Detox diet for 7 days
Metabolism depends on proper nutrition
There are foods that activate metabolism and make it faster.
First of all, it's fiber. It is coarse, indigestible dietary fiber. They are not digested, they have another task - to irritate the walls of the gastrointestinal tract and, thereby, stimulate the movement of food gruel downwards. Fiber particles act on the intestinal walls as a food scrub, mechanically cleansing them.
What foods contain fiber? First of all, this is bran, that is, the shell of grains, which is a waste product of the flour milling industry. They are now sold in most grocery stores in the grocery section and are inexpensive. They are available in the form of powder, granules, balls and sticks. Balls and sticks are more convenient and enjoyable to eat. They can be eaten along with milk, yogurt, honey, sprinkled on salads, main courses, etc.
A lot of fiber is found in whole grain and bran bread. Actually, their names indicate this. By the way, rye bread called Pumpernickel has long existed in Germany. It is made from coarse flour with inclusions of particles of unmilled grain. This bread is extremely beneficial for the digestion process. It has been used as a remedy for constipation since the Middle Ages.
The peels of fruits and vegetables are also rich in fiber. Therefore, they should be eaten, if possible, with the skin on, of course, after washing thoroughly.
Among the fruits, citrus fruits are very useful for metabolism. It should be noted that any food that has a sour taste stimulates digestion, so it should be included in your diet as often as possible. In addition to citrus fruits, this includes sauerkraut, cranberries, cherries, kiwi, pineapples, etc. All of them help to establish regular bowel movements.
What vitamins stimulate metabolism?
To speed up metabolism, you need to consume foods containing B vitamins. They activate digestion and absorption of food, thereby facilitating the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
Vitamin B1 is found in whole grain bread, buckwheat, oatmeal, and green peas. It is also found in meat and legume foods.
Vitamin B2 is rich in dairy and fermented milk foods, eggs, liver and kidneys, as well as buckwheat.
Vitamin B6 is found in various nuts, root vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, spinach, garden strawberries, cherries, citrus fruits and avocados. It is also found in meat and dairy foods, fish, eggs, and legumes.
Vitamin B9 is found in liver, eggs, carrots, leafy vegetables, peas, beans, soybeans, and oranges.
Vitamin B12 can be obtained exclusively from animal foods: meat, liver, dairy and fermented milk foods, eggs.
In the winter season, to further stimulate metabolism, you can take medicinal complexes containing B vitamins.
There are also many vitamins from this group in wheat sprouts.

Menu for 7 days for cleansing
The cleansing diet is designed for a week, each day is dedicated to one product. A consistent combination of mono-diets diversifies the meager menu and prevents you from getting bored.
Approximate structure:
| Days of the week | Name | What is possible |
| Monday | Drinking regime | You are allowed to drink a variety of liquids: tea, water, cocktails, broth and water. In this case, the drinks must be warm. |
| Tuesday | Vegetable mode | You can include vegetables in the menu: white cabbage, carrots, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce. |
| Wednesday | Drinking regime | You are allowed to drink a variety of liquids: tea, water, cocktails, broth and water. In this case, the drinks should be warm (repeat 1 day). |
| Thursday | Fruit mode | You can please your stomach with something delicious and eat any fruit: apples (green and red), oranges, grapefruits, kiwis, bananas. |
| Friday | Protein mode | You can provide your body with invaluable proteins using boiled fish, eggs, yogurt, and even chicken (turkey) breast. However, you should not stock up on proteins for future use; 4-5 small portions of food are enough to maintain performance. |
| Saturday | Drinking regime | We are trying to “dissolve” toxins using liquid. Repeat 1 day. |
| Sunday | Balanced mode | We are trying to painlessly return to regular food. You can treat yourself to hearty chicken broth, boiled meat, a couple of eggs, vegetable or fruit salads. To restore digestion, you need to eat small portions, 5-6 times a day. |
It is quite easy to follow such a diet, because you do not need to suffer for days, languishing from an ineradicable feeling of hunger. In addition, even if the daily menu is clearly divided into 4 meals (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner), no one forbids you to have an additional snack from the foods allowed that day. If the desire to “taste something sweet now” is insatiable, then you can try to trick your stomach by drinking a glass of water with lemon juice dissolved in it.
It is better to start a gastronomic cleansing when there are no health problems and excessive physical (and psychological) stress is not expected. Otherwise, the combination of diet + overload will lead to stress and the body will “refuse” to lose weight, while following a cleansing diet guarantees minus 10 kg after completing the 7-day course.
Three useful tips
Visit a bathhouse or sauna. For the best results, it is good to supplement the detox diet with the following procedures:
Take warm baths with sea salt before bed
Sea salt helps fight cellulite, improves skin condition, heals wounds, rejuvenates and promotes weight loss.
Visit a bathhouse or sauna, make honey masks
Mix honey with coarse salt (or sea salt) in equal proportions, rub the mixture all over your body and steam for as long as you can stand it. Then rinse the honey with water. The high temperature in the sauna will help your body get rid of toxins faster, and the honey mask will make your skin silky.
Health: we are what we eat
The intestines are the main “overpass” of our body. All elements that enter it along with food are building materials for our body. Therefore, it is clear that its cleanliness and impeccable work are determining factors for our physical well-being. Such an important thing as metabolism depends on this. It’s not for nothing that doctors say that everything starts with the intestines, including the immune system.
If it is clogged with waste substances that are not removed in time, they poison the blood. Therefore, their timely removal is vital for health. We all know what kind of discomfort a person faces when the stool becomes loose and the evacuation of waste substances occurs with long interruptions. Gas appears, complexion deteriorates, breath becomes stale, mood worsens, etc.
But when the intestines are emptied daily, and this happens easily and without straining, the state is completely different, the person experiences a feeling of lightness and cheerfulness.
There are cases where constipation lasts up to 6 days. Due to the poisoning of the body with waste substances, severe discomfort is felt. In such cases, only intestinal lavage and repeated enema to clean water can help.
To combat habitual constipation, some people take laxatives - there are a great variety of them in pharmacies, including dietary supplements. Unfortunately, they are addictive, because of this the intestines become lazy and cannot work on their own. It is clear that health suffers from this.
However, the stool problem can be solved without medications. To do this, you need to establish proper nutrition and then stick to it constantly.
What results can be achieved
Colon cleansing can lead to the following positive effects:
- Normalization of motor-evacuation function of the gastrointestinal tract. Adequate smooth muscle function facilitates the proper movement of food particles in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Restoration of microflora. In the intestine there should always be a certain ratio between beneficial microorganisms (many) and representatives of opportunistic (average amount) and pathogenic flora (few or absent).
- Increased nutrient absorption. Well-coordinated work of barrier tissues, sufficient fermentation and adequate speed of advancement improve the absorption of all necessary components.
- Preventing body poisoning. Prolonged presence of feces causes activation of the processes of rotting and fermentation. The only way to eliminate toxic substances formed during this process is absorption into the blood.
Features of diet preparation for various intestinal disorders
Intestinal dysfunction in adults is treated with surgery, medications and a gentle diet. Nutritional habits directly depend on the type of disease and its severity. Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis, so if you detect any symptoms of disease, you need to contact a specialist for help.
If a disorder of the digestive tract is noticed in a child, then under no circumstances should you self-medicate; you should immediately consult a doctor who will help determine the etymology of the disease and prescribe its correct treatment.
The most common cause of the disorder is food poisoning. In such cases, the patient may feel unwell, the body temperature rises significantly, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea appear. In case of poisoning in the first days, until the most acute symptoms subside, it is recommended to eat only liquid or puree foods. The diet should consist of medicinal decoctions, strong tea without sugar and fermented milk products with a low percentage of fat. Daily caloric intake is reduced by 20%, and in some cases by 50%.
