The 16th day of Chinese New Year is called Detox.
Reality hits hard as the festive season winds down – in the form of bloating and lethargy. But fret not, this damage isn’t permanent.
Return to your happy and healthy self with these detox tips.
- Warm lemon/lime water + honey: This combination keeps constipation at bay while helping liver function and fighting stomach infections.
- Green Tea: This tea contains antioxidants called epigallocatechin gallate (CGCG) that works to cleanse your body from impurities and toxins.
- Water: We can’t stop saying how important water is for your body. The minimum intake is over 2 litres a day, as water helps flush out toxins from vital organs while carrying nutrients to other parts of your body.
We’re sure working out is part of your New Year’s resolution (It’s part of ours every year too!). Get started now with easy workout routines that will make you sweat. Sweating will help you eliminate excess calories and toxins.
You can also incorporate yoga into your exercise routine as it helps your body eliminate toxins while soothing your mind.
Try out some of these useful workout apps to give you a kick start.
It’s time to give your body a break. Skip all the heavy, decadent, and processed food and turn to healthier alternatives like fruits, vegetables, smoothies, and yoghurt. You don’t have to be overly ambitious and go on a liquid diet or one of those smoothie food plans. Just try to eat smaller portions and healthier meals. Your body will thank you for it.
