After taking advantage of summer, do you want to get into a detox? Here are the keys to succeed without frustration.
Summer often rhymes with pleasure of life. Restaurants in Gogo, sleep at staggered hours and a little more alcohol than usual … When the summer season is coming to an end, many of us get into a detox. The goal? Help the body go back on a good basis, eliminate toxins, feel lighter, and in better shape. Very often, the detox, however, comes with its share of received ideas: monodiet, diet only based on juice … Put an open door already: these are very bad habits that will create food deficiencies and unbalance the body. To get down to it safely, there is a universal solution according to Marie Chavanes, nutritionist at Nutripure. Follow the leader.
The first thing to know when we do a detox? Our body is already equipped to do it alone: the liver intervenes in different processes, including blood filtration, transformation of nutrients, but also the elimination of toxins. Our lungs, the kidneys and the digestive system also take care of it. “”This is why I prefer to speak of ‘regaining a good lifestyle’ rather than detox“, explains the professional. She thus recommends adopting a holistic approach, and taking into account several factors: stress, sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and hydration.”The objective is to support our internal natural mechanisms. I advise to avoid ultra-transformed food, prepared dishes which are very inflammatory and do not place the body in good conditions“, she continues. Conversely, we increase the portions of fruits and vegetables on the plate, and preferably choose them in order to maximize the intake of antioxidants, fibers, vitamins and minerals. By finding in his meals the balance between greenery, proteins and starchy foods, we already help your body re-assist a frame.”This will allow you to have longer satiety, so also avoid snacking over the day.“Beware of what your plates contain sufficient quantities, the goal is not to generate a calorie deficit which would then cause weight loss but could also create deficiencies. Yes, a detox is not equal to weight loss!”I think it’s really more a vision of having the best routines to make sure, from a healthy, energy, performance point of view, to be able to hold on the day“, even specifies Marie Chavanes! And if you need a little help: Nutripure has a food supplement called pure detox, supporting the liver function.
In parallel with a balanced diet, it remains important to adopt good sleep habits (between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. per night), but also to limit the consumption of tobacco and alcohol possible. “”These are factors that harm an individual’s balance and do not help him achieve his goals.“Finally, we put on a regular sporting practice. No need to go to the gym every day if it was not the case before, or to embark on sporting challenges outside the risk of disgusting. A watchword: benevolence. We choose an activity adapted to its level and we observe the progress gradually.
For the dietician, no secret: “It is important to create a favorable environment with a synergy between the plate, sport, daily, and health. To take into account the whole individual to meet their own needs.“We give his body about 21 days to create a new balance and we observe the changes arriving on your body and morale!
