A well-planned out detox session ensures a constructive home spa experience.
For optimum health your body requires a balanced diet, an abundance of H2O and uninterrupted sleep.
Ideally, regularly choosing fresh whole foods; foods that are closer to their “natural state” are more beneficial. They include but are not limited to all fish, lean meats and low-fat dairy products.
Unsaturated fats are the good fat. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and keep processed sugar products to a minimum. Limit your intake of caffeine and alcohol.
Minor dehydration affects all aspects of our well-being; mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual self. Water flushes toxins from our system thus abetting absorption and transportation of nutrients.
Choosing bottled water means choosing a “non-sparkling spring water with a low mineral and sodium content” or better yet use filtered water. Eight glasses of filtered water a day to keep the toxins at bay.
When detoxing, aim to increase your water intake.
A glass first thing in the morning and last thing before bed, always have water readily available and eat foods with high water content like celery and lettuce. When you sleep your body is working hard to flush out toxins in your body, that`s why the bathroom is your first stop when you wake up. Sleep is a time of renewal and regeneration, therefore following a routine sleep schedule will help keep your body running smoothly.
“When you sleep, your body rests and restores its energy levels. However, sleep is an active state that affects both your physical and mental well-being. A good night's sleep is often the best way to help you cope with stress, solve problems, or recover from illness.” (www.webmd.com)
