After a long and unhealthy Xmas

let’s get the detoxing going.

—

Hi all,

We hope that you all had a cosy Christmas holiday together with your friends and family. We know that having a good time for Christmas also involves a lot of snacking, eating and drinking. For this reason we have created an ultimate guide for you on how to detox your body so you can start of the new year well.

Detoxing is about cleaning your body from the toxins that everyone encounters through food, creams, materials, and pollution - actually just from being present. And after a season of eating detox can especially be a necessity. Did you know that your body has its own detoxing system? Crazy, right? Actually, the best way to detox your body is by enhancing your body’s natural detoxification system and improve your overall health by being more aware of what is good for your body such as staying hydrated, consuming less salt, getting active, and following an antioxidant-rich diet. There are multiple ways in which you can carry it out, so let’s have a look at some of our favorites.

Psst.. we promise you that your body will love you for this <3

JUICE IT UP

Start off your day with a green juice before you eat your breakfast. In this way, the nutrients will be absorbed better because your stomach will be empty and ready for a green kick. The impeccable Green Juice is our go-to juice because it is both full of beneficial vitamins and easy to make. You just have to mix together one cucumber, one head of a celery, a handful of parsley, one apple, a lemon, and some fresh ginger, and voilà! just like that, you have made a nutritious green juice.

CUT OUT THE COFFEE

Let’s start of the new year by drinking less coffee compared to the previous year. In this way, you will encounter a detoxing effect with different health benefits such as a better sleep, healthier and whiter teeth, less anxiety, balanced hormones, a lower blood pressure. Start by cutting down on one cup of coffee - it will do your body good and help the body restore back to a more natural energy balance.

A GLASS OF LUKEWARM LEMON WATER

A glass of lukewarm lemon water will keep the doctor away - or not literally but almost. To treat yourself with a glass of lukewarm water is among one of the best things you can do for your body. Undoubtedly, your immune system will receive a boost as lemons are full of nutrients including vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fiber - and as it was not enough the vitamin C in lemons can help alleviate stress and fight viral infections. Drink it every morning to help your digestion system get started and to rehydrate your body.

GO TO BED EARLY

Try to go to bed an hour early than you would normally do. Leave all of the electronics you have outside the bedroom and read a good book or magazine instead of being exposed to the blue light from the screen just before bedtime. You will discover a big difference in your sleep and level of energy the next day.

WAKE UP YOUR BODY

One of the best way to really get your body going after a long winter is by giving it a cold shock. You can do this by finishing up your shower with one minute of ice cold water. In this way your body will encounter a shock that will help filter out the toxins in the body because it stimulates constriction and subsequent relaxation of the blood vessels. Moreover, it will reduce stress, be good for your skin, strengthen your immunity system and increase your energy. Get started and try it out!

REDUCE YOUR SUGAR AND SWEETS

Obviously, it will do you good to reduce the amount of sugar in your body. Start by allowing yourself something sweet either once a week or on special occasions such as birthdays and other celebrations. In this way your body will naturally become more and more independent of the unhealthy sugar rush created during the cozy Christmas month.
