Dr Dąbrowska's diet - what is it about? The rules of the vegetable and fruit diet

The vegetable and fruit diet of Dr. Dąbrowska is in facthealing fast , which is supposed to cleanse and strengthen the proper functioning of the body. After completing your detoxification treatment, you should go on a he althy diet based on vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes.

According to Dr. Ewa Dąbrowska, it is possible to restore the body's ability to heal itself, if we clean it thoroughly. And along with the accumulated deposits, you can also get rid of excess body fat. Vegetables and fruits are foods rich in natural antioxidants. They support repair processes and have a cleansing, healing and rejuvenating effect on all cells of our body. Dr. Ewa Dąbrowska's diet is low-calorie, and scientific research shows that reducing the energy of meals is an effective method of extending life,prevent cancer and other serious diseases.

Hunger is supposed to start internal digestion, the so-called endogenous, by discontinuing building and high-energy foods - proteins, fats, quickly absorbed carbohydrates. Thanks to this, the body gets rid of worthless deposits and degenerated tissues, because it uses them as a source of energy. And so, first it begins to digest excess body fat and unnecessary cells: diseased, damaged, mutated and those in which toxins and heavy metals are accumulated. In this way, we get rid of everything that interferes with the proper functioning of the body, and the natural mechanisms of self-healing begin to work.

According to Dr. Dąbrowska, as a result of a diet rich in processed and full of chemicals, the intestines become leaky and allow particles of digested food to pass, "clogging" the immune system, which ceases to recognize threats, especially those that develop over the years: atherosclerosis, cancer, joint degeneration. Vegetable and fruit therapy is therefore to seal the intestines thanks to the fact that its microflora changes.

The advantages of Dr. Dąbrowska's diet

This diet is not burdensome and does not require great discipline. Rather, it is not accompanied by unpleasant symptoms, such as constant sucking in the stomach, trembling hands, drowsiness. The necessity to crunch and chew for a long time in most raw and semi-raw products makes meals last a long time and we get the impression that we are constantly eating.
