Feeling Sluggish?

If you’re feeling a little sluggish after the holiday season of indulging in too much food, chocolate, cookies and wine, here are some ideas to help support your body detoxify and get back into the healthy swing of things. A few tips to help with the clean up are:

Drink: plenty of water (adding a little fresh lemon juice helps detoxify the liver), green tea (combats free-radical damage and helps protect against degenerative disease) and freshly made fruit and vegetable juices.

Eat: avoid junk food and eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Make sure you are eating at least 5 to 10 servings of fresh fruit and veggies a day including chlorophyll-rich foods which help cleanse the kidneys, clear the skin, and clean and build the blood. They also help boost the immune system and help the body rid itself of unwanted substances. Eating foods that are high in fibre will help maintain digestive help. Some foods that help increase the fibre content in your diet include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds and legumes.

Exercise: moderate exercise is important to help clean up the lymphatic system. Gentle bouncing on a mini-trampoline (rebounding) or low impact aerobics such as water aerobics or “aquafit” can help rid your system of unwanted toxins. And nothing beats a walk in the park on a beautiful winter’s day!
