Had too much food during the new year party? Try these 5 detox concoctions
As 2021 has begun, we are sure most of you have indulged in too much food, drinks and sugar during the New year's party. After all the celebration and binge eating, now its time to flush out toxins from your body and start afresh for your new goals.
Keeping your system clean and free of toxins is the first step towards being healthy. Detoxing your body on regular intervals not just helps you manage your weight but also has added health benefits. Here are five easy detox concoctions that will help you start afresh.
Apple cinnamon detox water
Healthy
recipes hardly ever taste good and this one is no exception. Apple
cinnamon water has phytonutrients and antioxidants, which protect you
from developing diseases like cancer, hypertension and heart disease.
The drink can also boost your metabolism along with clearing your
system.
Take one finely chopped apple, take one cinnamon stick and put both in a glass of water. Mix properly and the drink is ready.
Orange carrot ginger detox
Oranges
are densely rich in vitamin C, carrots are loaded with beta-carotene
and ginger has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Combining the three powerful ingredients makes for a perfect detox
drink.
You can simply take one medium-size orange, one carrot and one inch piece of ginger. Put the ingredients in a blender, add half a cup of water and blend well. You can consume the drink without straining for added fibre.
The classic nimbu pani
Lemonade
is one detox drink that tastes nice. Lemon helps in keeping your
hydrated and provides you with vitamin C. Opt for salt lemonade rather
than the sweet one when trying to detox.
Honey lemon ginger tea
Indians
and their love for tea need no introduction. A piping hot cup of masala
chai (with no milk) is the best drink to provide you warmth in winter
and detox your body at the same time. The tea can also treat sore throat
and cold. Add honey and lemon after straining the tea.
Chia detox water
Chia seeds are gluten-free and a rich source of calcium. They help in weight loss by suppressing appetite. When added to a glass of water, chia seeds swell up and develop a gel-like consistency. You can try having this drink first thing in the morning to boost your metabolism and cleanse your system.
