week three
what to do
You should continue the programme of diet and rest that you
followed in week two but, to accelerate detoxification, you should
build in a programme of daily exercise. Do some low intensity
exercise for 45 minutes twice daily. The best types of exercise are
brisk walking, cycling or swimming.
You should also step up your intake of vitamins, minerals and trace
elements by drinking a glass of fruit or vegetable juice twice
every day. Recommended fruit juices are carrot, blackberry,
blueberry, cherry or apricot. Good vegetable juice combinations
include broccoli, green bean and lemon juice or carrot, cabbage and
green or red pepper.
Before breakfast in the morning, drink the juice of half a lemon
mixed with an equal amount of cold-pressed olive oil. This
facilitates the emulsion and flow of bile into the digestive
system. Other important dietary measures for week three
are:
l Eat more of the following foods: rice, root vegetables such as
carrot, celeriac, Jerusalem artichoke and turnip, germinated
pulses, green vegetables, raw apple, fig and brazil
nut.
l Eat fish at least twice a week.
l Drink 1–2 litres of mineral water every day; preferably with a
medium to high mineral content (page 138).
how to succeed
l Drink some water or herbal tea before you exercise, but avoid
exercising on a full stomach.
l Eat a light snack after exercise, but nothing too
heavy
l Keep following the tips for success for weeks one and
two.
possible side effects
Weight loss will continue as you burn calories during exercise.
Exercise may also give rise to symptoms such as muscular aches (a
recommended remedy for this is homeopathic arnica tablets of 30 or
200 potency; take when needed). However, if you experience a strong
tightening or gripping pain in the centre of your chest after a few
minutes of exercise, you must rest immediately and consult your
doctor. Any sharp pains in weight-bearing joints or your lower
back, should also be reported to your doctor.
the benefits
You will continue to feel more energetic, and your digestion,
breathing and sleep patterns will improve
further.
