• Hydrate Well: Aim to drink at least 2 liters of water, herbal teas, or diluted fruit juices daily. Proper hydration helps soften waste, making the process more effective.
• Eat Light, Whole Foods: Focus on a diet rich in vegetables and fiber. Steam or lightly cook vegetables to make them easier to digest.
• Avoid Gas-Producing Foods: Minimize or eliminate beans, onions, cabbage, broccoli, carbonated drinks, and dairy products to reduce potential bloating during the session.
• Limit Processed Items: Avoid heavy, greasy, deep-fried, or highly processed foods, as well as alcohol and excessive caffeine.
Day of the Appointment
• Fast Beforehand: It is highly recommended to stop eating solid foods at least 3 hours prior to your session.
• Limit Fluids: Stop drinking large amounts of liquids about 1 hour before your appointment to avoid a full bladder during the treatment.
• Dress Comfortably: Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. You will be provided with a gown or cover for the procedure itself.
• Relax: Arriving in a relaxed state of mind helps the abdominal muscles stay soft, which facilitates a better cleansing process.
