If there is one thing that is consistent with the beginning of the year, it is the desire to either get healthy, get fit, or lose weight. Losing weight, or detoxing<\/strong>, is a common New Year\u2019s resolution because of all the holiday eating that happens before the beginning of the year. Most holiday meals are heavy, carb-centric, and full of unhealthy fats, sugar and sodium. People have the power to eat unhealthy throughout the year, though. We want to help you dig yourself out of the hole of heavy meals and into a healthier, lighter self.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detoxing does not mean that you have to abstain from food. On the contrary, you want to eat food, but it has to be food that provides essential nutrients to the body. Additionally, you want to eliminate unwanted sugars, processed foods, and excess carbohydrates. Finally, flood the body with water and herbal teas to properly hydrate and flush toxins from your system. Below, you\u2019ll find some helpful tips to detox after a lot of heavy eating<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink Healthy Waters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is not an endorsement to purchase bottled sugary, electrolyte beverages from the store. If the color is reminiscent of a nuclear fluid (think lime green, blue, or bright yellow), you can count that out. Good old fashioned filtered water is life, but you can enhance this water to encourage detoxification<\/a>. Add fresh cucumber slices, lime wedges, orange wheels, berries, pineapple cubes, and herbs to your water. Infusing these types of ingredients into your water can impart their nutrients into the liquid. Not only do they enhance the nutritional properties of your water<\/a>, but they also make your water taste that much better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Load Up On Negative Calorie Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is no such thing as a food that has zero calories. There are, however, foods that are so light in calories that the body burns just as much or more calories digesting them. The idea behind detoxing is that you want to give the body a lot of nutrients and water. Foods that are very low in calories and high in water<\/a> include cucumbers, asparagus, apples, watermelon, blueberries, lettuce, cantaloupe, broccoli, and cauliflower. The combination of the nutrients and water content will help the body flush out all the excess food you consumed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Be Afraid To Nap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that you can nap too much<\/a>. If you decide to nap, especially in the afternoon, try to keep naps to 20-30 minutes in length. Sleeping too much can negatively affect your sleep cycle, or make it difficult to fall asleep at night. Sleep is necessary for the body, as it is the body\u2019s way of rejuvenating itself. Just don\u2019t rest too much, or you will feel groggy and out of sorts.\u00a0Lack of sleep<\/a> can negatively affect digestion, metabolism, and energy levels, which impairs your ability to naturally detox. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry Brush Your Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dry brushing is a way of stimulating lymphatic flow<\/a>. The lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins, but you need to activate it in order to facilitate this process. In order to promote lymphatic detoxification, you just have to move, but you can also use a technique called dry brushing. You can give yourself a lymphatic massage with your hands, or you can use a brush with firm bristles. The easiest way to start is to brush is to start with the feet and legs, always brushing up towards the heart. Once you get to your thighs, start at your palms and work inwards toward the heart. You can then do the abdomen and armpits, followed by the back and face. Click here<\/a> to learn more about dry brushing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get To Sweating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The gyms are more crowded than ever in the beginning of the year. People are filled with ambition and ready to drop some pounds! You don\u2019t need a gym membership to get your sweat on, though. Not only does exercise encourage you to sweat, but it also boosts your mood. Sweating is one of the body\u2019s way of getting rid of excess toxins. If you feel puffy after a lot of heavy eating, your body is most likely retaining water<\/a>, especially if that food was heavy on the salt and sugar. A good sweat session can help you de-puff and get you out of your funk. After an aerobic workout, consider getting in the sauna to sweat even more.<\/p>\n
