Detoxing a Women's Body
Drink a Lot of Tea
"Not only is tea full of antioxidants, it hydrates you (especially
if it's herbal) and fills you up," says Ashley Karr, a research
psychologist and wellness coach. "This means you will be less likely
to overeat or eat the wrong things!" Keep in mind, the caffeine in
tea is different than the caffeine in coffee-it's gentler on your
system. It'll also give you a pick-me-up minus the jitters.
Eat Organic
Chad Sarno, research and development chef for Whole Foods' Health
Starts Here initiative suggests you reconfigure your diet this year.
"A colorful variety of fruits and veggies should be the main focus
of your diet, along with whole grains, beans and legumes, and small
amounts of nuts and seeds," he says.
You should eat whole plant foods because processed foods lack the
nutrients your body needs. Dark green vegetables, for instance, are
full of micronutrients and are very low in calories, so you can eat
a lot of them.
Combat Environmental Pollutants
Don't forget that pollution and allergens are all around you. They're in the air and can trigger allergy symptoms (such as yucky, puffy, red eyes). Dr. Travis Stork, host of daytime talk show The Doctors advises you flush your nasal passages regularly with a Neti Pot. Doing so can eliminate the side effects of air pollutants and lead to better breathing naturally. If you use the Neti Pot before bed, even better-it will enhance your sleep.
