POST FESTIVE SEASON DETOX
Eating clean after the holiday season is a great way to kickstart healthy eating habits for the New Year!
It also helps your body recover from all the goodies, drinks, and delicious meals you’ve had.
Detoxifying helps you clean your system, speed up your metabolism, enhance your overall health, reduce your weight, remove excess sugar from your system and remove toxins from your body. Try to eat clean for at least one week.
8 DETOX TIPS TO FOLLOW THIS WEEK
- HYDRATE WELL
Increase your water intake to flush out all the toxins from your body. Dehydration exhausts you and affects your skin too.
- EAT FRESH FRUITS AND VEGGIES
Fresh fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals which are essential for your body to function efficiently. Fiber in fruits and veggies will help bring your digestive system back on track.
- NUTS AND SEEDS
Dry fruits and nuts are full of protein, minerals, healthy fats and antioxidants. Snacking on this helps prevent junk food snacking.
- EXERCISE
Start slow and steady with your exercise routine. Choose an exercise that best suits you. Choose a jog, cycling, gym workout, running or pilates to get back in shape.
- EAT PROBIOTICS
Probiotics are bacteria that are essential to maintain good gut health, and consuming them is one of the best ways to naturally restore gut health. Include foods like curd and kefir in your diet.
- AVOID ARTIFICIAL SUGARS
Sugars contain an abundance of empty calories. This is detrimental to the body, as you end up consuming a whole lot of fat boosting calories, which can cause weight gain and other problems.
- EAT LIGHT
It is beneficial to the body to counter the five days of heavy eating by a period of going easy on food.
- AVOID PROCESSED FOODS
Processed foods are loaded with fat, sugar, hydrogenated oils, salt, and a large number of calories. Stay away from them to cleanse your system.
