Offer our body a natural detox is a great way to start springEspecially if you feel that during the cold months you have been too lenient with yourself in terms of diet and exercise.
Below we explain our preferred methods to feel lighter and more energetic, without the need to carry out dangerous colon cleansing or restrictive juice-based diets that only get us in a bad mood.
Browse the market for asparagus, cherries, and artichokes. Eat these foods regularly in the spring along with other fruits and vegetables. Since they aid in digestion and promote healthy liver function, including highly nutritious foods in your diet will stimulate the body's natural detoxification process.
Reduce the consumption of processed foods (such as refined carbohydrates and sugar) and things that the body is often sensitive to (such as gluten or dairy products). This way, you will feel less bloated and more energetic. If possible, completely set aside sugar, gluten, alcohol, dairy, caffeine, soy, and red meat for a period of two to four weeks, then reintroduce the groups one by one to notice changes .
Drink a lot of water. Staying well hydrated is key to helping the body perform at its highest level. Purifying juices can also be beneficial, but only if they are included in a balanced diet. The so-called detox diets do not provide enough calories and nutrients to the body.
Exercise two or three times a week. It is a key aspect to stimulate the circulatory, digestive and lymphatic system. If you've cut back on calories during your natural detox period, make sure your training adapts to your new situation. Do not demand as much from your body as before, since it does not have fewer calories to respond. In any case, it is important not to stop moving, even if it is only 20 or 30 minutes a day at a gentle pace.
