Detoxify Yourself
This winter has been a long one (and may not be over anytime soon!) and a lot of us are feeling like our diets just aren’t what we wish they were. Spring is the perfect time to clean up not only our houses, but our bodies as well. There are simple, daily things you and your family can incorporate in the coming weeks to begin to detoxify. Try some of the tips below to get you started.
- Begin your day with a warm glass of water with lemon (rind and all) before breakfast to gently flush the liver and get your digestive juices flowing for a day of better digestion.
- Add ground flaxseeds to the diet to be sure elimination is maximized to reduce the risk of toxins being reabsorbed back into the bloodstream which can lower energy and make you feel under the weather.
- Eliminate sugar (including sweeteners)…this toxin is hidden in almost everything we consume (ie , diet sodas, gum, mints).
- Start to increase detoxifying herbs like parsley and coriander that pull heavy metals from the body.
- Eliminate coffee for 2 weeks – this allows the liver to work optimally and creates the opportunity for your adrenal glands (which manage your stress levels) to kick into high gear without caffeine leaving you feeling energized without the java boost.
