Detoxification

I am going to describe a 10-Day detoxification plan and explain how it works. To successfully carry out this detoxification and maintain a change of diet that will follow needs 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 (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 juice 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 choose 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.

It is important to note that this detoxification plan is for both the man and his wife. The pH phenomenon may be affecting both of them. For the woman, it is absolutely necessary for her to continue throughout the duration of pregnancy. This is to make sure that there is adequate supply of hormones throughout pregnancy. Progesterone is the female hormone that is secreted throughout the duration of pregnancy, to maintain it. It also opposes the blood level of oestrogen. The man may want to continue with this new lifestyle and enjoy the benefits of detoxification. For him, the job is over when the wife gets pregnant.

Apart from ensuring that you get pregnant, detoxification and maintaining this diet of raw vegetables and fruits have other benefits to the body and these are: Weight loss; Blood sugar regulation and management of Type 2 Diabetes; Blood pressure control; Health to each cell of the body with optimal performance; Strength and stamina; and Anti-ageing.

Some of these conditions, if allowed to co-exist with pregnancy, could constitute serious risks to the mother and foetus.
