Danny Vierra's 7-Day Spa Detox Plan

The 7-Day Spa Detox Plan must be used in conjunction with Almighty Cleanse, the plan on its own is not intended for cleansing or detoxing.

You could spend hundreds of dollars on costly colon irrigation at a spa resort, but the invasiveness and ridiculously high price aren't for you. Instead, get a spa-style total body detox treatment in the comfort of you own home. Complete with a meal plan and recipes, you can enjoy an entire week of detoxifying and cleansing meals inexpensively and in the comfort of your own home.

The Almighty Cleanse 7 Day Spa Detox plan is found below, in an easy to use, printable seven day calendar. It includes spa quality meals for all seven days along with recipes from Danny. You can substitute ingredients or move around meals as necessary.

Danny has advocated and followed a whole-food plant diet for many years. A whole food plant diet is great for improving your health and can dramatically enhance the results of you cleanse. The following meal plan provides a whole food plant diet and a healthy meat or fish option. Enjoy!

AFTER THE CLEANSE:

Feeling good and being healthy isn't over on the last day of your cleanse - it's just the beginning! Here are some tips for maintaining this good, healthy feeling during and in between your seasonal cleanses:

• CUT OUT JUNK FOOD: it's high in chemicals and refined sugar, and low in fiber. Junk food doesn't provide the body with nutrition, only empty calories.
• PRACTICE PORTION CONTROL: this is the easiest way to not overload your digestive system and avoid extra calories. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to make sure you're fully digesting what you eat.
• EAT ORGANIC: Include lots of fresh fruits, salads, whole grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and real fruit juices to give your body the nutrition it craves.
• DRINK LOTS OF WATER: 8-10 glasses per day. The benefits are numerous.
• CONTINUE DRINKING WARM WATER: with fresh lemon juice in morning to detoxify and stay regular.
• GO OUTSIDE: enjoy moderate sunshine and lots of fresh air.
• SLEEP: at least eight hours a night so your immune system can keep you healthy.
• EXERCISE: on a regular basis to tone and tighten muscles, maintain a healthy weight and improve heart health.
• REDUCE YOUR CONSUMPTION: of animal products (including dairy products) that are often high in saturated fat.
• USE ALMIGHTY CLEANSE: every three months for optimal health.
