You’ve been feeling fatigue at work and, besides consuming copious amounts of caffeine, you’re fresh out of other solutions. Some signs just don’t lie: you may need a detox cure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what exactly does “detox” mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In winter, our body, because of a richer diet and less activity, accumulates toxins like a dirty engine. A detox program will help it to get back into gear smoothly by draining it of waste and excesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I need a detox cure?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Quiz time! Mark your answers for the following questions. If you get at least 3 “yes” answers, then t’s time to seriously plan a detox program:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
Are you tired?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Are you stressed?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Do you regularly use any of the following products: alcohol, cigarettes, sweets, sugary drinks like pop and fruit juices?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Do you consume little fish, fruit and vegetables?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Have you stopped exercising?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Do you have difficulty concentrating?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Are you regularly bloated?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
How do you get started with detox program?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
First off, to finally start putting your body to rest and stop exhausting it, plan to eliminate sugar in all its forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gradually reduce meals 2 to 3 days before the program so as not to create a shock for the body. Consume fruits and vegetables in large quantities but avoid meat and limit the intake of dairy products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is necessary, above all, to drink about 2 litres of water per day to replenish the body and take advantage of its natural minerals. Naturally, alcohol and fruit juices are not allowed, but vegetable juices are fair game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Favour the “detox” foods: garlic, artichoke, avocado, beetroot, black radish, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cinnamon, turmeric, spinach and other leafy vegetables such as watercress and chicory. You can also drink a thyme-and-rosemary infusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about fasting?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Fasting is the best-known cure but one that requires much care and balance. If poorly conducted, a fast can significantly weaken you. However, when it’s well-executed, a fast can be an incredible source of renewal. Make sure to have a dietician on call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The mono-diet is easier. When on the mono-diet, the same food is eaten all day. The the program lasts 6 days. True to its name, you choose a healthy food such as rice, fruits and vegetables, which make up the three meals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
A vegetarian diet: it excludes all animal products such as meat and fish and consists only of vegetables, starches, fruits and is filled with eggs every other day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
And One Last Thing…<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If you’re detoxing your body, why not clean up other places of your life? Commit yourself to “detoxing” from various other “pollutants” such as noise, tobacco, TV and mobiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can also be activities like vacuuming the house, sitting in silent meditation or reading. Learn to make a regular “digital detox”, a kind of “pause” on objects that leave you overly-connected and demanding of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
