The technique of the cult nutritionist Henri Chenot can be called a symbiosis of Europe and China, because it intricately intertwined the most advanced European developments in the field of studying the vital activity of the body and the ancient teachings of Chinese medicine about its energy channels (they say that they are inside a person).

Detox by Henri Chenot

This is the name of the treatment method in the clinic of Dr. Chenot in the Italian town of Merano. It includes:

• strict diet (banned meat, milk, coffee, alcohol);
• massage of energy points;
• spa treatments;
• sharko shower;
• complete rest.

The course is designed for 7 days, is developed individually for each patient and costs from 2 thousand euros. Although Mr. Chenot himself does not consider his clinic a business and fundamentally does not “clone” it across countries and continents (probably at such prices, even one clinic is enough for caviar and hazel grouse). There are, however, several spas open under his name, but they do not provide medical services. The “dietetic guru” believes that an effective technique can only be in Merano, because this is a place with a special energy, great air and peaceful, unusually beautiful landscapes (or maybe he’s just too lazy to travel).

The goal of the Henri Chenot method is not to lose weight, but to completely cleanse the body of toxins and toxins accumulated due to an unhealthy lifestyle and thoughtless diet. Signs of a solid collection of this harmful ballast are malfunctions of the digestive system, tingling in the left or right side, skin rashes, fatigue, psychological depression, and much more (I'm sure many have recognized themselves in these signs).

All patients of the Palace Merano clinic undergo a mandatory test on special equipment, which measures the voltage value at bioenergy points. This allows you to diagnose the body, find problem areas and draw up a recovery plan. Although all these bioenergetic points are such controversial matters that it may well turn out that in fact a man just comes, smartly attaches a dozen electrodes to the body, stares thoughtfully at an empty screen, sighs and from time to time clicks in French, then fills form and leave. And the patient directly “feels” how he was pierced through the entire “aura” with the latest equipment. The main thing is to pick up a man with a confidence-inspiring look and smart non-greedy eyes.

A daily procedure in the detox process is hydrofangotherapy, which includes:

• taking a hot tub with special solutions;
• wraps with therapeutic mud;
• Charcot shower.

Of great importance in the Chenot method is the massage of energy points. True, as patients admit, this is a very painful procedure. However, after it, the state of health noticeably improves, at least it should. Although who saw them, these dots?

Hydrocolonotherapy (deep bowel cleansing) is also prescribed for almost all patients of the clinic. The occupation is unpleasant, but after it the digestive tract begins to work like clockwork.

Well, no less important component is a detox diet, very tough, consisting of small portions of vegetable and fruit dishes, a large number of various herbal teas.

Farewell, prosciutto and jamon!

This is what most people who have undergone a detox with Henri Chenot say. At parting, each patient is given recommendations on the diet, which he should adhere to so that the kilograms lost after cleansing the body do not return. And even if you can't afford to go to Merano for 2,000 euros, then Dr. Chenot's advice on nutrition works in Russia too.

Dr. Chenot never tires of explaining to his patients how important it is what and when they eat. Fruit, for example, he recommends eating before the main meal, and not after it. The fact is that they are absorbed quickly, giving the body energy, but if fruits are put “in line” after the main food, then they begin to ferment and add toxins.

The famous nutritionist rejects the generally accepted postulate that breakfast must be dense. As a result of many years of research, he found that in the morning the human body is tuned to get rid of toxins, so there is no need to load it with "long-playing" food. The assimilation phase begins to work optimally already in the afternoon, then you can have a bite to eat, but without much fanaticism.

At night, the body should not be loaded with food either, because after 20 hours it again seeks to detoxify and restore, says Dr. Chenot.

The famous nutritionist recommends parting with coffee. If such a sacrifice is beyond human strength, then it should be drunk once a day, after meals. It should be a strong espresso, and even better - a ristretto (the same espresso, but brewed in a smaller volume of water. It is consumed, as Toto Cutugno sings, "italiano vero" - true Italians). Dr. Chenot categorically does not recommend drinking coffee with milk, he says that it is this product in undigested form that is found during autopsy of the stomach. These two components are so incompatible!

And in general, milk, due to poor absorption of lactose, should also be excluded from the diet. Monsieur Henri believes that it is necessary for a person only in infancy, for an adult, milk is “not useful at all, and especially for the condition of the teeth.”

Therefore, the ideal breakfast, according to his teachings, is fruits and. Mr. Chenot recommends sticking to something like this menu:

• 6 hours - first breakfast: fruits and herbal tea;
• 11 o'clock - second breakfast: also a small amount of fruit;
• 13:00 - lunch: lean meat, raw vegetable salad, whole grain bread;
• 17:00 - fruit lunch;
• 19 hours - dinner: vegetable soup, stewed vegetables.

You can, of course, sometimes arrange a "holiday of the stomach", but not more than once a week, so as not to harm yourself.

1. First of all, you need to accustom the body to "slow" carbohydrates, so you should increase the amount of various cereals in your diet.
2. It is better not to eat confectionery at all, reduce sugar to a minimum, replace salt with spices and spices, which are known to improve metabolism.
3. For lunch, give preference to raw vegetables, and for dinner - boiled and stewed.
4. Every 7 years, the metabolism in the human body changes, therefore it is necessary to review your diet and not only throw out the most unhealthy from it, but also reduce the overall amount of food you eat. “We do not get younger with age,” emphasizes Dr. Chenot.

But no matter what, you need to set yourself up for positive, learn to rejoice and live in harmony with the world around you.

Henri Chenot, whose clinic in Merano was once visited by all members of the Fendi clan, the Princess of Monaco, the Emir of Qatar, Luciano Pavarotti and an impressive part of the business elite of the world, the author of his own method of genetic typology of people according to the condition of the skin and the science of biontology that studies psychophysical factors of aging, hit "Brasserie Bridge".

You and I need to choose something.

We are having breakfast? He looks doubtfully at his watch. - Then everything is simple. Fruits and green tea.

And all?

In the morning, the body is tuned to eliminate toxins, and there is no need to overload it with food that requires long-term digestion. Assimilation is another phase, it comes after 12 days.

What does your meal plan look like?

Do fruits really give you, a grown man, enough energy to work all day?

At 6 a.m. I have fruit for breakfast, lunch at 1 p.m. and dinner at 8 p.m. And at 11 am and 5 pm I eat some more fruit.

What do you call energy?

Strength to work, for example.

Look, a person always lives at a temperature of 37 degrees. And the most important thing is to maintain this energy level. Eating is what should contribute to the production of energy. But overeating leads to the opposite result - to its sharp drop.

Okay, let's take a concrete example. Here I work mainly with my head, I sit still all day. What do you recommend I take for breakfast?

Fruits and green tea, - Dr. Henri Chenot calmly shrugs his shoulders.

Is this a generic recipe?

Of course. True, it is now almost noon and you can eat something more substantial. What do you usually eat for breakfast?

Depends on the time of year. In the summer I often just drink coffee with milk.

With milk?! Not to the table, of course, it will be said, but do you know what is found in the stomach during the autopsy of corpses? Undigested coffee with milk! These are two completely incompatible products. Coffee in general is not healthy, but if you really drink, then only espresso, but better ristretto. And only after eating.

What about americano?

No, this is American decadence. The coffee should be strong and there should be little of it.

Okay, I'll have an espresso. What to eat? Maybe porridge?

Cereals for breakfast - so-so idea. They are best eaten for lunch. In general, it makes sense to start eating right with getting used to slow carbohydrates. Do you love ham? Then take pancakes with cheese, eggs and ham. Just ask for it to be made without cheese. And a seasonal fruit salad. They don't have salmon? Then I will also take a fruit salad and pancakes with salmon and spinach. Although the combination, of course, is very strange.

There was only one seasonal fruit salad left. Dr. Chenot graciously gives it to me and asks for apple juice. The waiter kindly asks in what order to carry the dishes and drinks, and leaves. True, he will forget about fresh, but, fortunately, we will also forget about him.

And what about yoghurts?

Here you need to be careful with lactose intolerance. Of course, this is an individual question, and everyone has their own personal intolerance to specific products, but in the modern world, most people find it is lactose intolerance.

But why? After all, milk is the most natural of all foods.

First, this is not entirely true. Now many women, at least in Europe, do not breastfeed due to the fact that they work. And in general, there is no tragedy in this - the child needs exactly three months to develop his own immunity. And only at this moment of life milk is a necessary element. It's useless for an adult. On the contrary, it is absolutely useless. Especially for teeth.

That is, it also makes sense to refuse yoghurts?

You can choose lactose-free yoghurts.

What about baking?

Give me a piece of paper. Look here. There is a constant level of sugar in the blood. So I ate a cake, and my sugar level jumped sharply. And then he fell rapidly. And so the whole day. Within a month of such a life, deviations will begin in me, and it is a matter of time when they become irreversible. The most important thing here is to understand that the request for a cake, Coca-Cola and other fast carbohydrates is sent by the brain. And yes, the body needs sweets, but this does not mean at all that we are talking about Coca-Cola and croissants. You just need to teach your brain to send the right commands and respond to them correctly.

And how to achieve this? The power of thought and auto-training?

Awareness is necessary, of course, but the most important thing is to chew thoroughly. If you don't chew, your brain doesn't have the time or ability to identify what you're eating.

Technically, everything is clear. But how do you force yourself to change your habits? You know that changing them is extremely difficult.

I know that in order to change habits, you just need to have a goal to change them. By the way, this is very important for you. You are a red type. Accordingly, you have a weak area - the large intestine. If you don't chew your food thoroughly, you'll start to swell.

And how did you understand that I am a red type?

I've been looking at people for 41 years, what do you want?

According to the typology of Henri Chenot, based on the Chinese medical theory of the five elements, people are divided into five types.

Why did you even start dieting? This is perhaps not the most masculine profession.

I grew up in a peasant family. During the war, the Francoists killed 80% of my family just because they were Catalans and I was raised by my grandfather. Since I was the eldest of the grandchildren, I had to inherit the household. Therefore, when I graduated from elementary school, my grandfather thought that education was enough for me - it was time to go to the field. But I continued to study. Grandfather was unhappy, so I told him: “Okay, all the holidays I will work for you. But you will pay me for it. This is how we lived. And after college, I went to serve in Algeria and there I finally realized that my passion is biology. I was especially interested in marine biology. Then I came back and got a higher education.

And one day I saw an advertisement for a lecture on bioaesthetics on the door of my mother's hairdresser and decided to stop by. At the end of the lecture, I stood up and smashed the lecturer to smithereens. The next day, the organizer called me and said that now everyone wants to listen to my lectures. I refused and said that I did not give any lectures, and then agreed - after all, I needed a job, and he was ready to pay me. And I started lecturing. Then he began to produce phytocosmetics and opened a clinic in Cannes that specialized in preventive medicine. And one morning I woke up and fainted. I woke up in a hospital in Paris. “You are exhausted. You need to rest,” the doctor told me. And when I realized that I would not agree of my own free will, I just put it on the plane and sent it to Sardinia. I spent two weeks there, thought hard and realized that it was time to give it all up.

Why?

Because I did not go my own way and lived through strength. And if he had continued in the same spirit, he would not have lasted long. I was lost and did not really understand what was next. And then I stopped by one of his patients, the publisher of Rizzoli, a large Italian publishing house, and he casually asked me why the hell I didn’t write books for him. And I sat down to write my first book, The Energy Diet.

So where did the interest in dietetics come from?

Food is a basic necessity. Without food, you will die. And, almost dying from overwork, I very keenly felt the line between life and death. Except that from preventive medicine, I decided to move deeper - to preventive health care. And here the main levers are the quality of food and air quality. This is how Palace Merano and Espace Henri Chenot were born.

You are called the guru of nutrition. What is the secret of your method's popularity?

The method will not help anyone if mediocre people deal with it. I have been in the clinic for 40 years. And among my employees there are a lot of people who have been with me for all these 40 years. And the clinic has a school where we train employees. Have you never been with us? - suddenly Dr. Chenot is strictly interested.

So come!

The Henri Chenot method consists in combining a special diet that completely excludes meat, milk, eggs, alcohol, coffee, with a massage of energy points and meridians, spa treatments, a Charcot shower and a blissful, contemplative solitude in the picturesque Italian wilderness.

At the same time, Dr. Chenot fundamentally does not consider the clinic a business. Moreover, he deliberately does not open branches around the world (there are several spas opened under the Chenot brand, but they do not provide medical services), maintaining the status of the one and only for Palace Merano. Logics? The main thing in working with the Henri Chenot method is the human resource.

I'm not ready. I eat hamburgers, drink wine and smoke. I'll go crazy there.

It is the matter of time. I smoked too. Two packs of Gitanes a day.

And how did they quit?

Very simple. I said to myself: "That's enough, you won't smoke anymore." I was 35, and I knew perfectly well that it would only get worse. But in Palace Merano, by the way, we even have a smoking room.

And what about alcohol?

One bottle? This is an occasion to think about what your problems really are. Moreover, it is hardly about some material things, it is always about emotions. And if we are talking about a glass of red - why not? This is useful. I myself am a big connoisseur of wines and consistently drink a glass of wine a day. But I never drink with food. Because mixing wine and food is wrong. You stop chewing and start swallowing food. Therefore, when people drink at dinner, eating becomes an attempt to swallow more.

Maybe they drink just for fun?

Pleasure is a delicacy. It can be felt only by savoring wine. Then the drinking starts.

Your diet consists of continuous restrictions.

No, I just know exactly what I want. And I don’t drown out emotions and other non-nutritional needs with food.

It turns out that your method is something like psychotherapy, except that it is centered around nutrition.

I wouldn't say so. I studied psychotherapy, but I don't really trust it. In addition to the fact that people need to be listened to, they also need to be helped. I have a theory that basically we are all perfect. And in order not to forget about it, every morning I get up, go to the mirror and give myself 10 out of 10. And in the evening I sum up the day, remembering what I did during the day, and deduct points for mistakes.

And what are you filming for?

For selfishness, for lack of patience. Yes, you never know what else. You know, - Dr. Chenot philosophically remarks, - there is one rule. Not a thousand, but just one. We all live on Earth, which means that we all inevitably obey its laws - in particular, the rhythm of the day. And the aging process - over the years, all body functions slow down. At 35, a decrease in active vital functions begins, and primarily digestive. If I ate the same food at 71 as I did at 20, I wouldn't stand a chance.

What did you eat at 20?

After the lyceum, I moved from Toulouse to Paris. It was there that I spent my wildest years. Johnny Hallyday and I are the same age, and we had one youth for two. Since the French are real racists, we never liked French food and went mostly to Catalan or Toulouse restaurants. And these are basically all sorts of cassoulet dishes (meat stew with beans) and a lot of wine.

And when did the years of happy madness end?

I was giving a course of lectures in Italy, and on one of them a girl sat down opposite me. Said my friend asked me to say hi. I invited her to dinner, and after three hours I realized that I was not at all ready to part with her. That's how it all ended. And another life began, which has been going on for 35 years.

They bring food.

Problems with the gallbladder, - throwing an absent-minded glance after the departing waiter, Dr. Chenot notices and enthusiastically tries the pancakes. - Oversalted. And strongly.

Maybe the salmon is too salty?

No, there is practically no salmon here at all, - he shrugs his shoulders imperturbably. - The pancakes are not baked inside, but the edges are dry, like cardboard. Of course, this is not to say that it is disgusting, but it could be much better.

Do you like to cook yourself?

No, the kitchen is my wife's diocese (Dominic is in charge of the menu at Palace Merano). I can cook spaghetti or risotto, but in general I am not drawn to the development of this territory. But I really like to go to the market. I like the delicacy of the process - the choice of fish, vegetables, fruits.

What else do you enjoy in life?

Perhaps the greatest pleasure I get from work. And not only in the clinic. I write a lot - articles, books. And from my family. Dominique and I have two children. My son lives in San Francisco. Nicolas is very rational and to some extent followed in my footsteps - he is engaged in cosmetics, bioadditives and opened his spa chain. True, without treatment centers. And Caroline is an artist, she lives in Lugano. And by the way, raving about Moscow. Four years ago, she even came here for a year to learn Russian.

Do you like Moscow?

Yes, it has always interested me from a cultural point of view. And now 30% of my clients are Russians. For the first time I was in Moscow 30 years ago, when there was only one hotel for foreigners - Rossiya. We arrived with Dominique and at that time were not yet officially married. We went to the Tretyakov Gallery and arrived at the hotel. The duty officer looked at our passports and asked sternly: “Are you not married? Then I can't put you in the same room." So I discovered Moscow for myself.

Do you travel a lot in general?

I'm tired. I have traveled a lot and now I enjoy my home in Merano much more. However, recently I was in Istanbul, and I really liked it. In general, I love Thailand and go there every year.

What do you think about this place?

They are tailored to the interests of the client. This is a plus. But their food is weak. This is a big minus.

Would you return here?

To eat? No. To have a cup of coffee - why not? In fact, the only restaurant in Moscow that I like is La Marée. They always have very fresh food. By the way, its owner Medi Duss, my friend and client, recently opened another one in Monaco, a southern province of Russia. I highly recommend.

Permanent author of "BUSINESS Online", Dr. Alexander Ivanov, continues the conversation about popular systems for restoring and maintaining health. Earlier, he analyzed the program for the prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels by the American cardiologist Ornish, spoke about the "anti-cancer plate" of Dr. Servan-Schreiber and the body cleansing system of Dr. Mayer. In his new article, Ivanov introduces readers to another well-known European system for healing the body - the bioontology of Dr. Henri Chenot.

Full sleep, writes Henri Chenot, is the main doctor for the body Photo: video freeze frame

ABOUT DR. HENRI CHENOT

Henri Chenot was born in 1943 in Toulouse. As a child, he was fond of anthropology, biology, which predetermined his path. After graduating from college, he leaves for Algeria, where he studies psychology and naturopathy, and then goes to university and receives a doctorate in psychology. But Chenault doesn't stop there and studies dietetics and Chinese traditional medicine. In 1999, Henri creates a new direction in psychology, bioontology, the essence of which is a holistic approach to the human body. Bioontology is based on the prevention of diseases through nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. The doctor opens the now world-famous PalaceMerano clinic (Italy), where he conducts his wellness program EspaceHenriChenot. Chenot is the author of several health books: Sources of Health (1998), The Secret Code of Health (2005), Every Minute of Life (2006), Detox: Healthier, Younger, Slimmer (2011).

CHENAULT METHOD

The Chenot method is the result of half a century of experience and research in the field of health preservation, a unique combination of procedures and diet aimed at detoxifying the body and prolonging active longevity. Treatments are based on traditional Chinese medicine. The program is based on the stimulation of three important biological processes in the body: the neutralization and elimination of toxins, the absorption of nutrients and the restoration of tissues and cells.

The Chenot program is designed for a seven-day stay and includes a diet with a restriction of meat, milk, eggs, coffee and alcohol, effects on energy points and meridians, thalassotherapy, peace and moderate exercise.

I note that the Chenot method was very fond of famous Russian artists, businessmen and politicians.

HEALING SLEEP

Full sleep, Chenot writes, is the main doctor for the body: during sleep, detoxification occurs - the neutralization and elimination of toxins. You need to go to bed as early as possible, since the sleep hormone - melatonin - begins to be produced after 20:00. Bright lights and sounds, such as those from gadgets, can interfere with this process and lead to insomnia.

DIET OF DR. CHENAULT

After waking up, the doctor recommends a light breakfast of fruits and green tea. He advises eating foods rich in carbohydrates no earlier than noon, when, for example, you can eat boiled brown rice with raw vegetables. Dinner is better not very late and not very crowded. For example, boiled fish fillets combined with boiled vegetables. Also, the diet should be supplemented with omega-3 from fish oil, magnesium, calcium and prebiotics to improve digestion.

Chenot pays great attention to the compatibility of products. He does not recommend mixing certain products. For example, berries and fruits should be consumed separately from everything and preferably in the morning, the doctor says, and animal protein (meat, fish, eggs, dairy products) cannot be combined with cereals, it is better to use them with vegetables and herbs.

Chenault also believes that the combination of coffee with milk is very harmful to the body. He recommends giving up coffee altogether, and if that doesn't work, drinking it separately from everything, but no more than one cup a day.

In his nutrition system, Chenot divides foods into "acidifying" and "alkalinizing." He believes that an excess of so-called "acidifying" foods leads to inflammation and disease. For example, excess red meat, alcohol, refined carbohydrates. "Alkaline" products, on the contrary, neutralize the action of acids and prolong life. Chenot includes vegetables (except potatoes), greens, most fruits and berries, as well as some cereals as "alkaline" products. In human nutrition, Chenot writes, it is important to adhere to the acid-base balance, all products must be present, but in the correct ratio and combination.

NO enemas or laxatives!

Using laxatives to cleanse the body is undesirable, Chenot says, it is better to drink a glass of warm water. He also did not use traditional cleansing enemas and hydrocolonotherapy to cleanse the body. However, sometimes in the Chenot clinic they can give for a single application "magnesium milk", a white crystalline powder - magnesium chloride, which is a mild saline laxative and can accelerate bowel cleansing.

SUN, AIR AND WATER ARE OUR BEST FRIENDS

Chenot attaches great importance to the influence of climate, walks in the fresh air and a positive emotional mood in the recovery. To restore health, says Chenot, it is very important to be outdoors often, read good books and listen to pleasant music. In the Chenot clinic, a lot of time is spent on walks, fortunately in a picturesque place in Italy, where the center itself is located, there are many beautiful places and mountain landscapes.

Dr. Chenot encourages his patients to exercise daily for at least 30 minutes. As the doctor himself says, exhausting workouts are not needed, it is very important to exercise with pleasure. For an effective detox, the right attitude, positive mood and the desire for harmony with the outside world are important.

Personal site

For more than 40 years, Dr. Henri Chenot, the creator of a new direction in the SPA industry - biontology, has been a cult figure. Biontology Henri Chenot helps to solve modern problems such as excess weight, stress and premature aging. The program involves not only improving the physical condition of the body, but also leads to the harmony of the body, soul and emotions, as the motto of the Chenot Center says: “Les sources de la sante”.

Dr. Chenot's method is based on ancient Chinese knowledge about the connection of the energy channels of the human body with certain internal organs. And the concept of "biontology" reveals the concept of health, an important point of which is, among other things, the importance of the aesthetic shape of the body, the need for timely investments in one's own health - not only in the physical, but also in the mental.

According to Dr. Chenot, the aging process is directly related to the slagging of the body. The toxins that we have accumulated over the years are due to an unbalanced diet, the influence of environmental factors and lifestyle, which leads to energy and functional imbalance. Therefore, the process of restoring health should begin with cleansing the body.

The course of treatment according to the Henri Chenot method is selected strictly individually. Based on preliminary medical examinations, the patient is recommended a proper detox diet, bioenergetic treatments, hydrotherapy, draining massages and a special fitness program.

Mandatory medical examination includes, among other things, the determination of body weight, hormonal balance, the level of intoxication of the body, the degree of efficiency of vital functions of the body and energy circulation, the detection of food intolerance, the measurement of the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The next stage of recovery according to the Henri Chenot method is energy massage aimed at toning tissues and draining body fluids. Drainage massage is often performed using glass jars. Also in this procedure, mixtures of essential oils and infusions are used, selected to stimulate the work of cells.

Considering the knowledge accumulated over the centuries Chinese medicine about the energy meridians of the body, and, according to the law of the 5 elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water), Dr. Chenot uses his own technique to activate individual energy points, remove toxins that prevent the free flow of energy.

Another important course in the healing method of Henri Chenot is hydrotherapy, contributing to the restoration of the correct circulation of fluids in the body.

In addition, a fitness program under the supervision of a personal trainer, which is strictly individualized, has become an obligatory step in the treatment according to the Chenot method. The program may include hiking, cycling and catamaran.

The most important thing in the Chenot method is that after the course of treatment, a stable result of excellent well-being persists for many years. This is due to the fact that at the end of the course, clients receive a dietary program developed individually for the rest of the time, as well as recommendations for maintaining health.

Over one year old

Ten detox rules that help prepare the body for the upcoming cleansing, cleanse itself of toxins, and smoothly and painlessly exit the detox program.

American professor Susan Silberstein and French nutritionist Henri Chenot advise to master the self-purification of the body from various harmful and toxic substances, follow the ten basic rules of detox.

1. Increase your sleep time

Change your daily routine. Henri Chenot primarily pays attention to sleep. Try to go to bed as early as possible, sacrificing even your favorite late-night TV shows for a good night's sleep. Thus, normal sleep will be restored. After all, when conducting a detox program, additional rest is simply necessary.

2. Take care of your digestion

Before going to bed, you need to drink a glass of hot water, following the advice of Henri Chenot. The French nutritionist's book contains many useful tips, one of which is: in no case, if you do not want digestive problems, do not use laxatives during detox. If, nevertheless, there is a need to regulate bowel activity, then instead of a laxative, it is better to use a remedy prepared according to the following recipe: take fresh flaxseed, bran, black molasses and oats (two tablespoons each), some raisins, figs and a glass of distilled water. Mix thoroughly. If desired, you can add honey and use it in any form: both cold and hot.

3. Balance your diet

In order for your body to cope with any infections, easily absorb calcium and magnesium, it is necessary that you receive daily polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin C and probiotics in sufficient quantities. Vitamin C - not less, 2 g, amino acids - approximately as much as is contained in 4 capsules of fish oil. You can take special effective drugs that contain natural bacteria. But foods rich in probiotics will also restore and balance the microflora in your body. Well, you can fight free radicals by taking antioxidants.

4. Make the right detox menu

According to Henri Chenot, the detox lasts 3 days. And every day, your menu should be based on grains and fiber-containing vegetables, as well as onions and, of course, garlic.

On an empty stomach every morning you need to drink a glass of cold or hot water acidified with lemon. And to feel better, you need to drink it in the fresh air. Going to bed, do not forget to repeat this "ritual". But you can also add a spoonful of honey to cold water with lemon. And, as Henri Chenot says, let the simplicity of the world bring you true pleasure. Remember to relax and "rest" yourself throughout the day - 30-40 minutes - after the detox or during. Enjoy the time allotted for relaxation: read or walk while listening to music.

5. Get in the right mood for a detox

Wake up, smile at the sun and the new day, and let them into your home. Open the curtains on the windows as you should, stretch, warm up, and only after that go to the kitchen.

Remember, at the heart of detox success is a good mood. It is important to cleanse not only your body, but also your mind, and for a successful cleanse, you need to make a number of specific commitments. Only you can change your attitude towards life. Dare!

6. Enjoy spa treatments

If there is an opportunity to take a day off - take it, indulge in spa treatments for detox and relaxation, and you can get tremendous pleasure from the process. In the morning, before starting a detox program, mix sesame oil with a sea salt scrub and cleanse your body with this mixture. And then wash it off, preferably with soap and water, with olive oil additives.

7. Drink a detox shake

The book "DETOX" by Henri Chenot draws attention to the fact that a proper detox program is impossible without a special cleansing cocktail.

Recipe for a cleansing detox cocktail. Mix carrot and beetroot juice in a blender (300 and 100 ml, respectively), add a mixture of mashed cabbage - cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, regular and broccoli - 60 ml, chopped barley sprouts - 3 teaspoons and four cloves of garlic. The prepared mixture can be kept in the refrigerator, and drink it every two to three hours, two hundred to three hundred grams for three days.

Thanks to this cocktail, your body will be cleansed of toxins and toxins. Heed the advice of doctors who advise you to remove coffee from your diet during the detox. After all, caffeine can provoke muscle spasms and headaches.

8. Stay on the Right Course

After going through difficulties and trials, return to your usual diet smoothly. And every day, follow the following principles: drink plenty of water, take plenty of time to relax and recover, limit the use of alcoholic and carbonated drinks, eat plenty of fresh vegetables, reduce fatty foods and sugary foods in your diet.

9. Schedule your detox

A three-day detox program is carried out no more than once a month. Returning to the usual rhythm of life, you will definitely experience a surge of energy, inspiration and a desire to follow a healthy way of eating and doing breathing exercises.

10. Don't overdo it

The key word for detox, Henri Chenot notes, is "moderation." By following the “everything in moderation” principle, you will have a positive three-day experience during the cleansing that will naturally lead you to a healthy lifestyle for many years to come.

When you do a detox, you will most likely feel great. But sometimes the detox does not pass without side effects - there are sensations similar to the body's reaction to toxicity or poisoning. Possible side effects include vomiting, muscle spasm, headache, frequent urination, diarrhea, cough, chills, and irritability.

When leaving a detox program, strictly control your diet. Products are best boiled or steamed or grilled. And let watermelons, artichokes and cucumbers be mandatory components in your menu.
