What to Avoid While Fasting
As far as vitamins are concerned, this is one day when you should NOT take dietary supplements. You want to give your digestive track a complete rest when it comes to digestion—whether that be foods or vitamins and minerals. There will be plenty of time to re-integrate your dietary supplement regimen the day after when you begin to eat real foods—like easily digestible and steamed veggies, stews, and soups to further assist the cleansing process with water-based dishes. Light proteins such as poultry and deep sea fish would be ideal, too.

I predict that fasting may become one of your favorite seasonal detox rituals just as it is mine.  Let’s fast one day at a time -just for the health of it!

*Although fasting is an excellent therapy for better health for most people, there are some who should not fast. You should not fast if you have cardiac arrhythmia, type I diabetes, congestive heart failure, ulcers, liver disease, or kidney disease or if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. You should not fast before or after surgery as it might compromise your ability to heal.Email

Apple Pie Detox Drink

http://summersaldana.com/2014/05/apple-pie-detox-drink-your-taste-buds-and-metabolism-will-love.html

The Apple Pie Detox Recipe: 

2 tablespoons Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 apple (sometimes I use a whole apple if I’m hungry)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (which also helps with blood sugar & cholesterol)
10 drops of vanilla stevia (regular stevia works as well)

Blend it up in your favorite blender (hello Vitamix, I love you!), and enjoy!
*To keep the cinnamon from settling, be sure to swirl the drink every little bit to keep it mixed in with every sip.

(For best metabolism results, drink in the mornings or before meals.)

Ginger,Lime.Mint Sparkling water

Ginger. When we think of this aromatic and spicy rhizome, Asian cuisine comes to mind immediately. Used in many Asian dishes, it imparts fantastic flavor. Ginger has been used for thousands of years and is indigenous to China. It has long been used in herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory effects, its relief of nausea and gastrointestinal disturbance, and its immune-boosting potential. It is also being studied as a means of preventing colorectal and ovarian cancer.

Roasted Cauliflower Soup

Cauliflower is not only high in antioxidants which fight cancer, keep your heart healthy, and boost your immune system, but it is one of the most fiber-rich veggies you can enjoy. Fiber is an excellent way to aid in a detox, and cauliflowers are brimming with it. Onion and rosemary provide beautiful flavor without excess calories, letting cauliflower take the spotlight in this detoxifying and delicious soup recipe.

• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Pinch of salt, more or less to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 (15 ounce) cans navy beans, drained and rinsed (optional, black beans)
• 4 cups vegetable broth, low-sodium
• 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes (no salt added), *this is an optional ingredient
• 4 cups baby spinach, loosely packed
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, optional, for serving (1/2 teaspoon per serving)

Directions

Add all ingredients, except spinach and olive oil, to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender. Add spinach, stir and continue cooking just until wilted, approximately 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy! (1 Serving Per Night if doing the 3 Day Cleanse & Detox)

Tip: If you prefer a thicker soup, after 5 hours of cooking, simply remove 1 cup of soup, along with ingredients, mash ingredients with a fork, return to the slow cooker, stir and continue cooking 1 to 3 hours. When serving, drizzle a little (optional) olive oil over each bowl of soup.

Note: Olive oil helps the body absorb nutrients more efficiently and supports a healthy digestive system.

Stovetop Method: Follow the same instructions above for prep, cover, and simmer until veggies are tender, approximately 2 hour. Stir every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Add spinach at the end of cooking time, remove from heat, cover and allow spinach to wilt before serving.
