Drink Herbal Detox Tea and Change Your Lifestyle to Make the Process Easier
Anybody who has ever attempted to go on a detox knows that it can be a bit challenging. Even when you are drinking herbal tea, consuming a lot of vegetables, and cutting out sugar and processed foods, you should still consider adjusting your lifestyle in order to make it easier.
This is because when we detox, we can often end up feeling hungry, have low energy levels, become grumpy, or even become emotional because we cannot eat a bar of chocolate and we have had a stressful day at work.
Any change in your diet can be difficult enough, and it can be even more challenging if you followed a diet that was high in alcohol and processed foods before starting.
This is why it is a good idea to design your lifestyle over the next few days or weeks to help support you and at least reduce your suffering to some extent.
- Make a List of Things You Enjoy Other Than Food
Make a cup of herbal tea and write down different ways in which you can bring enjoyment to your life over the next few days or weeks, depending on how long you want to do it.
Especially if you usually turn to things like alcohol or food when feeling stressed, you need to have other ways of reducing stress during this time, as you won’t be able to turn to your old vices.
Perhaps, during this time, you will be able to get rid of some of your old vices and carry on with a healthier lifestyle, even if you feel like you have done it for long enough.
- Adjust Your Fitness Programme to Support Your Body
If you are used to doing a lot of exercise or exercising intensely, you may not have the energy necessary to do so when detoxing. Therefore, it may be a good idea to adjust your fitness routine for that time, and to do lighter exercises that will not put as much strain on the body. It is still a good idea to try and sweat, because then your body will push out extra toxins through the skin, making the detox more effective.
If you usually do not exercise at all, I recommend starting with light exercise, like walking or yoga, just to get some movement going. When we exercise, we stimulate the lymphatic system and improve circulation through the body, which will also help the body push out any harmful toxins a lot easier.
- Keep a Box of Herbal Detox Tea at Work and at Home.
Make sure that you always have some herbal tea at hand to help you when the cravings hit, and enjoy it throughout the day. Choose one that contains a formulation of ingredients that are beneficial not only for weight loss, but also for your general health and removing toxins from the body.
- Schedule Social Visits with Friends
You are going to need all of the support that you can get to help you maintain your sanity. Use this time to invite a friend over for a cup of tea and take the opportunity to bond.
