Are You Familiar with the Detox Concept?
Lately, this concept has become widespread, and we're all familiar with it, but do we truly understand what it means? The term detox refers to a process in which someone abstains from or eliminates toxic or unhealthy substances from their body (Oxford Dictionary).
When Is It Appropriate to Follow a Detox Diet?
Mainly, after periods of excess like vacations, parties, etc. During these times, we tend to increase consumption of less healthy foods and sugars. Detox recipes help our bodies eliminate what they don't need, in addition to clearing out accumulated toxins acquired during a period of indulgence.
Does Following a Detox Diet Mean Only Consuming Juices?
No, it doesn't have to! Detox diets based on cleansing juices have become popular in recent years, but if you want to follow one, we recommend consulting a specialist and doing thorough research beforehand.
Keep in mind that detoxifying the body doesn't solely rely on this option; there are also various detox recipes composed of detoxifying ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, and grains. Thanks to the natural supply of vitamins and antioxidants, these recipes also yield good results.
Now, we'll provide you with some ideas to prepare cleansing and healthy dishes!
Detox Recipe Ideas
