HOW TO LOSE BY CURING THE INTESTINE

Walnuts as a snack

A snack based on 3 nuts and a fruit provides polyphenols, fibers and fats that are beneficial for our intestine. Walnuts also promote satiety, eliminating the desire to eat between meals.

Organic fruits and vegetables

Choosing organic for fruit and vegetables allows the body to get rid of pesticides and other substances that we find in the same products if we buy them at the supermarket. This according to Pullin allows the body to detoxify quickly. A large portion of organic vegetables for lunch and one for dinner if organic offer improvements from the early days, while fruit can be eaten for breakfast and as a snack.

Add antioxidant spices to your dishes

These spices provide flavor but not only: they have antioxidant substances capable of improving blood sugar and reducing cholesterol, also acting on intestinal inflammation. They are cumin seeds, turmeric, paprika, ginger powder and chili powder.

Have a legume-only meal one to two times a week + tamarind infusion

About twice a week we replace the first course at lunch with a legume soup, and once a day, preferably on an empty stomach, we drink an infusion of tamarind, which promotes weight loss and regularity, allowing the body to get rid of waste.

A plate of leafy vegetables for lunch or dinner

Of the two vegetable side dishes for lunch or dinner, at least one must be green leafy vegetables, including spinach, kale, Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, chicory or watercress. These vegetables feed the good bacteria in the gut and help it detoxify.
