Top Detoxing Tips GENERAL DETOX TIPSIf you're embarking on a detox at home, here are some tips that might help: SLOWLY SLOWLY It is very important to slowly ease the body into and out of any detox program. Reintegrate foods slowly back into your life. Be aware how your body reacts to different foods when you do eat them again. CREATE A DETOX SHOPPING LIST Set aside the old pantry and stock the new - and shop now when you are not deprived so you're not tempted by 'naughty' treats. CLEAR YOUR SOCIAL CALENDAR Detoxing is a good time to tone down your social engagements to enjoy some quiet time for reflection. The process of detoxing also starts in the mind and requires self-discipline, so recognise that you will experience some symptoms - and be happy that you're having them. EARLY TO BED, EARLY TO RISE There's nothing better than establishing a good sleep pattern. Go to bed early and rise with the sun. WARM WATER LIVER CLEANSE Make your first morning drink a warm glass of water with a squeeze of half a lemon or lime. This gets your digestive juices going. MAKE MEAL-TIME SACRED During a detox you really gain an appreciation for how lucky we are to always have good food available. Focusing on your food and chewing more than usual helps aid digestion. HAVE QUIET TIME Detoxing can bring a lot of things to the surface, not just toxins, but old memories, unresolved experiences and unpleasant emotions. So give yourself some space, buy a book or start a journal. DAILY EXERCISE Do 45 minutes of exercise each day. Yoga, Pilates, swimming or brisk walking are ideal. FIND A MATE Partner up with someone. You may need each other's support if you are feeling low in energy, particularly in the first few days. Share recipes and experiences, support each other. DON'T OVERDO IT Above all, find a balanced, achievable program that combines daily exercise and changes to a healthy diet with regular, qualified supervision. Remember you are trying to set up healthy habits - not further stress your body with rapid, extreme and unsustainable change. REMEMBER Go into your detox with your eyes open. If you have any medical conditions always seek your GP’s advice before you start also is you have any doubts or queries. It needs commitment and research. Read any warning or help labels fully and make sure you are in the right frame of mind when you start. Doing it with someone, especially if you are attempting the Master Cleanse, is a good idea - a buddy system is incredibly helpful. Plan when to do your detox carefully, it's no good trying to get through a gruelling day at work on lemon water alone. |
