Gentle Post-Holiday Cleanse
Lay a Healthy Foundation For the New Year
Posted January 4th, 2011 by noelle | View Comments
Take these first few days of January to ease into your post-holiday cleanse and lay a healthy foundation for a month of feel-good living.
- Introduce a smoothie for breakfast.
Smoothies are a great way to nourish your body and ramp up your body’s overnight detoxification work at the same time. - Keep vegetarian until dinner Have a hearty veggie salad for lunch filled with baby spinach, crunchy romaine and chopped raw veggies. Top with a scoop of savory guacamole or pico de gallo and finish with a simple lemon and olive oil vinaigrette. Why? Fresh, uncooked leafy greens and veggies act as natural cleansers for your body helping to loosen up old crusty waste. (Waste = Excess Weight.)
- Eliminate processed foods and refined carbohydrates such as white rice, white bread and sugar, which provide minimal nutrients, can be calorically-dense and inhibit your body’s detoxification work.
