With summer on the way, many people begin to look for magic formulas to detox (and be in perfect shape!). But before starting a detox diet it is important to make some considerations. First things first, miraculous diets are don’t exist! Extreme diets can lead to serious health problems, so instead choose a conscious detox diet that includes plenty of nutritious superfoods that will guarantee that you still get all the nutrients you need, even whilst detoxing. These are some of the points you should consider before starting a detox diet:

 

Adjust the detox diet according to your needs

 

Since we are all different, there is no ‘one size fits all’ detox. Having said that, when on a detox, it is important to avoid these foods:

 

• Sugar
• Alcohol
• Coffee and tobacco
• Fizzy drinks
• Processed and refined products
• Meat
• Dairy products
• Gluten
• Eggs

 

You can follow a more or less restrictive diet, but it should always include fresh fruit and vegetables, seeds, algae (such as Spirulina, Chlorella) or Wheatgrass, gluten free whole grains and beans (if you can tolerate them 😉).

 

Adjust your diet to your lifestyle

This is a very important point. If you spend all day working, it will be impossible to prepare fresh detox juices for all meals. That’s why our Detox Kit can be a good option for you. Prepare the recipes for your everyday life using some of our superfoods that you can take both in the morning and in the evening. Iswari products are easy to use and very effective to cleanse the body.

 

 

Don’t forget that Hydration is extremely important.

 

During a detox diet, what we drink is just as important as what we eat. Both sugary drinks, coffee and alcohol should be avoided. We should drink plenty of water, tea, homemade detox juices, green smoothies or alkaline drinks throughout the day. It is important to keep hydrated all day long.

 

Eat Green Superfoods

For breakfast, lunch or dinner, green should be the predominant colour of your dishes. That’s why Spirulina is the best superfood for a detox diet. This super algae is one of the most powerful and effective superfoods to detoxify the body. It is known for its high protein content, and its ability to strengthen the immune system. Its strong flavour can be masked by using pineapple, citrus and banana, but it can also be used within all types of recipes, such as pesto! Be adventurous!

 

 

Plan your meals

 

During a detox diet it is very important to let the digestive system rest between the main meals so that the body can have time to purify and let the digestion system work even better. That’s why we should plan our meals and try to prepare a light dinner, in order to give the body the opportunity to regenerate overnight.

 

Take care of your sleep

 

At night our body takes advantage of the fact that we are not eating or doing activities to purify itself. That’s why we should sleep well. If we respect our biological clock and sleep about 8 hours each night, our body will be very grateful!
