After more than twenty years of work, improving diets and finding new methods for detoxification, Ann Louise Gittleman – a nutritionist, has again brought joy to every supporter of healthy living.
The 64-year-old author of thirty books, including a revolutionary diet and tips on how to restore vitality to a tired body, this time has designed a detox plan that includes the so-called miraculous potion.
This red drink, which basic ingredients are cranberry juice, ginger and lemon, can breathe new life to your liver, rid it from toxins,and as a result, improve the operation of the whole organism. The liver is the largest internal organ that purifies the blood, supports the digestive system, regulates blood sugar and eventually helps the storage of fat and protein production.
Each glass of wine, coffee or some form of industrially produced food inflicts a heavy blow to this organ located on the right side of the abdominal cavity, even though it’s known for its ability to regenerate. Therefore, don’t allow the liver to bear the burden of the modern life, and reach for the miraculous potion to rid it of toxins.
This food plan, designed by Gittleman, is very good because it’s applicable in everyday life, which includes a myriad of activities – from work through child care and shopping. Before the detox it’s necessary to conduct a seven-day food regimen that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables to cleanse the colon of toxins and prepare the liver. The eighth day is reserved for a fast which involves consuming only water and the miraculous potion, which recipe can be found below. After that, a three-day adjustment period follows to return to “normal”.During this period, probiotics – fermented foods that support the bacteria that your body needs in order to successfully synthesize vitamins and keep effective immune system will be very helpful.
