There’s more to internal cleansing than just raw fruit and vegetable juices.
THE PRIME reason to detox should be to give you plenty of good microorganisms (or good bugs, as we call them). It also helps your gut discharge toxins and bring your pH (acid-alkaline level) to balance, thereby lending to stronger immunity.
Most diet detoxes just focus on raw fruit and vegetable juices. But I take a macrobiotic approach, which is about supplying the body with a cocktail of good bacteria all the time, to rejuvenate intestinal flora and support the inner ecosystem.
Here are the top five foods you will never hear of in a regular detox plan.
1. THE UMEBOSHI PLUM
Pickled umeboshi plums are found mainly in Japan, but are now available in India.
The plum has a powerful alkalising effect on the body, neutralising the acidity in the blood. It gets rid of fatigue, stimulates digestion and promotes the elimination of toxins and the absorption of calcium. The citric acid in umeboshi plums eliminates lactic acid in the body.
(To get umeboshi plums, go online to Wakaba Japanese food.)
