De-Tox Menu

Upon rising drink a glass of water with fresh lemon or lemon essential oil. You can drink warm water, room temperature or ice water. This helps cleanse the body.

Take a few moments to stretch, and meditate for several minutes to set your intention for the day.

Choose one from the following categories each day.

2 Oranges
1 Grapefruit
5-10 Strawberries
