Pick one type of fruit a day and for seven days eat nothing but that fruit all day long. If this is too drastic for you then eat the fruit all day long and then allow yourself a satisfying healthy dinner at night.

This fruit splurge is an amazing way to cleanse your digestive system, hydrate your body and your skin and give your system a jump start of vitamins and minerals. If you really want to jump start your health and beauty add the fresh squeezed juice of the fruit you pick to this fruit indulgence along with a healthy dose of mineral water, once you taste fresh watermelon juice you’ll be hooked. Your skin will glow, you’ll have more energy, and you’ll feel great!

When cleansing your body make sure you drink lots of water and exfoliate your body and your face. While detoxifying your body tends to slough off all of it’s impurities, using an exfoliant will keep your skin glowing and feeling soft.

Some wonderful fruit for cleansing:

Papaya: This fruit contains amazing digestive enzymes to sooth and protect your stomach, it is also high in antioxidants and vitamin C. Papaya is great for cleansing particularly if you eat a lot of meat.

Watermelon: This fruit is chocked full of water, hence the name, and is an excellent way to rehydrate yourself and your skin, a great way to thoroughly cleanse your system.

Pineapple: Like Papaya, Pineapple is great for cleansing and contains digestive enzymes. It is also wonderful to get rid of any excess water retention.

Mango: In season now and it tastes amazing! Research has shown mangoes to bring about a reduced risk of colon and cervical cancer. In addition mangoes are very high in beta carotene.

* You may experience some slight stomach discomfort at the beginning of this regimen, it’s normal so don’t worry, you’re system is just cleaning itself out.
