A Gentle 3-Day Reset to Reduce Inflammation
If you’ve been leaning on processed foods lately, you’re not alone. Life gets busy, and sometimes convenience wins. But our bodies are always asking for balance — especially after surgery, during detox, or while supporting recovery from breast implant illness.
As someone who has walked this healing path myself and now coaches other women on their recovery journey, I’ve found that a simple, natural reset can quickly restore energy, calm inflammation, and ease bloating.
Here’s a 3-day plan that’s gentle, effective, and deeply nourishing.
Celery Juice: The Healing Elixir
Start your morning with 24 oz of fresh celery juice — and if you can, enjoy a second glass later in the day. Celery juice is hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and helps flush toxins from your system. Many women notice that their stomach feels lighter and calmer just a few days after starting fresh Celery juice. It’s a powerful way to gently detox your liver and support digestion. You might notice more frequent and complete bowel movements — that wonderful sense of fully emptying your body each time you go to the bathroom. This happens because celery juice has a mild diuretic effect and a unique ability to bind to toxins and old undigested food that can sit in the large intestines, causing bloating and discomfort. By flushing these out, celery juice helps reduce that heavy, swollen feeling and brings a sense of lightness back to your belly.
🍚 Brown Rice + Squash: Your Comfort Bowl
In order to fully reset your body try avoiding animal protein for this 3 days period animal protein including chicke, fish and meat, gluten and any processed food. This will help with shifting your blood PH to alkaline and helping to increase the detox process.
Keep meals grounding yet easy to digest. Pair steamed short grains brown rice with squash (butternut, zucchini, or delicata). Squash adds natural sweetness and is soothing for digestion, while brown rice provides fiber and steady energy without spiking blood sugar.
🥬 Raw Veggie Salads with Olive Oil & Lemon
At least once a day, prepare a vibrant raw salad filled with leafy greens, cucumbers, kale, parsley, collard greens, carrots, and fresh herbs. Dress it simply with olive oil and lemon juice. Raw greens flood your body with enzymes, vitamins, and minerals to support healing and reduce puffiness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed leafy greens (romaine, spinach, arugula, or baby kale)
