Christmas and New Year’s Eve are synonyms of excesses. Gifts, preparations, nerves, trips and many celebrations around the table. But when holidays end, it’s time to get back to good habits and offer your body a healthier life day by day.
That’s why now, in this first week of the year, it’s the perfect time to start a Detox diet. We can turn the page, leave the excesses in the past and return to take care of our body. This is where superfoods enter the scene: they can be great allies in the process of detoxification. These are some of the habits we should follow if we want to start 2018 with a renewed and toxin free organism.
Wheatgrass is known as the “elixir of youth”; it is an antioxidant that helps regulate blood sugar, alkalizes the body and drains the lymphatic system, eliminating toxins. It also cleanses and purifies the intestines. It should be taken on an empty stomach and before going to bed, with a shot of water and lemon or with a little drop of (organic) apple juice.
Chlorella is the most powerful natural detoxifier, it contains a large amount of chlorophyll, more than 20 nutrients and many minerals and essential amino acids.
Spirulina is the queen of plant-based protein sources. It is a spiral-shaped organism with multiple cells, rich in vitamins, chlorophyll, minerals and fatty acids such as Omega 3 and 6.
Hydrate – Hydrating is essential to detoxify your body and clear your body of toxins. Water keeps the skin hydrated, healthy and elastic. But be careful, because it is useless to drink two liters of water at once; you have to drink water all day long to keep your body hydrated.
Vegetarian or flexitarian diet – Reducing meat consumption is a good way to detoxify the body. Have you ever thought about following a vegetarian or vegan diet? If you think it is too big a challenge and you don’t dare switching to it completely, the flexitarian diet probably suits you. It is an ideal diet for those who are still in a transitional period. If you reduce meat consumption, you can use our proteins as your allies in the diet; we created them specifically for vegetarians: Super Green Protein and Super Vegan Protein.
Eliminate foods that are bad for your body – Through nutrition, we give our body the nutrients it needs to maintain the health of our cells, our tissues and organs. But the majority of supermarket food contains everything, except nutrients. We must remove gluten, lactose, sugar and coffee from our diet if we want to start the year with a completely detoxified body. Iswari offers you substitutes and healthy versions of all these foods. Super Oats, for example, is an excellent gluten free substitute flour, Xylitol is a sugar substitute and our Macaccinos range can be drank instead of coffee.
Say goodbye to alcohol: alcohol is one of the most damaging substance for our body. So, it is time to eliminate it from our lives. But if a special occasion approaches and you will not be able to resist, try taking Chlorella before drinking alcohol. This detoxifier helps eliminate alcohol from the liver. A recent scientific study conducted in Japan showed that taking 4-6 grams of Chlorella before drinking alcohol prevents hangover in 96% of cases.
