Food diets to purify toxins in the body

Food habits: Food is a profound doorway into spiritual growth, because how you experience food is how you experience life. Aura cleansing can be done through a spiritual diet cleanse. Cleansing diets are designed to purify the body of accumulated toxins. As recommended by the Yoga guru Paramhans Yoganand, one can go for nine days of cleansing diet — where you should consume only fruits and vegetables for nine days. When the body flushes impurities, you might not feel at ease. Try to remember that the reason for taking a cleansing diet is enlivening your inner being. When you are on a diet cleansing mode, avoid watching television or movies, and try having minimal conversation with people.
