Increase Your Liquid Intake
If there is one thing that can easily and naturally help you to detox your body, it’s definitely increasing your water intake. Proper water consumption can contribute to healthier skin, properly functioning organs, and a more effective metabolism, respiratory, circulatory, and digestive system.
At Clinique La Prairie, we also recommend you drink a herbal green tea after every meal, to keep your body hydrated and purified in a healthy and natural way, eliminate excess fluid and awaken your metabolism. When taken every day throughout the year, green tea can also slow down ageing and give your body new found energy, along with reducing the feeling of hunger.
Vitamin Rich Diet & Superfoods
Have a balanced diet rich in protein and vitamin. Your meals should always include vegetables, fruits rich in vitamins (orange/kiwi/lemon) with carrots (vitamin A) and cereals which are a source of Vitamin B.
Also, don’t forget to add superfoods in your daily diet, these are not just nutritious but also delicious in taste and are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids such as salmon, tuna, avocado, walnuts, almonds, olive oil, flax Seeds. You can also turn to other goodies like garlic, chia seeds and cacao powder, that have detoxifying properties.
Stick To Regimen
Avoid falling into quick fix diets or signing up to the gym only to quit a month later. What actually works is changing your long-term habits, so you need to eliminate the sources of toxins first such as soft drinks, canned food, gluten, and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. A good place to start is drinking juices or green smoothies for breakfast, and then gradually work up to eating raw salads for lunch or dinner. Raw foods act as tonics but are also high in nutrients and provide your body with large doses of vitamins and minerals.
Sleep Well
To recover your biological rhythm, always have dinner before sunset so that your metabolism is still active to digest the food. You should also wait for two to three hours before going to bed to avoid lying down with a full stomach. It’s also a good idea to spend a quick ten minutes doing some stretching. Then you could spend another five to ten minutes breathing deeply or meditating. Avoid caffeine and reduce your intake of liquids just before bed.
