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.

The allium family of foods includes garlic, onions, leeks and chives, and they all contain flavonoids that stimulate the production of glutathione, the liver’s most potent antioxidant! Definitely include as much of the allium family in your diet as you can, each and every week. GARLIC: Lowers total cholesterol, raises HDL “good” cholesterol, lowers your risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), lowers blood pressure, reduces the risk of blood clots.

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.

If you are looking for an easy, healthy, raw dish to serve as an appetizer for a special Valentine’s dinner, look no further!

Cucumbers also pack powerful anti-cancer nutrients including polyphenols called lignans (pinoresinol, lariciresinol, and secoisolariciresinol), which may help to lower your risk of breast, uterine, ovarian, and prostate cancers.

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.
