Top Foods for Glowing Skin & Tummy Detox: A Day Plan
Morning Start
Start your day with a water therapy. Wash a lemon and then squeeze half a lemon into half a liter of water. Drink down the entire half liter when you first wake up to supercharge vitamin C and hydrate your body.
A half hour later crush one to two gloves of fresh garlic onto a spoon. Leave the crushed garlic to rest for five minutes. During this time squeeze half a lemon into a glass of water and drop the rind into your glass. Swallow down the raw garlic and drink down the lemon water.
Wait at least two hours before eating. Can you fast until lunch? Giving your digestive tract a break will give the garlic and lemon more time to work its healing magic unimpeded.
What is the most detoxifying food you can eat? Did you know it is garlic?
Garlic has antibiotic properties and has been used for thousands of years to heal the body of bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections.
Garlic messages the liver to create detoxifying enzymes that work together with its antibiotic properties to clean the residue of harmful chemicals, pesticides, metals, and herbicides from your digestion system (1).
The antioxidant effect of Garlic will protect your skin against the aging effect of free radicals and prevent your skin from losing its elasticity, thus fighting wrinkles (1).
Squeezing the lemon juice and drinking it immediately will prevent a loss in vitamin C and nutrient quality.
The fresh lemon juice you drink is high in vitamin C, which also works to flush toxins from your body by aiding the kidneys and liver in their detoxing processes (2). Vitamin C boosts your immune system and neutralizes the free radicals in your body that could damage your DNA and start the growth of cancer.
Your dose of citrus will stimulate the production of collagen and play a key role in the repair and healing of your skin. As an added bonus, the lemon juice and Vitamin C will balance your electrolytes and enable you to expel excess water weight (2).
A healthy and detoxified digestion system and a boost in immune response will give your skin a healthy glow and boost your well-being.
