There are so many natural ingredients that can help you debloat, and certain foods which are almost guaranteed to add weight to your middle. If you’ve over-indulged on fat, sugar, salt or alcohol, these recipes can help you quickly get back on track. When you’re feeling bloated, fennel can be your best friend. I include several recipes in my Juice Fast Program that contain fennel because it is uniquely capable of helping belly bloat go way down.

This is an amazing detox healing soup recipe from the Gerson Institute, which they use for their cancer patients. It is full of antioxidant rich vegetables, simmered for three hours. Be sure to leave all the skins and peels on the vegetables (except for the garlic), because many of the minerals and nutrients are stored directly beneath the skin. Try to consume this soup within the first 48 hours of making it for maximum benefit.

This creamy warm soup is packed with cancer-protective nutrients and will probably end up on your list of soup night stapes! Do you have a soup night? We eat lots of vegetable soups, both raw and cooked, and mostly whenever we feel like it. But during the week, to make meal planning easier, we tend to do soup nights, salad nights, rawganic taco nights etc.. of course we deviate from the plan whenever we want, but for the most part, it provides a good structure for us.

When you know that a vegetable has anti-cancer properties, it should pique your interest. WHY? Because we encounter multiple cancer-causing elements daily. It’s not new news that 1 in 2 people are being diagnosed with cancer in North America, Europe and Australia. So eating well is how we fight back. Being aware and conscious of what we ingest on a daily basis goes a long way towards health.

This is one of the easiest, healthiest, energy-supporting drink you can make. It’s a perfect afternoon “pick me up”, and also excellent for pre-workout fuel, as well as post workout recovery. Three simple ingredients are all you will need: 1. 2 cups of organic Coconut Water. 2. 1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds. 3. 1 Tablespoon of a pure Green Powder (my favorite is Vitamineral Green).

When the bowel is clogged, your body is toxic. It is important that your body eliminate waste at least once a day, and ideally twice a day. If you are experiencing issues of constipation, you may be dehydrated, consuming too many refined foods, or not consuming enough fruits every day. Of course, there is a large list of medications that also contribute to constipation which can become dangerous.

Here are three easy juices to keep you going during different times of the day. Sometimes, we need a juice to “juice us up” after a good workout. We want to get some iron, some protein, some healthy sugars and some oxygen-enhancing phytonutrients. So I’ve included an amazing and easy juice that includes lots of greens and carrots to power you up after your workout.

Many people are familiar with the Master Cleanse, which is a 10 day program wherein you drink nothing but a maple syrup, cayenne and lemon juice mixture. I do not recommend the Master Cleanse as a regimen on its own, because you are not infusing your body with enough calories on a daily basis. This results in a slowing down of the metabolism which can be hard to recover from, particularly for people desiring to lose weight.

We drink a lot of citrus juices in the Rawganic house, mostly with fresh organic fruit picked from our own trees. There are so many benefits to orange juice, and it combines incredibly well with pineapple, lime, ginger and also carrots. Be aware that pasteurized orange juice from the store is never a good substitute, even if the juice is labeled “100% orange juice” or “100% pineapple juice” or “100% apple juice” followed by the words “not from concentrate”.
