Effective ways to detox after the Christmas binge
Nourish your body after the holidays; it's really not that hard!
There are many simple ways to detox after a Christmas feast.
Many of us associate the festive season with indulgent feasts, which often take a toll on us. Whether you’ve overindulged in wine or forgotten to count calories, we all want to regain our balance and spark, and a thoughtful detox can be key.
Here are five ways to detox after overindulging during Christmas:
1. Drink lots of water
This helps flush out toxins, rehydrates your system and improves digestion
2. Eat Fiver-rich foods
Focus more on your fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods. Include leafy greens, apples and oats in your meals to support gut health and reduce bloating
3. Sip on herbal teas
You can never go wrong on these as they help calm down your digestive system, reduce inflammation, heartburn burn and boost your metabolism
4. Do light exercise
Try walking for at least 30 minutes. Yoga and jogging may help you relax and unwind
5. Avoid processed foods and sugars
After overindulging, give your body a break from junk foods, sugars, and alcohol, and switch to whole, natural foods to help it recover
