If you're feeling like a bloated whale after eating your way through chips 'n dip, burgers and cherry pie at the bbq, check out this simple digestive cleanse from our Summer Slimdown Guide.
Here are five scouring foods to consider from naturopathic doctor and nutrition specialist, Cathy Wong. These five are part of a two to three week comprehensive digestive cleanse aimed at first-timers:
- Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: About 40 percent of your diet should derive from this category.
- Nuts and Seeds: Stay away from the salted variety, and no peanuts!
- Quinoa: Expand your kitchen repertoire with this complete protein.
- Water: Drink lots and add lemon, but stay away from caffeine.
- Beans: High in cleansing fiber.
