces) per week.

I personally take it one step further and recommend eating meat no more than twice a week.

Other studies have also shown that processed meats increase the risk of breast, lung, prostate, stomach, and pancreatic cancers!

How Does Meat Cause Cancer???

There are several ways in which processed meats contribute to cancer.

First, as I mention in my book Eating for Energy, meats are highly acid-forming in the body. And, an acidic internal environment is highly correlated with the development of cancer and other diseases.

Second, cooking meats to high temperatures forms heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, compounds shown to cause colon tumours in animals.

Third, processed meats (ie. deli meats) are also highly packed with sodium nitrite – a preservative added to meat to prevent botulism and give meats their red colour. The problem arises during cooking when these nitrites begin to react with other compounds in the meat to form cancer-causing nitrosamines and nitrosamides.

So What’s the Bottom Line?

Well, I hope that it’s pretty obvious after reading all the information above that eating meat on a daily basis does’nt do your body good. In fact, it does it quite a bit of harm!

I find it sad that we’re all brought up believing that meat needs to be an integral part of our diet. But as the strongest and healthiest animals and longest living people keep reminding us it’s all about eating more natural plant based foods.

Vegetables, fruit, and healthy grains is where its at!

Did you get sucked in by the high protein diet that everyone and their wife were talking about! Did you noticed how their breath (amongst other things) was smelling? How about their skin? Aw no thanks!

Anyhow, below is some more information from Yuri about why you should not opt in for the high protein!

If you want to learn about what diet does to your body, this is the man to follow!

Protein Diets Are Dangerous ~ By Yuri Elkaim

It is well known that protein consumption produces acid in the body. This is a result of the phosphorus and sulphur ash that protein breakdown leads to. Too much acid in the body (ie. acidosis) is associated with almost every disease process one of which is a weakening of the bones (ie. osteoporosis) due to a loss of calcium.

Recent research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism has shown that decreasing protein consumption from 1.1 g/kg/day to 0.8 g/kg/day has a highly beneficial effect on bone health.

Because high protein diets promote excess calcium excretion in the urine (calciuria) as a result of bone breakdown, the researchers wanted to investigate whether lowering protein intake would be beneficial to bone health – it obviously was!

The study investigated 39 healthy pre-menopausal women over a 2-week period and revealed several positive findings following the reduction in protein intake. Here’s what they found:

• mean urine nitrogen decreased by 26%
• mean blood urea nitrogen decreased by 15%
• mean urine pH increased from 6.3 to 6.8 (becoming more alkaline)
• net renal acid excretion decreased by 68%
• mean urinary calcium decreased by 32%, and
• bone resorption decreased by 17%

All of these numbers suggest improved pH conditions which favour healthy bones. Remember, if your body is too acidic it will leach calcium from the bones to alkalize the blood, there will be greater urine concentration of nitrogen and urea (from protein breakdown), and greater bone resorption will be evident.

The results of this study show that within a very short period of time you can easily support your body’s bones by reducing your meat (protein) consumption and by incorporating more alkalizing vegetables and fruit! Sounds pretty easy.

Eat alive and you will thrive!
