The process of a general internal cleanup can be compared to tidying up a house: it is pointless to clean the space if waste continues to be brought in. The effectiveness of any comprehensive program heavily depends on exactly what is on the plate during this period.
Heavy, refined food overloads the digestive tract and binds the resources of the liver, which should be directed toward neutralizing and eliminating accumulated metabolic byproducts. A light, plant-based diet, on the contrary, works in synergy with the program, helping body systems easily part with the ballast.
Transitioning to mindful eating does not mean severe starvation. It is a temporary but necessary measure to create ideal conditions for renewing microflora and supporting the barrier functions of mucous membranes.
