Coming out of a cleanse is one of the
most important parts of it as it sets the tone for your body of
what's to come.
Depending on the cleanse that you have
been doing, the body has been
getting rid of old material: residues, toxins, damaged cells,
parasites, etc. allowing it now to function at a much more efficient
rate. The lighter the burden that the body has to carry the more
vital your cells, tissues and organs will be and more efficient the
repairing and healing process will become.
When coming out of the cleanse it is
critical, in order to maintain the beneficial effects of it, to
start ingesting the right kind of nutrition slowly and in phases. A
cleanse is an important point in time where you're setting your
system into new standards. If you go back into ingesting mediocre
quality food you're setting yourself up to going back to where you
started.
For this reason it is vital to come
out of the cleanse ingesting only the very best nutrition. This
means, no sugar, no dairy, no meat, no processed/packaged food and
most importantly no STRESS at least for a week after finishing the
cleanse. Although this needs to be adjusted according to the length
of time that you have been cleansing. Doing a cleanse for a
week requires different weaning that a month long one.
Here is a guideline, in phases. You
should adjust the length of each phase according to the length of
your cleanse.
Phase 1:
Juicing (NOT bottled juices), and vegetable broths and/or miso soup in you're cold or
need salt. Don't eat the solids.
Phase 2: Introduce fresh fruit Smoothies
(NOT bottled smoothies) with Superfoods (like
Spirulina,
Vitamieral Green and/or
Greener Grasses,
Goji berries, etc), Salads and small
amounts of Sauerkraut for replenish the intestinal flora. You want
to continue with Phase 1 while on Phase 2 like starting your day
with a juice then a smoothie then a salad, then a broth, etc.
Phase 3: You can start introducing
small amounts of cooked foods, dairy, small amounts of nuts & seeds and animal proteins
only if you
can't live without them. Although we have to warn you that cooked
foods are in general detrimental for the overall health as it
literally kills the enzymes in food. Food without enzymes are taxing
to your system especially as you grow older and your pool of enzymes
get depleted. Food without enzymes become very difficult to digest
and undigested food creates congestion and eventually sluggishness. |
