Dietary Guidelines

For a day or two before and after a session, drink lots of filtered or distilled water, herbal teas, and fresh juices, along with eating fresh, organic and seasonal vegetables, fruits, whole grains, soups, and lighter proteins. Eating this way naturally creates a healthier intestinal cleansing atmosphere and also reduces the possibilities of both excess gas build-up and delay in resuming your proper elimination function.

Minimize your consumption of dairy, sugar, wheat, and red meat and please remember to chew thoroughly!

The following are examples of healthy, cleansing foods to include:

• Herbal teas – chamomile, dandelion, green, peppermint
• Fruits – apricots, bananas, blueberries, figs, grapes, melons, oranges, papayas, peaches, pears, prunes
• Protein shakes – rice, hempseed, or whey
• Proteins – fish, poultry, tempeh, tofu, seeds
• Juices – vegetable and fruit
• Vegetables – preferably seasonal, beets, celery, cucumber, lettuces, parsnips, squashes, sweet potatoes, sprouts, yams; leafy greens such as collard, kale, lettuces, mustard, swiss chard, watercress, parsley
• Seaweeds – dulse, kelp, kombu, nori
• Whole grains – amaranth, barley, basmati rice, long grain brown rice, buckwheat, millet, quinoa
• Breads (if you must) – gluten-free, Ezekiel’s Food for Life, or Manna varieties
