Detoxification Food Guidelines - It should not be surprising to you that my best advice for ensuring a healthy, long life is to base your diet as our ancestors did on a foundation of many different plant foods. Eating fruits,
vegetables, beans, and whole grains in abundance will unquestionably help to eliminate carcinogenic agents from the body. Countless studies had prove such foods decrease the risk of all cancers, diabetic, and hear disease. Here are the food guidelines for detoxification.
1. Eat a plant-based diet containing five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
2. When it comes to calories, less is more. Calorie restriction decreases risk of cancer and keeps us from aging prematurely.
3. Eat healthy meals at regular times. Don’t skip breakfast. If you get hungry between meals, eat fruits and raw vegetables and/or whole-grain snacks or nuts.
4. Drink six to nine glasses of water per day.
5. Minimize refined sugars as well as processed carbohydrates.
6. Keep fat intake to 20–30 percent of your diet and make sure the sources of fat contain omega-3 and omega-6 fats (flaxseed oil, walnuts, seeds, avocados, olives, and cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna).
7. Eat small portions (six ounces or less) of lean meat from rangeor grass-fed animals.
8. Avoid overcooked and burned meats, charcoal barbecued meats, salt-cured and smoked meats, and salt-pickled foods, which contain dangerous chemicals that can trigger the process of cancer. The recipes provided later in this book illustrate many delicious and health-protective methods of preparing foods.
9. Avoid processed, polished grains but consume whole grains such as brown rice, whole wheat, oats, and barley. This will increase your intake of both soluble and insoluble fiber as well as beneficial phytochemicals.
10. Avoid consumption of excessive protein.
11. Decrease salt content of food. Season sparingly or better yet, season instead with pepper, which contains phytochemicals that help in the absorption of other phytochemicals.
12. Do not drink more than two alcoholic beverages per day if you are a male and one and a half or less if you are a female. Wines, especially red wines, contain several beneficial phytochemicals but should still be consumed in moderation.
