good Health Beautiful insid e OUT By Jenna Lobos THE Q + A NAKED Dear Jenna, I am a business women, who entertains clients often, which includes going out to dinner and lunches. I would like to cleanse my body and partake in a detox, is there a way of doing so, without going on an extreme juice or water fast, and still go out with my clients? Dear Marilyn, This is a great question! Although there can be some benefits to juice fasting, this does not always fit into a busy lifestyle. A simple and effective way to detox is through foods high in nutrients, this allows the body to detoxify itself naturally, the way it was meant to. Start with incorporating natural diuretics, such as kale, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, melon and asparagus - these are great for ridding the body of excess fluid. Purchase organic produce, whenever possible. Avoid the culprits; gluten, soy, dairy, and sugar, which can cause allergies. For your lunches, stick to lots of fresh vegetables and salads, which will keep your energy levels high. For dinner, you can add a non-toxic meal, such as roasted fish with kale or brussle sprouts. (Option: switch lunch and dinner) Tip: start your morning with one cup of aloe vera juice, 1 squeezed lemon, and 1 tsp. of Udo'S 3-6-9 Oil Blend. This will alkaline your body for the day, is great for digestion, and the healthy fats in the oil will slow down the absorption of any sugars that enter your blood stream. Make sure you keep hydrated with water, herbal teas, or aloe vera with lemon. Get plenty of rest, since your body has a difficult time getting rid of toxins when it is sleep deprived. I recommend keeping to this plan for 30 days, and then for 10 days each spring, summer and fall.
