THE 5 DAY LYMPHATIC CLEANSE with LISA LEVITT GAINSLEY

DAY 3

 

You’re halfway there! It’s Day 3 of your Cleanse, Lymph Friends!

How are you feeling?! Day 3 is usually the day folks feel all sort of things. It can be the most challenging day, as your body might be feeling the effects of the detox now. Some of you might be hitting your stride and feeling wonderful and clear-headed. All these feelings are normal.

I recommend you write down how you feel, what you’ve been enjoying so far in this cleanse - especially any ideas that are coming to mind. I’ve found that when I eat clean, I get bursts of creativity- so take note of your thoughts/visions and desires!

WEDNESDAY

 
 

FIRST THING:

  • JOURNAL. Before you get out of bed, write in your journal! Keep track of how you’re feeling, your dreams and wishes.

  • Brush your teeth when you wake up in the morning. This will help remove plaque buildup.

  • Drink room temperature water (or warm water) with lemon. This will aid your digestion, support your lymphatic system in removing metabolic waste and help carry nutrients to your cells. Please continue to drink plenty of water throughout the day as it will help increase metabolism, lubricate your joints and is one of the building blocks to glowing skin! 

MORNING:

  • Drink The Liver Flush Drink You can refer back to Day 2 for the recipe.

    OR

  • A green juice. Today’s green juice recipe comes to you courtesy of Elissa Goodman. Elissa is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, cleanse expert and author of the book, Cancer Hacks. She’s a wealth of information on healthy eating, supplements, and nutrient dense, flavorful recipes. You can use either a juicer or a blender. I often use a blender, and Elissa is the one who taught me that when you use a blender you’re also consuming vegetable fiber (which is eliminated when you use a juicer). That fiber is super beneficial because your gut bacteria feeds on that fiber to produce short-chain fatty acids which helps your metabolism and curbs inflammation.


    RECIPE: Juice or blend 3 cups mixed greens, a handful of basil, juice from half a lime (lemon is ok too), 1-2” ginger, 20 ounces of water, (optional: add stevia) Blend smooth and enjoy!

MID AFTERNOON SNACK:

Cleansing Greens Pesto by Moon Canyon

This yummy pesto is great as as a dip with celery, cucumbers or carrots sticks, or atop a bowl of soup or salad. Or however you are called to enjoy it!

Ingredients:
2 cups fresh dandelion greens
1 cup cilantro
½ cup mint, parsley or basil
1 cup raw cashews or pine nuts
½ cup extra virgin olive oil with high polyphenol content
1 cup spring or filtered water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves fresh garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt (we like to use ​​alaea sea salt when cleansing due to its high clay content, useful for clearing intestinal plaque)

Preparation:
Wash and pat dry your greens and herbs. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender or a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve with chopped veggies such as celery, cucumber, carrots, jicama, etc.

Variations: If you have access to fresh nettle leaf, it is a great addition, either in combination with or in place of your dandelion greens (blanch first, to denature the stinging needles). Other wild spring greens commonly growing in abundance, such as chickweed or cleavers (both lymphatic tonics), can also be included. Let yourself be inspired by the medicine all around you! Make sure to harvest from areas free from spraying and always harvest with responsibility and reverence, making sure you have properly identified the plant, and collect only from well-established stands.

DINNER:

  • LENTIL and BROWN RICE SOUP by Pamela Salzman

    Ingredients:

    3 Tablespoons unrefined, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil

    3 large carrots, peeled and diced

    3 celery stalks, diced

    1 large onion, diced

    3 cloves garlic, minced

    1 pound fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped or 1 14.5-ounce can, drained (optional)

    8 cups turkey, vegetable stock or water

    2 cups French lentils, picked over and rinsed

    2 sprigs fresh thyme

    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    2 big handfuls spinach or chard (ribs removed), coarsely chopped in large pieces

    ½ cup brown rice, cooked according to package directions or add with lentils and increase liquid by an additional 1 cup

    Directions: 

    1. Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic and cook, stirring until tender. Stir in tomatoes and cook for a minute. Add stock, lentils, uncooked brown rice (if you’re adding it here), thyme and 2 teaspoons salt.

    2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.

    3. Pull out the thyme sprigs and discard. Add greens and stir until wilted.

    3. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you didn’t add raw brown rice with your lentils, add the cooked brown rice to the pot now or put a little in each bowl and ladle the soup on top.

LYMPHATIC SELF-MASSAGE

Continue doing the abdominal lymphatic self-massage video from yesterday. I like to massage my belly when I’m lying down, right before I go to sleep. This massage helps aids your digestion and reduce inflammation and bloating. Practice this massage each night during the cleanse.

 WATCH THE VIDEO 

GET PROPER SLEEP

Get off your screen early and get into bed with a cup of herbal tea and a good book. The Glymphatic system in your brain works with your CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) to clear out amyloid plaque when you’re asleep (the plaque that’s involved with Alzheimers, Parkinsons and other neuro-degenerative diseases). Getting proper rest is vital to your body’s cleansing function.

JOURNAL
Before you go to sleep write down how you felt today. What you liked about the day, and the routine. If there’s something you want to do differently tomorrow, write that down too.

Finally, write down a goal/ manifestation/ wish for this year.

 Xx,

Lisa
