Detox Plan to Eliminate Toxins and Extra Weight

1. Increase Fibre Intake

Fibres play an essential role in our digestive system because they stabilize glucose and cholesterol levels in our body and slow down the absorption of fats.

Fibres of a soluble nature bring an impression of satiety by capturing toxins and stabilizing glucose and cholesterol levels in our bodies.

To benefit from soluble and insoluble fibres in your diet conserve a good quantity of fruits and vegetables raw or cooked.

Also, eat whole grains, and complete or semi-complete starchy foods.

2. Eat Regularly

Eat regularly and separate between to slow down fats and generate the formation of toxins. Also, over time the digestive system gets used for small quantities of food. The ideal separate food diet should be between four and five hours a day to allow the stomach’s contents to be emptied into the small intestine and ensure the digestive system finishes digesting a meal.

3. Eat foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants

Antioxidants protect our body cells from free radicals. To help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and chase all the toxins in our body, certain micronutrients such as vitamins C, and E, beta carotene, omega 3, flavonoids, zinc, and fatty acids are fundamental to reduce inflammations.

4. Increase your protein Intake

Getting enough proteins is essential for our health to nourish the muscles, especially foods from animal sources like (eggs, fish, tuna, dairy products, and lean beef) which can increase muscle mass and ensure good satiety. But make sure to eat balanced proportions of proteins because a high consumption promotes toxins and kidney disease.

5. Limit sugars and fats in your diet

A diet high in sugary foods and fats can make you gain weight as sugars in biscuits, chocolate, fizzy drinks, juices, and flavoured yoghurts are the principal reason for triglyceride.

6. Drink more water

Our body is composed of 60% water, so drinking water regularly can help you lose weight, regulate body temperature, prevent headaches, detoxify and cleanse your blood and body.

Increase your daily water intake to hydrate your skin, 2 litres for women and 3 litres for men. The best way to eliminate toxins from your body is to add cucumber, lime, and ginger to your water. Leave it overnight and drink it when you wake up.

Exercising is beneficial for our health to improve digestive function. During the detox period, it’s good to exercise regularly for about 1 hour a day like 30 minutes walking, jumping rope, cycling, and running.
