8 rules for a healthy cleanse [slideshow]

#2 Plan Ahead

Most cleanses last from three to ten days. Your personal goals should determine the intensity of your regimen.

You can choose to start with a preparation phase, followed by a middle segment that is more intense, and wind your cleanse down by repeating the preparation phase.

However you plan your detox, the foundation of the program should always be a fresh, healthy diet that focuses on plenty of organic vegetables, either juiced, steamed or raw. Plan ahead and purchase the foods you’ll need so that you won’t have to spend your time grocery shopping.

It’s also helpful to start a journal of how you feel before the cleanse so you can compare notes when you’re done.
