- 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.

- 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
