8 Simple Ways to Detox Your Body Cut Your Sugar Intake A seasonal detox is an effective way to clear your body of toxins, which will also speed up your metabolism and enhance your overall health. Start by decreasing the amount of sugar you consume, and that includes honey, molasses, and artificial sweeteners. If you eat more sugar, you ask your body for more insulin, straining your pancreas and wearing yourself out. In the long term, this kind of habit can cause you to become chronically fatigued, diabetic, develop cancer, and pack on excess weight. start with Water Drink a tall glass of water with juice from half of a lemon in the morning. Lemon helps re-hydrate the system and promotes digestion, which will help the flow of waste out of your body. Move Your Body Regular exercise encourages circulation in the blood and lymph system. Doing so will also enhance digestion, reduce tension, lubricate joints, and strengthen your body. It's a proven fact. People who exercise regularly have far fewer total toxins in their systems. Sweat It OUT There's nothing more detoxifying than sweating it out! Drink a Lot of Tea Not only is tea full of antioxidants, it hydrates you (especially if it's herbal) and fills you up. This means you will be less likely to overeat or eat the wrong things! Keep in mind, the caffeine in tea is different than the caffeine in coffee—it's gentler on your system. It'll also give you a pick-me-up minus the jitters. Re-configure your diet A colorful variety of fruits and veggies should be the main focus of your diet, along with whole grains, beans and legumes, and small amounts of nuts and seeds. You should eat whole plant foods because processed foods lack the nutrients your body needs. Dark green vegetables, for instance, are full of micronutrients and are very low in calories, so you can eat a lot of them. Exfoliate Skin brushing and oil massages will help exfoliate the toxins from your skin and refresh circulation. ANY QUESTIONS? I'D LOVE TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR GOALS!
| Here are four leading ways to banish belly bulge:
3. Get enough quality sleep. Ever noticed that when you’re exhausted the carbs and sweets seem to call your name? High cortisone will increase your cravings for fatty and sugary foods, making it much harder to stay on track.4. Reduce alcohol intake. More than empty calories from sugar foods, drinking alcohol kicks fat storing into high gear. This happens because alcohol releases cortisol that suppresses the production of testosterone (yes, women produce testosterone too.) Alcohol also causes blood sugar swings, which is why you may experience restless sleep after drinking. Your blood sugar dips so your body secretes stress hormone to bring it back up, and those stress hormones wake you. Blood sugar swings are another stressor that can contribute to belly—fat storage. Ideally, having one or two drinks once or twice a week is the max for fat loss. |
