The new year is the perfect time to set new goals, and for many, that means focusing on health and wellness. Common resolutions include becoming more active, drinking more water, adhering to a balanced diet and losing excess body weight. Another healthy thing you can do for yourself as we enter 2025: rid your body of potentially harmful toxins with a gentle, safe cleanse.
As you’re likely aware, your body naturally detoxes on its own. But you can do your part to help support the process with an easy, effective cleanse. There are several options to choose from, but we’ll get into those in a moment. First, you can prepare your body for a cleanse by taking the following steps a few days beforehand:
- Drinking more water and cleansing teas (e.g., dandelion root tea, nettle tea)
- Eating light, simple foods (e.g., salads, soups, steamed vegetables)
- Reducing or eliminating animal products
- Cutting back on processed foods
- Increasing consumption of whole grains (e.g., brown rice) and pseudo grains (e.g., buckwheat, quinoa)
- Avoiding salt, sugar and fried foods
