Blood Type Diet cleanse

Kick off the summer by following a weeklong Blood Type Diet cleanse. Don’t be intimidated. It’s not difficult to do, and there are four key steps to following this cleanse. The only prerequisite is that you know your blood type.

STEP 1

Choose only those foods that are considered beneficial and highly beneficial for your type. If you need some menu guidance, you can refer back to your Eat Right, Live Right,Cook Right, or GenoType Diet books as well as the Personalized Cookbooks which have a fantastic four-week meal planners for each blood type so you can pick and choose what you want to include on your cleanse. By eating beneficial foods right for your type, you will be detoxifying your body and allowing all the body’s systems to function at their very best. Purchase organic when possible and stick to buying whole foods, rather than processed foods from a box, bag, or can.
 

STEP 2

Start the day with a tall glass of water with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Continue drinking water throughout the day. Water helps with cell regeneration and helps to cleanse the body. Aim to drink eight to ten glasses of water per day.
 

STEP 3

Get some fresh air and go outside for a walk. You’ll get your blood circulating, your muscles pumping, and the clean, crisp air will revive you. Try to walk every day, and if not possible, try for four 20-30 minutes walks during the week. Do not bring your cell phones! Unplug and tune into nature.
