Chlorella
Chlorella will help balance your blood sugar. It will also help with sugar cravings, which is what we want during this process! We know that chlorella is amazing in that it binds with heavy metals (such as mercury, aluminum, and lead) and to environmental toxins (pesticides, insecticides, carcinogens, and radiation) so that they can be more effectively eliminated from the body.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a health-promoting, naturally saturated fat made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which are thought to increase metabolism and promote weight loss.

Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes are formulated to maximize digestion and assimilation of all foods and nutrients. Enzymes can be lost during the cooking or processing of foods, which can place an unnecessary burden on the body because it has to create its own enzymes by robbing them from metabolic enzymes, including metabolic antioxidant enzymes (e.g., SOD, Superoxide Dismutase). An enzyme supplement, even when eating a 95% raw food diet, can help the body absorb nutrition from the food you eat, purify your blood, and assure a burden isn’t addressed by using metabolic enzymes.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA)
It’s estimated that about 80% of the North American population consumes an insufficient quantity of essential fatty acids. In addition to providing the body with energy, the essential fatty acids function in our bodies as components of healthy nerve cells, cellular membranes, and hormones, and, most importantly, they promote healthy cells. Memory, allergies, blood platelets, skin, hair, and nails are also affected by EFA deficiencies.

It should be noted that omega oils, which are EFAs, greatly increase the effectiveness of B vitamins, so mega-doses of B complex vitamins should be avoided. It’s also important to be very selective about the brands of EFAs you use because improperly processed oils are harmful, and some believe they may even be toxic. That means you need to kiss your margarine, corn oil, safflower oil, and soy oil goodbye. Replace them with healthy options, like extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flax oil, and real butter in moderation.

Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are tiny seeds, available as brown or golden, and are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. To preserve the delicate oils, flax seeds should be consumed raw. Grind them in a coffee grinder immediately before eating.

Flax Seed Oil
Flax seed oil is a nutritious oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids. As a supplement, take one or two tablespoons a day on salads or in a smoothie. Flax seed oil is very fragile and should never be heated.

Hemp Protein
Organic hemp seed protein powder is packed to the rafters with proteins and minerals, and is an absolutely fantastic nutritional supplement—especially for those seeking organic, vegan, gluten-free options. Due to the fat being extracted, this powder has an exceptionally high protein content (48.5%) and is particularly suitable for athletes and those who lead an active lifestyle. It is also rich in essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6.

Hemp Seeds
De-hulled organic hemp seeds—the seed with the shell taken off—are ideal for sprinkling on pasta, salads, desserts, and rice dishes, or just for nibbling on their own. They’re also great in smoothies! Whole hemp seeds are great for making hemp seed milk. They can also be sprouted, or ground and used in flour recipes. A full amino acid spectrum in whole hemp seeds gives complete vegetable protein, while retaining the trace mineral content.

Herbal Teas
Herbal teas are a delicious way to relax. Include these great teas in your healthy food plan:

Dandelion leaf: An anti-rheumatic, diuretic tonic, dandelion leaf tea aids the healing of kidney and liver disorders. It is also a digestive aid and reduces blood pressure.

Green tea: Green tea has a long history in the Orient as a beneficial body cleanser. And while other plant-based antioxidants can interfere with iron or protein absorption, that problem does not occur with the antioxidant polyphenols found in green tea.

Nettle: Nettle tea tones and firms tissues, muscles, arteries and skin. It also helps curb the appetite, cleanses toxins from the body, and energizes.

Rose hip: Rose hip tea is an excellent source of vitamin C and also contains vitamins A, D and E, and flavinoids (antioxidants). It helps to prevent bladder infections and eases headaches and dizziness.

Yerba mate: Yerba mate tea cleanses the blood and decreases the appetite. In addition, it stimulates the mind, the respiratory system and the nervous system. One cup only per day to replace or substitute for coffee.

Kelp
Kelp is full of vitamins and minerals—especially calcium and valuable trace minerals. It aids digestion, soothes sore joints, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, expels radiation from the body, and nourishes the thyroid. Naturally salty, crispy, dark-green flakes of kelp are a natural salt substitute and are wonderful to crumble onto your salads, rice, vegetables, or in soups and stews. Or you can just snack on them. Yum!

Miso
Miso is a paste made from fermented soybeans and salt. It is rich in enzymes and healthy bacteria. Buy unpasteurized miso, available in the refrigerated section of most natural food stores. White miso, which is sweet and mild, lends a rich flavor to soups and sauces.

Raw Chocolate
Cacao is rich in magnesium; it is the number one source for it. It balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, and is associated with increased happiness. Other happy chemicals in cacao include anandamide, or “The Bliss Chemical,” and PEA or phenylethylamine, an adrenal-related chemical that is also created within the brain and released when we are in love. PEA plays a role in increasing focus and alertness, and decreasing fatigue (unlike the caffeine in coffee).

Cacao’s MAO inhibitors diminish appetite. So yes! It’s okay to eat chocolate. Just make sure it’s raw, dark, organic chocolate.

Raw Honey
Raw honey is pure, natural honey that has not been processed by heating. It is rich in enzymes.

Sea Vegetables
Sea vegetables are rich in minerals and vital trace minerals that we can barely find even in the richest organic soil.

Spirulina
Spirulina (a blue-green algae) is 65% protein—the highest source of protein found in any food. It contains all eight essential amino acids, so it’s a complete protein! Spirulina is an exceptional food and an incredible source of concentrated, non-toxic, absorbable nutrients. It’s a highly beneficial substitute for protein powders.

Sprouts
Sprouts are nuts, seeds, grains, or legumes that have been soaked, drained and left to germinate. Sprouts are rich in vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, protein, and amino acids.

Stevia
Stevia is a naturally sweet South American herb that contains no calories or carbohydrates and will not raise blood sugar levels.

Unrefined Salt
Unrefined salt is sun-dried salt, with its natural mineral content intact. I recommend Celtic sea salt and Himalayan crystal salt.

Wild Green Superfood
Wild Green Superfood boasts an incredible array of nutrient-dense, mineral-rich superfoods, including powdered vegetables, algae, and aquatic vegetables as well as a highly-advanced probiotic (friendly bacteria) formula.

It’s designed to be taken on a daily basis, especially during cleansing. Choose the formula that contains 100% raw, organic, and/or wild-crafted superfoods, probiotics, and a full digestive enzyme complex with no fillers.
