For fat flush, one 1 small Cabbage, 1/4 cup green gram sprouts, 3-4 capsicum, 1 bunch celery, 5-6 tomatoes, 2-3 onion, pepper and salt to taste. Boil all together and have as soup. I know someone who has lost a lot of weight due to walking and of course the cabbage soup diet.

Refined anything is said to be not healthy and surprise of surprises, our everyday sugar is included in this. So, if we eat lot of refined sugar it will result in emotional imbalances (in those who have funny sweet cravings) and also may result in insulin resistance, etc.

So, instead of refined sugar, jaggery is a good alternative, although I wonder how you can have coffee with jaggery. In US, you get brown sugar, which is a not refined one and is a decent enough alternative for refined cane sugar. But then, of course, pal payasam is better when prepared with refined sugar.

Drinking 1 litre of warm water and then vomiting it out daily once in a week (this is called jaladriti I guess) will also help in removing toxins from liver and promote a healthy digestive system. Wait for 15-20 minutes before taking coffee and better to do the above before brushing the teeth.

High BP balance, I remember (rather vaguely) that fresh lauki juice is said to bring BP under control - again to be taken in the morning - grind the juice in a mixer and strain it - no sugar/anything else

Green juice

This one I have read from the book "Health in your hands" by Devendra Vora. Taking the juice of fresh green leaves (add some chukku, nellikkai and honey) will give abundant energy and the best thing is it will not make one put on weight.

Cabbage is good because of high fibre but if one is having thyroid problems, cabbage in daily diet is not recommended.

Alternatively, one can toss carrots/spring onions and sprouts in a little olive oil for a great salad!(don't forget to add in little salt.
