Miscellaneous:

1. While detoxifying, you might feel a headache, fatigue, or slight nausea. Do not be surprised. It passes quickly. It is your body’s way of rebalancing its inner workings when your body is burning waste at higher-than-normal rate.

2. Drink a gallon of water everyday.

3. Do not do strenuous activities while detoxifying.

4. You may take multivitamin tablets.

5. After 2 days, do not revert back to your old eating habits right away. Give your system a chance to recover. Therefore eat light meals, preferably non-greasy vegetable recipes.

6. Find time to relax to detoxify your mind.
