1. Avoid junk (food) and chemicals and eat wholesome food that is organically grown when possible. Also take a break from the SNACCs—Sugar, Nicotine, Alcohol, Caffeine, and Chemicals.
—Dr. Elson Haas, Founder & director, Preventive Medical Center of Marin, Integrated Physician, and author of The New Detox Diet

2. Drink organic low-glycemic green juices for seven days.
—Dr. Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D.H, author of upcoming book Spiritual Fasting and founder of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center.

3. Start your day with a glass of warm water—on an empty stomach; it aids your body in releasing toxins.
—Teresa Long, Ayurvedic nutritionist at the Chopra Center

4. A weekly 24-hour fast (drinking 8–10 glasses of purified water) cleanses, renews, and rejuvenates! Our bodies have a naturalself-cleansing [mechanism] for maintaining a clean healthy body.
—Dr. Patricia Bragg, Author of the book The Miracles of Fasting and owner of Bragg Health Products & Books

5. You can give your gut a chance to refresh itself with a 2–3 day simple, easy-to-digest diet of fresh organic raw foods and juice, along with rest, mild exercise, and some time in the sauna. I recommend that my patients participate in this detox twice a year and maintain gut health in between by eating unprocessed organic food, avoiding antibiotics as much as possible, reducing sugar intake, and supplementing with a digestive enzyme to help with food break down and probiotics to help with assimilation of nutrients.
—Dr. Joseph Brasco, Gastroenterologist, author, and medical consultant for Garden of Life

6. Our skin is our largest organ in the body and is highly efficient at eliminating toxins. Daily dry brushing of your entire body before showering will help exfoliate excess dry skin and stimulate your lymphatic system to help in additional detoxing.
—Amy McDonald, VP of Living Spas, a company committed to offering green solutions for creating financial, environmental, and social sustainability to the hospitality industry.
