No-fuss detox for newbies.
Whether you’ve been holiday-ing too hard or just want to make a positive lifestyle change, detoxing is a simple way to accomplish your goals. Learn simple how-to’s plus 14 ways to detox for beginners, including delicious recipes.
Exercise.
During exercise, sweat carries some impurities out of the body, making it a natural choice for regular detoxification. HIIT workouts are high-intensity routines that will burn fat and flush toxins.
Drink lots of water.
H2O hydrates the body and helps the kidneys flush toxins from the body naturally. It offers the added bonus of acting as an appetite suppressant, so you’re less prone to overeating or unhealthy snack choices.
Boost fiber intake.
Fiber helps the body detox by carrying toxins through the system so they can be eliminated. High fiber food choices include whole grains, beans, edamame, broccoli, spinach, and cauliflower.
Plan detox recipes into your meal plan.
You can do a short-term, focused detox like our 3-Day Soup Detox, but you can also incorporate detoxifying recipes into your regular diet. Choose a few of the delicious recipes below to include on your go-to recipe list.
