Detox ideas for January 2012
Before you start your New Year diet, think about the effects that last year’s hectic lifestyle and bad diet have had on your body!
What you need is a detox to get rid of all those nasty toxins and get your body back in to top shape for the new year.
A detox can involve lots of different things so we’ve put together a collection of our favourite ways to detox and cleanse your body!
Visit a spaThere are lots of spa treatments available which with
help to detox your body.
Facials and body wraps will help cleanse your skin, making it much more healthier. Alternatively facilities like
stream rooms, saunas, hydro pools, and hot tubs will allow you to relax whilst detoxifying.
For the ultimate detox, turn your spa visit into a spa weekend away! This will allow you to take time out of your busy lifestyle and
benefit from a greater range of spa treatments.
Many hotels feature their own spa, so you won’t even have to leave the building! However, if you do plan on getting out for some
exercise, pick a hotel with an interesting location. The beautiful scenery around Edinburgh hotels will encourage you to take that
morning jog!
Relax with yogaYoga is a very popular form of exercise which is a form of
physical, mental, and spiritual discipline. It can be incorporated into your detox as a form of relaxation.
The goal of yoga, or of the person practicing yoga, is the attainment of a state of perfect spiritual insight and
tranquillity while meditating on Super soul.
If you have never tried yoga before, it is important to go to lessons so that you can
make sure you are completing the exercises properly.
This is an excellent choice of exercise for beginners to detoxing since it is not too
strenuous.
Drink lots of waterDrinking water is very important for detoxing. This is
because it helps flush out toxins in your body naturally.Not only this, but water helps maintain proper muscle tone and drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid
retention.
If your detox plan involves exercise then it is essential to make sure you are drinking enough water to keep your body
healthy. One sign of dehydration is a headache.
There are many debates about how much water we should drink per day.
Normally 2 litres per day is recommended, but it is more important
to drink when thirsty and not to drink excessive amounts.
Only eat health foodsBroccoli increases the amount of sulforaphane in the
body, which helps the liver get rid of potential substances that can be cancerous.
Lemons help clean the digestive tract and balance pH.
Green tea is known for being full of antioxidants and also helps liver function.
Pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are great for detoxing and snacking!
Omega-3 oils help allow toxins to be absorbed and eliminated in the body. You can find Omega-3 oils in
avocado, virgin olive oil or oily fish, like salmon.
