Elimination diets are used when a food allergy is suspected.   Typically an elimination diet removes potential allergens from a diet and then gradually add them back in.  To maintain adequate calorie intake in some individuals, a whey protein powder is used.

Lactose is a sugar that is found in milk and milk products.  When lactose intolerance is an issue, there are many good lactose free products available which can be substituted into the diet.  Usually people who are lactose intolerant can tolerate small amounts of lactose containing foods and fermented products like yogurt..

Economical Cleansing with Detox Teas

May 15th, 2009

Yogi Detox TeaYou don’t have to spend a lot of money to cleanse for health and detoxification. Teas are a delicious and gentle way to cleanse and detoxify the body. Yogi teas are organic herbal and green tea blends inspired by the ancient sciences of Ayurveda and Kundalini yoga.

Yogi Detox Tea is a unique blend of cleansing herbs and comes in regular or peach flavor. The peach tempers some of the spicier herbs, and the dandelion works to rid the body of excess water weight. I drank 1-3 cups per day until I used the whole box, and felt great! Detox tea has no harsh laxative herbs, so I didn’t have to plan my day around my cleanse! The bagged tea was easy and  economical. I had a really good experience with this tea.
