Ugh. Uggghhhh. Burrp. If these are the three words you speak when you wake up, you've surely overdone the Diwali partying. Now that Diwali's over, get down to getting fit for the X-mas & New Year binges with these detox mantras and diet, and feel rejuvenated...
Cleanse the liver. The liver is the major organ involved in detoxification, however it is still important to support the other body organs of elimination. Empty stomach water, papaya, apple and curd help detox the liver.
Detox the kidneys. The skin and the kidneys eliminate toxins through sweating and urine. Plenty of water and herbal teas plus a sauna can reduce symptoms of toxic overload as they expel toxins through the urine and through the pores of the body. Cranberry and pomegranate juice strengthen the kidneys.
Eat raw to expel the flaw. Thirty to 40 per cent of your diet should be raw fruits and vegetables, especially dark green leafy vegetables and orange, yellow, purple and red colored fruits and vegetables. This will ensure that toxins in the blood are excreted out faster.
Avoid artificial. They're called artificial colourings, sweeteners and flavors because they are. And they can create puffiness, retain toxins, give you acidity and inflammation. So avoid all foods containing these like diet drinks, packet soups, processed meats etc
Supplement. Alcohol, smoke (active or passive), lack of sleep, rid the body of B complex vitamins much faster, thus creating a deficiency of this important nerve vitamin. You may need to take supplements of vitamin B with extra B 12 as well as iron to avoid poor metabolism and fatigue and to replenish.
Stay light. Dehydration and fatigue also requires protein to replenish, hence a great source of protein is a lightly cooked dal (the yellow ones please). Stick to a light, bland khichdi as a meal. This combines protein with carbohydrates to give your body the required energy without overloading the digestive system. Add yoghurt for soothing your stomach and enhancing absorption of amino acids in dal.
Rehydrate. Drink large amounts of fluids (apart from water) like raw juices and green tea, herbal and regular but very weak tea without milk.
Avoid strong teas, coffee and carbonated drinks. These dehydrate the body and strip the Vitamin B1 from the body as well as encourage loss of important minerals such as magnesium, potassium and sodium.
Avoid non-vegetarian food. For 3-4 days at least. Non-veg food takes longer to digest and puts a load on the already overloaded digestive system.
No alcohol. Junk the old saying of "treat a hangover with alcohol." Don't go near alcohol for three days at least. Stick to green tea instead.
The Three-Day Detox Diet
This diet combines the goodness of fruits like papaya that are good for the liver, vegetables rich in nutrients required by the body, the soothing qualities of chamomile, as well as the role of herbs like mint and coriander in comforting the overloaded digestive system. The diet will make you run to the rest room, a required action to expel toxins.
