Consumed Too Much Alcohol? Ways To Detox Without Starving Yourself

The end of the year is all about festivity, parties, and going all out. In these cases, one can drink a little more, eat some unhealthy food, and generally take it easy. But when the year emerges, it is all about making resolutions to keep healthy and detoxify the body to become a new you¡ªphysically.

But while detoxification is on the agenda, not many want to diet or, rather, starve to achieve it.

Ways to detox without starving

If you want to detox your body without having to starve yourself and not eat, here are some ways to do it:

Make a rainbow plate

Pile your plate with a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables. These gems are packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients that help your body eliminate toxins and free radicals. Think leafy greens, berries, citrus fruits, bell peppers, and cruciferous veggies like broccoli and kale.

Add fibre to your body

Fibre acts like a broom, sweeping toxins and waste out of your digestive system. Load up on whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fruits and vegetables with the skin on. Don't forget to stay hydrated; water helps fibre do its magic.

Emphasis on exercise

Exercise is a fantastic way to get your blood pumping and lymph flowing, promoting detoxification. Find activities you enjoy, whether it's a brisk walk, a dance session, or a yoga class. Even small bursts of movement throughout the day can make a difference.

Get enough sleep

When you're sleep-deprived, your body's detoxification processes slow down. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body to repair and recharge. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, avoid screens before bed, and make sure your sleep environment is dark, quiet, and cool.

Drink a lot of water

Water is essential for flushing toxins out of your body. Aim to drink 8¨C10 glasses of water per day. Herbal teas, unsweetened fruit-infused water, and even broth can also contribute to your hydration goals.

Practice deep breathing

Taking deep, mindful breaths helps to oxygenate your body and remove toxins from your lungs. Practice deep breathing exercises throughout the day, especially when you're feeling stressed.

Try to stay away from toxins

Limit your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, air pollution, and harsh chemicals. Choose organic produce whenever possible, avoid processed foods, and opt for natural cleaning products.
