Health and Wellness: The New Detox Diet

Tonight I wanted to give a huge nod to the book "The New Detox Diet: The Complete Guide for Lifelong Vitality with Recipes, Menus & Detox Plans" by Elson M. Haas, M.D.

Much of the information in this book forms the foundation of the program at Grail Springs in Bancroft, Canada, a Health and Wellness Spa. If you want to get on the right track of lifelong Health, Wellness and Vitality, this book is a great place to start. Not only will your understanding of detoxification increase, but you'll have your pick of great recipes. There are breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes, recipes for great soups, salads and side dishes, recipes for sauces, dips and dressings, snacks and treats, hot and cold drinks, fabulous smoothies and terrific fresh vegetable and fruit juices.

At the end of the chapter on "Supplements for Detoxification", you'll find a table that recommends daily amounts of vitamins and minerals, amino and fatty acids that support the body and the detoxification process in general.

You may decide (and it's a good idea) to get most of the Book's recommended vitamins and minerals in a daily multi-vitamin. In addition, do some product research on the detox formula herbs including: echinacea, yellow dock, goldenseal, garlic, parsley, licorice, and cayenne pepper.

If you are looking for detoxification diets, you'll find a number of diets to choose from in "The New Detox Diet", including sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and drug detoxifications. So, if you have decided that this is your year to quick smoking as an example, it's great to include the recommended "Stop Smoking Diet" and to detoxify as well. Check out this book, it is really worth the read. More importantly, use the information to get on the right track to ensure a lifetime of good health and wellness.

Well, I'm off to do my 30-minute strength-training session. I'm breaking one of my "Top 10 Health, Fitness, and Wellness Tips" from yesterday and waiting until the end of the day to get my workout in. However, better late than never. I'm committed as are you. Our goals again are: "Healthy. Fit. Living Fully."

Until tomorrow. Have a great evening!
