• Incorporate lemon juice into your diet – be it a
  glass of lemonade or a squeeze in your fruit or salad
  bowl. It cleanses the body and strengthens the liver.


• If you are a compulsive non-vegetarian, start
  limiting its consumption to every alternate day.


• Staying hydrated is very important. Make sure
  you drink more than six glasses of water a day.


• Concentrate on Vitamin C this week. Start
  your day with a glass of lemonade. Eat citrus
  fruits such as oranges and grapefruit.


• Continue with a leafy green vegetable for
  lunch and dinner, but add some broccoli twice
  or thrice a week to your meals.


• Try to eat two tomatoes every day. Factor in
  tomato soup thrice this week.


• In fruits, include guava and strawberries and
  have some amla murabba (you can also have amla
  achaar) and drink vegetable juice daily.


• Eat non-vegetarian food only twice a week.


• Drink eight glasses of water a day.


• Now is the time for your beta-carotene dose.
  Alternate between mangoes and papaya for
  your fresh fruit dose.


• Have a serving of pepper, spinach, pumpkin
  or sweet potato daily.


• Snack on nuts and seeds in the evening.


• Start eating plenty of fibre including brown rice,
  whole wheat, oats and fresh fruits and vegetables.


• Limit non-vegetarian food to once a week.

Now that you have understood the basics and

know what to eat and what to avoid, get started

with this four-week plan.

• Increase the intake of Vitamin E. Snack on
  walnuts, peanuts and almonds, and sprinkle
  seeds (sunflower, flax and watermelon) and
  wheat germ on your morning cereal.


• Add olives to your salads every day and a
  green-leafy vegetable to your main meal. It is a
  good idea to add lettuce to your sandwich and
  soup. If you are a non-vegetarian, try eating
  some liver once or twice a week. IMAGE COURTESY GETTYIMAGES
