The secret of proper hydration is to drink water at room temperature, never to be cold and to consume it with small food bites in order for the cells to hydrate properly.

Morning

On the empty stomach, daily, two or three glasses of warm water with half a lemon juice will be drunk on the stomach. Warm lemon water is an excellent remedy for detoxifying the entire body, because it improves digestion, accelerates metabolism and purifies the liver.

To prepare lemon water, it is advisable to use pure water and the water should be warm but never hot. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon in water and drink this preparation in the morning when waking, always on the empty stomach.

After that, you will have to wait at least half an hour for breakfast.

As mentioned earlier, in addition to lemon water consumed in the morning, it is very important to consume at least two liters of water daily to help eliminate toxins in the body.

Breakfast

At breakfast, prepare a shake of the following ingredients:

– An apple or a pear

– ½ banana ripe

– A handful of young leaves of spinach

– A bunch of green leaves of celery

– A glass of vegetable milk of choice (oat, rice, almond, coconut, etc.) (200 ml)

– A handful of raw sunflower or pumpkin seeds

– One spoon of extra virgin coconut oil (15 g)

– One pinch of ginger powder

Directions:

With a blender, all ingredients will be processed very well for a few minutes until a homogeneous drink is obtained. It is served immediately.

Lunch

At noon you can choose three options, one in each group:

– Proteins: eggs, legumes, mushrooms, fish;

– Carbohydrates: entire grains (rice, quinoa, millet, pasta), entire bread or baked potatoes;

– Raw vegetables: salad, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, onions, avocados, vegetable juice or gazpacho sauce.

For example, the avocado fruit once ingested quickly turns into energy and contains very little fructose. It is indeed real that one of the major benefits of avocado fruit is weight loss and its high fat content and very low sugar is a key factor contributing to this effect.

The famous gazpacho soup originates in Andalusia (southern Spain) and has become very popular due to its delicious mix of vegetables and flavors: tomatoes (main ingredient), cucumber, bell pepper, garlic and onion.

You can add to your meals with extra virgin olive oil, apple vinegar and a little salt or Himalayan salt.

All these ingredients have great health benefits: for example, extra virgin olive oil has a high content of healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that contribute to good functioning of the body and prevent many diseases

The pink salt of the Himalayas maintains an optimal level of water in the body, which is essential for the optimal functioning of metabolic processes and for efficient cell activity.

At the same time, Himalayan salt crystals are actively involved in digestion and facilitate a better absorption of nutrients in the body.

Dinner

Dinner should be as simple and light as a vegetable cream soup and a portion of protein.

If you want a dessert, you can cook ripe apples or choose a few dried fruits (dates, plums, apricots, etc.).

Between the meals, a few fresh fruits, a slice of entire bread with fresh low-fat cheese, an avocado, or a glass of cocoa and honey-based vegetable milk can be used as snacks.
