Did you know you can boost your immune system and protect your body during flu season by eating certain ingredients or recipes? That's only one benefit! Here's more:
1. Improving overall health
2. Better sleep patterns
3. Lose weight
4. Decreasing mood swings by promoting balanced emotions
5. Improved energy
Detoxing can also be a great way to get your body back to a healthy neutral after eating a lot of bad food and drinks - perfect for after the holidays! Each of these benefits can be accomplished by performing different types of detoxes. We have given you some examples on how to detox below!
1. Fasting
2. Drinking only juices
3. Use herbs
4. Using dietary supplements
5. Changing your products out for a 100% natural deodorant that actually works! Our favorite is coco-van! 😉 See all options here.
While all of these may be options, we prefer to detox our bodies with only natural remedies and healthy eating!
When you decide it's time for a detox, be sure to rethink the food you are putting into your body - this means drinks too! You'll want to avoid foods that are high in:
- Sugar
- Over-processed additives like white flour
- Saturated fats or trans fats
- Preservatives
- Food dyes
On the other hand, you will want to go for healthier options, such as:
- Fruits and vegetables
- Lean proteins
- Bagged salads
- Roasted nuts
- Legumes
- Whole-grains
