Hydrate

Water is essential to help flush out toxins from the system. We must aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. For an extra boost, we can add lemon slices or a dash of apple cider vinegar to water, which can help improve digestion and cleanse the liver.

Eat whole foods

Focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli are rich in fiber and antioxidants, and help in supporting detoxification and aiding digestion.

Cut back on sugar and processed foods

After overindulging, it's important to avoid added sugars and processed foods, which can cause inflammation and slow down the body’s detox process. Instead, we can opt for natural sugars found in fruits and steer clear of sugary drinks.

Increase fiber intake

Fiber-rich foods such as oats, chia seeds, lentils, and beans help regulate digestion and cleanse the digestive tract. Fiber binds to toxins and aids their elimination through the digestive system.

Get moving

Light exercise, such as walking or yoga, can stimulate circulation and improve digestion. Sweating also helps eliminate toxins through the skin.
