Foods for a cleansing or detox diet

On several occasions we have talked to you about what a detox diet is. Now that holidays are about to end, it is time to purify our body and get rid of all those excesses we have committed during summer.

Physical health

In addition to the detox diet, which we will go into in more detail later, it is very important to do physical exercise. Make the most of the good weather to do outdoor sports. Enjoy the last hours of the day when it is cooler and go for a walk, run or even swim.

Mental health

Don’t obsess about what the scales show when you get back on them after your holidays. Don’t lose your head and try to lose those extra kilos too quickly, because you run the risk of a rebound effect. The best thing to do is to lose half a kilo a week, without starving yourself, but choosing carefully all the products you eat. Swap fried foods for grilled, baked or even steamed foods.

Foods that will help you in your detox diet

• Kale and spinach. Kale, rich in folic acid, calcium, magnesium and iron, is ideal for oxygen transport and helps detoxify the body. Spinach, on the other hand, helps to combat fluid retention and prevents constipation while eliminating toxins from the body.

• Celery and parsley. Your best friends for the return to routine. If you make broths with these ingredients, you will help to purify your body and regulate your blood cholesterol levels.

• Turmeric. It is a root with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as helping to reduce cholesterol and glucose levels in the blood. A plant that acts as a natural liver protector, promoting the proper functioning of the liver.

• Pineapple: This is the fruit that contains the most antioxidants. With its anti-inflammatory properties and the ellagic acid it contains, it regulates our metabolism and also promotes weight loss.

• Infusions: The queens of cleansing. Water is the main ingredient of any detox diet, but if we also mix it with infusions, based on dandelion or horsetail, it will be even more beneficial for our purpose.
