Easy Body Cleansing Diets

The Everything Easy Cleanse Book is an instruction manual offering advice, recipes and tips for undertaking a healthy detox diet.

It was created by Cynthia Lechan Goodman, a nutrition consultant, chef, and personal trainer, who regularly develops body cleansing programs for her clients to help them overcome digestive disorders, release excess weight and improve their overall health.

Body Cleanse Diet Basics

Firstly, Goodman explains why it is important to cleanse your body and what benefits you can expect when you undertake a cleansing diet. She then explains the difference between various types of cleanses such as the flush type, the fasting type, and cleanses based on blending foods.

According to her it is important not to regard a cleanse as a “one-time, flush-it-out quick fix”. Instead you should think of it as a commitment to cleansing not only your body but also your lifestyle of all the factors that are negatively impacting your health.

A variety of different body cleanse diets are provided and these are categorized into chapters related to the positive effects they have on certain health problems.

Each chapter includes information about the specific health issue, how a cleanse can help, the best nutrients for the condition, the foods you should emphasize, recipes, and what to do after the cleanse.

Some examples of the different body cleanse diets include:

• Cleansing for optimal weight management
• Cleansing for healthy digestion
• Cleansing for strength and stamina
• Cleansing for a healthy heart
• Cleansing for better focus and concentration
• Cleansing for clearer skin and stronger nails
• Cleansing for peak performance at any age

All of the cleanses are meant to be used for a maximum of three days. For each cleanse you will choose nutrient rich meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and two small nutrient snacks in between. It is also important to be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water or herb tea throughout the day.

The last chapter of the book outlines post-cleanse guidelines providing instruction on ending your cleanse, how to transition back to a normal diet, tips for maintaining good habits, and recipes for eating after the body cleanse.
