Thinking about having a baby? Consider upgrading your diet to include more naturally cleansing foods such as whole fruits, leafy greens and raw veggies.

My journey toward motherhood over the past few months has been such a joy and a delight and I believe it has to do with the time I spent preparing my body for pregnancy.

Pre-pregnancy cleansing: How far in advance should you prepare your body?
Cleansing and natural health pioneers believe the key to an enjoyable and happy pregnancy relates largely to how you prepare your body for conception. Here are the three common tips they recommend when it comes to getting that bod ready for babies.
- The sooner the better. Cleansing gurus argue that the more time you have to rid the crud and gunk that may be stored up in your body, the better. These blockages from poor eating and over eating are believed to inhibit your get-me-pregnant ability. (Learn more about how to get started eating more clean, cleansing foods here). PS- abrasive home cleansing and detox products are not recommended.
- Give up the pill, ideally a year in advance, to allow enough time for the hormones to cycle out of your body.
- If you are already pregnant, cleansing gurus strongly advocate against a radical change in your diet and any and all juice fasts. The toxins stirred up by a juice fast for instance is too much for the little life you are nurturing! Cleansing gurus, however, do suggest gentle diet upgrades such as eating more fruits and veggies and hydrating raw salads. These are gentle, naturally cleansing foods.
