Here are some simple steps that you can begin now in order to prepare your body for a fall detox.- Hydrate- detoxing can eliminate plenty of toxins, so make sure that you drink extra amounts of water so that you can help to flush out toxins.
- Diet- begin now to eliminate certain foods from your diet so that when the actual detox begins it won't be such a shock to your body. Reduce or remove foods such as gluten, sugar, trans fats and processed foods. Begin to stock up on plenty of organic vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. Prepare your kitchen to help you make healthier choices and removing possible temptations when on the detox.
- Coffee- if you are a coffee drinker, begin to ween yourself off of coffee. This will help to reduce withdrawal symptoms when removing caffeine during the detox. To help with this transition, opt for switching out coffee for tea, and then eventually to decaffeinated herbal teas.
- Detox Tools- look into tools to help you during the detox process. Some options are dry-skin brushing, Epsom salt baths, contrast showers, and massage.
- Do not binge before a detox- many people start a detox with a few days of bingeing with everything that they will be missing when on the detox. Skip this so that you are not creating more work for the body during the detox. Just because you fill up your body with food this week, doesn't mean that you will still be full next week.
Stay tuned for the Pura Vida Nutrition fall detox coming next week.
Pura Vida!
