SUPPORTING YOUR BODY DURING A CLEANSE
Supporting Your Body During a Parasite Cleanse
Supporting your body during a parasite cleanse involves nourishing your system, staying hydrated, and allowing adequate time for rest and recovery.
Focus on consuming a balanced, nutrient-dense diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These foods supply essential nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber that support liver function and assist the body’s natural detoxification pathways. Prioritize foods such as leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
Staying well hydrated is equally important. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps flush waste products from the body through the bowels, kidneys, and skin. A general guideline is to drink approximately half your body weight in ounces of water daily, adjusting as needed based on activity level, climate, and individual health needs.
Adequate sleep plays a vital role in immune support and recovery. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow the body time to repair, regenerate, and eliminate metabolic waste accumulated during the day.
During a cleanse, it may be helpful to limit or avoid refined carbohydrates, added sugars, and dairy products, as these can contribute to inflammation and may interfere with digestive balance.
Some individuals choose to incorporate apple cider vinegar regularly as part of their routine, traditionally believed to support digestion and create an environment less favorable to parasites.
Other Foods That May Support Parasite Control
Pumpkin Seeds & Papaya Seeds
- Pumpkin seeds have cucurbitacin and other compounds that may paralyze parasites, making them easier for the body to eliminate. These seeds may help support the body’s natural processes in managing intestinal parasites. They work best taken on empty stomach in the morning or between meals for best absorption and effectiveness.
Garlic
· Garlic is good for helping prevent or deal with parasites because it contains natural compounds (like allicin) that can make it harder for parasites to survive and grow. It also supports your gut and immune system, which helps your body naturally fight off unwanted organisms. Eating raw or crushed garlic gives the strongest effect, but even cooked garlic can be helpful.
