Covid-19 has been hard for all of us. We were stuck at home for a long time, taking care of ourselves, and trying our best to stay safe. We have been in hibernating mode, resting home, eating away too much, lazing around, snacking at a random time, and sleeping late. No gym, no exercise but we have a plenty of time to make changes to ourselves. Now it is a great time to detox your body, mind, and lifestyle to set yourself. Use all the free times we have to start up a habit and practice it daily to be more active and have an enjoyable life ahead.   

Detox is a hype at the moment and never out of the trend. Here are the few steps to better health and an improved sense of vitality. Make the most out of busy days. Utilize all your free time to shed off all the excess fat and toxins out of the body.

1. Always stay hydrated

Hydration is the best healthy detox you’ll ever give your body. Make sure you drink an adequate amount of water. Drinking the right amount of water will provide you with increased energy, clearer skin, better digestive health, and balanced gut bacteria.

2. Cut your sugar intake

Start by cutting your sugar intake. Don’t be addicted to sugary, carbonated drinks, which only increases dehydration and insulin spikes. High sugar can lead to weight gain (eventually prevent weight loss no matter how hard you try), deplete minerals from your body, stress liver, negatively impact cardiovascular health, and cause sleep problems. 

3. Move your body

Exercising is a form of a healthy detox. Regular exercising helps you to regulate circulation in the blood and lymph system, enhance digestion, reduce tension, lubricate joints, and strengthen your body. People who exercise regularly have fewer toxins in their system because exercise primarily helps regulate and remove the toxins from the body.

4. Decrease your salt intake

For a point of view of some people, detoxing is also about eliminating the excess of water. Consuming too much salt can cause your body to retain excess fluid in the body. This excess fluid buildup can cause bloating and make you uncomfortable. You can detox yourself by reducing salt intake in foods if you find yourself consuming too much salt. 

5. Eat more antioxidants rich foods

Oxidative stress is essentially an imbalance between the productions of free radicals in the body. It eventually leads to a chain reaction that may damage the cells in the body. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants can help your body fight oxidative stress caused by excess free radicals and other toxins that increase your risk of disease.  

6. Get your sleep

Good sleep hygiene is as important as regular exercise and a healthy diet. Consider a sleep reboot where you eliminate caffeine, coffee, tea, alcohol, avoid junk foods, and late meals. Try to ban TV, computer, and smartphone screens for at least two hours before bedtime. 

7. Eat more fruits and vegetables

A colorful variety of fruits and vegetables should be the main focus of your diet along with whole grains, beans, legumes, and small amount of nuts and seeds.  

Swapping out processed foods that lack the nutrients your body needs in favor of more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will help you feel better, without doing an extreme juice cleanse (Example: dark green vegetables).
