"We must start well since the morning, Says the doctor,« and instead of the usual biscuits in the cup of milk and coffee, prepare one centrifuge made with fresh fruit, fennel and carrots, foods rich in fiber that help the intestines to clean up, as well as moisturize the whole body well. And then a lot of water because, as the Ministry of Health reiterates, it is indispensable for all the physiological processes and for the biochemical reactions of our body ".

For a detox diet, you can prepare one mix of these vegetables, putting them in a pot with water and then, once cooked, frying them and seasoning them with a little extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Black cabbage and pumpkin, leeks and spinach, cauliflower and fennel are just some combinations for an effective detox diet and at the same time gratifying in flavors. «Do not forget then, concludes the doctor, «to consume some of them these vegetables also rawas a mid-morning snack: in this way you will get to assimilate all the properties of every single vegetable, to feel a sense of satiety that will prevent you from eating junk food and purifying your whole body. Without efforts and great renunciations .
