| | January is the time that many people think of having a detox for health.
Great idea - the time for 'new starts' and new year's resolutions. Get cracking while you are feeling keen.
First of all, diet is a good place to focus. You probably know to cut down on meat, especially red meat; to eat fish 2-3 times a week, especially oily fish; to cut down on dairy food; and to increase salads and vegetables and fruit. .
Another good point is to cut down on starchy food - bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, as too much starch is bad for our health in many ways.
Detox with the Help of Herbs
At this time it is wise to supplement your dietary efforts by using herbs for detox. You can use herbal supplements for a detox in general: or you can treat the particular detox organs and go for detox for the colon, a liver detox or detox for the kidneys and bladder. An immune system detox is also an option, as the immune system is a major factor in helping us rid ourselves of toxins.
It is also vital to make sure that you get sufficient rest and also enough exercise. Gentle walking is good exercise; the main thing is not to overdo it. Rest if you feel tired. After your detox you can return to more 'full on' exercise.
