Among the recommended spices are: garlic, ginger, pepper, turmeric, rosemary, peppermint, mint, oregano, basil, turmeric and green tea.
    
6. Avoid the consumption of packaged products (doritos, package potatoes, hams, sausages, box juices, among others), as they contain high amounts of preservatives and fertilizers, which are extremely toxic to your body. It is preferable that you consume organic foods, that is, they have been grown naturally without fertilizers or pesticides, because in this way you avoid the consumption of transgenic foods.
