Things to Do During Your Clean Week

Some additional things you could do to help your body along would be:

1. Start your day: Try oil pulling! It is weird at first, but your teeth will feel super clean and you can actually tell toxins are being pulled out. I take 1–2 tablespoons of coconut oil in my mouth and switch it around for 10–20 minutes. Then I spit it out, rinse, and do a quick brush before eating or drinking anything else. This should be done on an empty stomach.

2. Make a cider vinegar mixture. I drink this as a warm “tea” before I have coffee or breakfast:

• 2 tablespoons raw cider vinegar

• 1/2-1 lemon juiced

• 1-2 teaspoons raw honey

• Dash cinnamon 

I add hot water and sip. You could make it ahead of time and have it in your fridge if you would rather have it cold. It takes some getting used to, but I have noticed a big difference in how many colds I get as well as overall gut health.

3. Try a high-quality probiotic if you do not already take them.

4. Tongue scraping. It has benefits, though I do not do it as I am squeamish about it for some reason!

5. Dry brushing your skin. See the below links for information on benefits and how to on this.

6. Exercise!

7. Drink lots of water!

8. Extra snacks: some snacks to have on hand include cut vegetables, fruit, Mary’s Gone Crackers , and seeds like pumpkin and sunflower, dry fruit, and nut-free kale chips. Use unsweetened sun butter or pumpkin butter for dipping—almond butter is also alright, but nuts can cause inflammation!

Things to Avoid during Your Cleanse

1. No alcohol (important!)

2. Avoid processed foods and sugars

3. Avoid wheat or gluten

4. Avoid dairy

5. Avoid other items that are known to cause inflammation such as beans, eggs, grains, and nuts. Adzuki beans or lentils are acceptable. The cleanse menu has some soy protein as it is vegan.
