Make Time for a Professional Detox
Stewart notes that a regular detox program is an essential foundational health practice. “Following a detox, all your organs function better and your entire level of health is improved; your metabolism, immune system, brain, and digestive system are all in better shape and re-energized afterwards,” she imparts. The great news is that these days a detox is not necessarily about fasting, but about nourishing your body. You can also detox at home simply by starting your day with a mug of warm water mixed with the juice from ½ a lime or lemon. This stimulates the liver and kidney to provide a gentle flush from your night’s rest, while alkalizing your system. Green tea, an antioxidant powerhouse is also a great at-home detox tool you can use to pump your body with antioxidants and fight free radicals in your system. If you are looking to detox from caffeine, mulberry tea is high in antioxidants, providing a great alternative to green tea.
