How to Cleanse the Body With Fruit

Using fruit is an effective way to cleanse the body and remove toxins. All fruits contain acids, which are necessary for the elimination of toxins from the bloodstream. They also give the body strength and energy. Once you cleanse the body with fruit, the cells will be cleared, and they will function properly and harmoniously. The following method to cleanse the body with fruit should be followed for at least five days. Stay on the fruit cleansing diet for as long as 10 days, if you are extremely overweight or unhealthy.

Things You'll Need

• Herbal laxative tea
• Grapefruit
• Oranges
• Lemons
• Other fresh fruit
• Spring or distilled water
• Fruit juices

Instructions

1. Cleanse the bowels with an herbal laxative tea before beginning to cleanse the body with fruit. Prepare the tea according to the instructions on the package, and drink it just before bed the night before you are to begin the diet.

2. Eat as many ripe, fresh fruits as possible. Eat at least two grapefruits, six oranges, and three lemons per day, in addition to as much fresh fruit of other types as possible.

3. Drink as much water as possible between eating the fruit. Aim for at least 8 to 10 glasses of spring or distilled water per day while cleansing the body with fruit, but do not drink while eating.

4. Drink fruit juice liberally while on the fruit cleansing diet. Pure organic grape, apple, grapefruit and orange juice are the most beneficial. Do not drink juices from concentrate or juice cocktails. If you are unable to find pure and organic fruit juice, substitute water instead.

5. Perform at least 30 minutes of exercise in the open air each day while on the diet to help the body eliminate waste. Walking is the best exercise, and can be done at your own pace. However, jogging or running are also acceptable, if you are in better physical condition.

Tips & Warnings

• When all your aches, pains and discomforts are gone, all the toxins have been removed from your system, and you may slowly return to a healthful, nourishing diet consisting of all the food groups. Recommended fruits for the fruit cleansing diet include pineapple, peaches, cherries, plums, pears, apples, ripe strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and all citrus fruits. Eat these liberally while on the diet. Herbal laxative tea, such as Senna tea, can be found at local natural health stores, and many well-stocked supermarkets.

• Do not consume milk, sugar, starch, gravy, butter, white flour, chocolate, dairy products, pasta, bread, oil, liquor, tobacco, or any other product that is not fruit or fruit juice while on the fruit cleansing diet. They will upset the reaction of the cleansing fruits on your blood, and negate all the work you've done.
