Rid your body of accumulated toxins once or twice a year with a seven-day diet consisting of fruits and vegetables

You don't have to wait to fall ill to cleanse your system. It is wise to eliminate the accumulated toxins and cleanse the body once or twice a year to restore physical and mental health, vigour and vitality. Remember to consult your doctor before starting this cleansing diet plan.

Note: It is essential to drink at least eight glasses of water during these seven days to aid elimination.

Day 1 and 2: Fruits and vegetables. Add three bowls of vegetable soup.

Eat any of the two fruits every three hours — apple, orange, grapefruit, pomegranate, melon. Lunch and dinner should be a bowl of salad comprising tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, grated carrot and spinach. You can add a pinch of salt, pepper and lemon juice for the dressing.

Vegetable soup

Ingredients: pumpkin, carrot, cauliflower, celery, green vegetables

Method: Steam the vegetables. Add water and blend the vegetables in a blender. Heat olive oil (half tea-spoon for the entire day) in a pan, and then add vegetables and seasoning of your choice (coriander/ pepper/ thyme/ herbs).

Consume a bowl of soup in the morning, noon and night.
