Ever so often, you may feel like your life is spinning out of control. More importantly, the effect of your super fast, superbusy lifestyle on your body. With all the late nights, cocktails and junk that enters your body, it is important to give your body a rest and rejuvenate it from time to time. This is where detoxification comes in. Think of it as a spa treatment for your body from within.

Detoxification, or detox for short, is a way to remove toxic substances from your body and clean it from within so that it can handle your erratic lifestyle better, while keeping you full of energy. Here are a few weekend tweaks for you to try. You will not only see the difference, but feel them from within, and Monday morning blues might look a little better.

DIET : Just like your muscles need rest, so does your overworked digestive system. Give your GI system a break and go for this two day detox diet:

The main components of this diet are hydration and nourishment. Hydration is exactly what it says: water, water and lots of it! You can opt for clear vegetable soups without added cream, diluted fruit juices or herbal teas if water makes you feel nauseous, or seems too boring. Alternatively, you can go for lemonade, but please do not add sugar or honey.

Nourishment is another important aspect. The key is to provide your body with enough energy and nutrients to keep you feeling energetic, while at the same time to avoid overwhelming your digestive system. Light snacks like fruits, clear broth based soups and yoghurt will help you clean up your system while jump starting your metabolism, providing you with essential vitamins and minerals, as well as boosting your natural gastrointestinal flora.

Start the day with two to three large glasses of water. After your morning bathroom duties, try some light Yoga stretches and poses to feel fresh and rejuvenated. Instead of three heavy meals, go for light, short snack breaks. Spend your time doing stuff you enjoy, which doesn’t entail stuffing yourself! This will help you relax and detoxify your mind as well as your body!
