Dear friend,
When I first started feeling as if my body didn’t
belong to me back in 2009, I was a mess. I
struggled to make sense of what was
happening to me but I kind of ignored it. I
thought that since I was a full-time working
nurse and a mother of 2 toddlers, I was simply
tired. I also thought that because I had the
knowledge of health and medicine then, I was
going to figure this out for myself in no time.
But you don’t look sick!
Chronic fatigue syndrome, left me wiped out of energy and out of
money. What was worse? It was a puzzle with no clear treatment
plans. Feeling discouraged, I didn’t believe that I would become
well again. But then, I had an epiphany. I needed to go back to the
basics of a cleaned body.
You see, I knew what I was doing was not serving me but I didn’t
know what I should do differently.
Is this where you are right now?
Ok, so what did I do differently?
I shifted my mindset and energy to listen to my body. I started
detoxing my body and heal my gut. now an active and I’m
energized mom of 5 and feel vibrant like never before!

Detox seems to be the entire buzz word nowadays, with a list of
superfoods, substances, and supplements to detox or cleanse the
body. But what is detoxification anyway?
Every day, our bodies are bombarded by a variety of pollutants in
our environment. Unfortunately, much of it is unavoidable. Therefore,
it is so important to add detoxifying foods to your everyday life. If you
aren't eating to cleanse your body from all of the bad things that
you are exposed to each day, your health will be affected and your
energy will dwindle down tremendously.
There are major organs in the body that need support to keep us
healthy and energised – the liver, which helps us make and regulate
many hormones plus help us detox out excess toxins, the adrenal
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
glands, which also make many hormones, including cortisol that help
us handle stress, and the gut, which handle digestion. These three
major areas have an interrelationship with each other and play a
vital role and how we feel.
It sounds complicated, but there is good news; you don't need to go
on a fancy or expensive detox diet, and you don't need to starve
yourself. You just need to include some detoxifying foods into your
everyday life. By simply adding detoxifying foods, you are not only
cleansing your body but also gaining more energy.
Here is a quick overview of detoxification:
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
When we are healthy, our bodies automatically eliminate the waste
left behind including toxins. I know “toxins and detox” are two words
that have been the buzz in the natural health scene lately. They are
not new and are known by different terms in several ancient
cultures. I personally do not like to use these two words lightly. But for
our purpose, I will attempt to define them as simple as possible.
Toxins tend to evoke only environmental burden such as fume from
your car, asbestos in an old building, or black smoke from the pipe of
a chemical or factory plant. However toxins are any substances or
compound that can be harmful to the body. Toxins can be
chemicals created by the natural processes occurring in the body,
or substances that we have ingested or breathe in without even
realizing it. If these substances are left in place, they can result in
diseases and discomfort and even make us feel sluggish.
Most of the “fun and comfort foods” we reach out to when we are
going to any kind of emotional turmoil can actually create harm to
the body if we are not functioning at an optimum level. We are
exposed in our modern day living to constant stress and demands
onto our body that makes it difficult to sometimes function to our
highest ability.
I define Detox or cleansing as supporting the body to do what it
automatically does best: eliminate unwanted waste that could rob
you of your energy and even make you sick.
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
After accumulation of toxins in the body, the body’s detoxification
pathways have to work harder to do the process naturally. You may
find yourself getting sick more often, you constantly have a cold, feel
tired, experiencing pain and many other symptoms.
These symptoms are your body telling you it’s struggling to perform its
job well. You can either stop what you are doing and make some
changes or continue until the body simply gives up fighting. When
the systems in our body become overloaded and overwhelmed, we
may experience several of the following symptoms:
Feeling extremely tired all the time
Headaches
Difficulty falling or stay asleep
Mood swings /anxiety
Depression and sadness
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
Hormonal problems such as thyroid issues, stubborn mid belly
weight gain and many more
Adult acne mostly facial but can be anywhere on the body
Women facial hair (hirsutism)
Excessive weight gain or weight loss
Low sex drive (libido) or just no interest in sex at all
Digestive issues such as belly bloat, indigestion or constipation
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Allergies (seasonal, chemical or food)
Autoimmune or chronic diseases including fibromyalgia,
diabetes, asthma and many more.
While it’s true that the body goes into the detoxification process
automatically every second, cleansing regularly can enhance these
natural aspects. It’s like having a car. You take it to change the oil,
do tune up so it can give you the best mileage and longevity.
Supporting our body with what we eat is simply making sure that we
live healthy and have the energy to do the things we love by:
Staying hydrated and drinking plenty of fluids
Nourish the body with vital nutrients found in whole and healthy
foods
Consuming a variety of vegetables and fruits
Nutrients packed Energy boosting snacks
Moving Your body
Deep breathing techniques to increase oxygen and lower
stress
Practicing being present to slow down and handle stress
Research from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
and the National Guideline from Health.gov shows a healthy,
nutrients dense diet couple with exercise and stress reduction are the
best way to be and stay healthy.

Below, you will find some of the benefits eating these 7 foods
regularly can offer:
Increase energy so you have control over how you go through
your day
Increase brain sharpness, mental clarity and lifted brain fog
Fall asleep and stay asleep better
Feeling refresh upon waking up in the morning
No more needing a 3:00 PM pick-me up sugar or caffeine boost

no more bloating, diarrhea or/and constipation
Clearer skin, stronger nails and no more hair breakage or

TURMERIC
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BEST FOODS TO GET YOUR BODY
DETOXING?
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
This root contains powerful medicinal properties that are great
for reducing inflammation. It also contains Curcumin as its
active ingredient, which is a strong antioxidant. Antioxidants
act as broom, sweeping away free radicals that can damage
your cells and steal your energy away. If you don’t like the taste
of fresh turmeric in food, try it in your smoothie or dry in chai.
AVOCADOS
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
Are filled with healthy fats, avocados can help to relieve
constipation and get your bowels moving. Having regular
bowel movements can help minimize the build-up of toxins in
your body. Plus healthy fats reduce food cravings and help you
feel full, therefore you eat less. Try avocado in the morning for
breakfast by itself, with toast or use a quarter in your
smoothie/shake or fiber packed soup.
CAULIFLOWER
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
Known as a cruciferous vegetable (of the cabbage family),
cauliflower is loaded with antioxidants. Cauliflower is a great
addition to any plate. It isn't just healthy, it has also been known
to increase heart health and fight cancer. Some easy ways to
enjoy cauliflower include roasted, pulse in a food processor
and use as 'rice', used in mashed potato, used for pizza crust or
blended into soup.
WALNUTS
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
Good source of glutathione and excellent source of omega-3
fatty acids. Walnuts can boost your brainpower and help to
clean the liver. While you may not want to eat it at every meal,
as it can be fattening, it has huge benefits when it is added into
your favorite foods such as salads or sautéed vegetables.
BROCCOLI
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
Also from the cabbage family, broccoli is usually recognized as
a cancer preventative and offers many amazing detoxifying
benefits for the body. Not only is it high in fiber, allowing for the
body's natural detoxification through waste elimination, it is also
high in water content, vitamin C and a powerful antioxidant.
Try broccoli sprout if available for higher nutrients. Add the
sprout to your shake, smoothie, soup or salad to kick-start your
day into high energy gear. Broccoli can be enjoyed raw if you
preferred.
LIME
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
You can't talk about detoxifying foods without talking about
the citrus family but especially lime. It is recommended that you
drink a glass of warm water with lime juice, a pinch of sea salt
or pink Himalayan sea salt, first thing every morning to improve
www.lakaywisdomhealth.com
your digestion, help your body to flush out toxins, and keep your
liver healthy.
BEETS
Believe it or not, beets are the powerhouse to my energy and
strength. Adding beets to your meal is a great way to detox the
body. Beets not only prompt the liver to start letting go of toxins,
they also help to flush those toxins out of the body so they do
not get reabsorbed. It’s a great vegetable to give you extra
energy. Eat is roasted in salad, or boiled or add it raw to your
morning smoothie or oatmeal.
One of the best things you can do for your body is to start
detoxifying on a regular basis. Find ways to add these foods to
your meals and you will reap the benefits.

BONUS HERBS
Herbs to boost energy are called adaptogens. They are plants
that can help balance adrenal function to decrease stress and
increase your energy. They are available as foods and/or
supplements depending on the adaptogen. They are well
worth trying. One of my favorite is Holy basil or Indian Tulsi.
You can use it fresh or as a tea. Add about 1 teaspoon of herbs
to 1 cup of boiled water. Steep for 5 minutes and enjoy.
BONUS RECIPE
CUCUMBER-APPLE-BEET LIVER CLEAN SMOOTHIE

You can double this recipe
1 cup spinach
