How to Do a Liquid Cleansing Diet

A liquid cleansing diet is a good way to get rid of the toxins in your body, such as caffeine, food preservatives, and nicotine. Liquid cleanses are great to do in the spring, because they rely heavily on fresh fruit and vegetable purees. In addition, liquids in the spring and summer can be refreshing in the hot sun. Doing a liquid cleanse will help reduce digestive problems, including bloating and weight gain, and will increase your energy.

How to Do a Liquid Cleansing Diet

• 1

  Begin in the morning. Immediately after you wake up, start your day by squeezing fresh lemon juice into a glass of lukewarm water. Cold water is not good for the body. The lemon juice will kick-start bile production in the liver.

• 2

  Make yourself a fresh fruit or veggie smoothie for lunch. Blend together any of your favorite vegetables with ice. Add lemon juice for acid flavor and flaxseed for added fiber. You can purchase flaxseed at any local health store.

• 3

  Drink a glass of 100 percent fruit juice as a snack. Drink one glass of warm water with a pinch of chlorophyll added. Chlorophyll is a strong antioxidant and detoxifier. You can purchase chlorophyll at any local health-food store.

• 4

  Prepare a warm, pureed vegetable soup for dinner. Try pumpkin or carrot and celery soup, with sesame oil added for flavor. For dessert, make yourself another fruit smoothie, this time with different fruit. Try bananas and strawberries for a sweet treat.

  Repeat these steps each day for a minimum of four days and a maximum of one week. Do a liquid cleanse four times per year for optimum health.
