In today’s hectic schedules some of the most important aspects that relate to health in the long term usually take a back seat. Lack of sleep or exercise, nutritionally deficient diets, excessive alcohol, smoking are some of the factors that can build up toxins in the system and challenge the body’s performance in various ways.
With globalized health trends, food choices are evolving by the day. All of this comes at a cost; the cost of nutrients being swayed in the process of transit, the addition of preservatives, genetically modified produce and an all-season availability of fresh foods. In the bargain, we are knowingly or unknowingly loading our system with many chemical by-products, which need to be flushed out. Just like our body needs external cleansing, so is the internal cleansing crucial, for its most efficient functioning.
Many times we get used to general physiological symptoms like bloating, sluggishness, headaches, lack of energy, drowsiness, puffiness, acidity, and other gut-related problems. These are actually an aftermath of an internal toxic system. Adherence to a brief detoxification plan helps to alleviate these symptoms which can improve the health quotient in the longer run.
Detox programs can range from days to weeks depending upon individual needs. Detox plans can vary with the inclusion of detox water, herbal tea, raw food in your daily diet, or following an exclusive Detox plan.
Eat clean by including:
- detox water (by incorporating fruits and veggies)
- herbal teas (by incorporating herbs & Spices)
- whole, raw food like fruits and vegetables.
- antioxidant-rich food.
and excluding:
- processed and refined foods,
- foods high in sugar, salt, and fats,
- Alcohol.
These programs should be done when your days are lighter, as they are effective with a relaxed state of mind. Remember, these are not fad diets. Detox plans should be followed under professional advice and supervision. This will help restore the energy levels of the body and make a positive shift towards a healthier equilibrium.
A little thought and effort put into your diet will energize, refresh and recharge your health. It will give the much-needed kick to be on the right path towards your long-term wellness goals.
