Every year, our body is put to the test with holiday meals. Often very hearty and high in calories, these meals can be a blow to our body if we do not take care to prepare it.
Lighten your dishes as much as possible
The pretox, do you know? These are methods to put in place before a meal that we know is rich and particularly aggressive for our liver. Going on a detox diet after the holidays is great, but putting in place a healthy diet before those festive meals is even better. This is to purify the body so that the change in diet is not too disturbing.
As with a detox diet, many menus are possible. What is needed is lighten meals as much as possible at least a week before Christmas Eve and avoid any food that is too fatty or too sweet. We will not hesitate to eat vegetables and fruits and anything that contains fiber such as whole grains.
Purify your digestive system
In addition, it will be necessary to think about drinking a lot of water, green tea, herbal teas or even broths which will allow a real drainage. The ideal is to drink a squeezed lemon every morning in a cup of hot water.. This drink will allow you to get rid of all your toxins and purify your digestive system.
Finally, we will recommend you to practice a little more intensive physical activity than usual. Here again the objective is to eliminate toxins. Also remember to go to bed early because rest will be good for your whole body. As we know, these festivals are rarely relaxing, so it is necessary to gain strength before facing them.
As a general rule, in order not to hurt your liver too much, do not overdo it and eat slowly. When it comes to alcohol consumption, again we cannot recommend anything other than moderation.
