21-Day Superstar Cleanse: A Rejuvenating Lifestyle Program to Help You Feel Younger, Healthier and Ready to Rock the World!

Rainbeau Mars. Deeper Well, $24.95 trade paper (424p) ISBN 978-0-9857152-0-5

Actress health advocate Mars offers a detoxifying cleanse that combines a vegan diet with yoga poses and philosophy, journaling, affirmations and mantras, as well as other elements intended to promote rejuvenation of body, mind, and spirit. Mars, who has created her own hybrid yoga style called “ra’yoKa”—which combines traditional yoga poses with breath-centered flow, explosive martial arts movements, and core strength—takes readers through a 21-day cleanse to “rest, restore and reset.” In three main sections (organized week by week), the author provides daily suggestions for a morning “Dawn Glow Tonic,” breakfast, yoga pose of the day, lunch, self TLC (read an inspiring passage, practice conscious breathing), dinner, “Get Your Glow On” (dance or listen to music), and an evening “Dusk Glow Tonic.” Though the plan favors raw foods, Mars provides suggestions for beginner, intermediate, and advanced vegans and a variety of healthful recipes—75 in all. She also suggests beauty tips and techniques, such as a weekly Self-Care Day that includes a facial, colonic, yoga class, or relaxing bath. Mars’s gentle, non-judgmental tone will appeal to her audience and her reassuring voice and wealth of supportive activities and information will make her cleanse accessible for novices as well as those familiar with the practice.
