The Time after a Holiday is ...

Well, in the moment is doesn´t look like this (s. photo above), but soon it will! We are expecting spring and summer, garden parties, holiday at the beach and … we are therefor preparing ourselves with a body cleansing to look attractive in a light summer dress and in a bathing costume. If you have put on some extra weight during Easter and you want to become slim and fit again a good tip: detox! Nothing complicated, only getting the acid and other bad souvenirs away.

A first very good tip: drink as much natural water as you can. Two liters a day at least, better more. You say, how can I do this? Easy-peasy! Have a can with water on your desk. If you want it more tasty, squeeze a lemon and add the juice to the water. When you see the can with fresh water in front of you, you will take it. If you are the one who prefers warm drinks take herbal teas, two liters herbal teas a day. Without sugar of course. The water or herbal tea detox diet are the simplest detox diets around. Only by drinking water unwanted toxins flush out of your body and help your to lose weight and to become healthier.

When you are hungry prefer eating vegetables, fruits and salads, particularly the leafy greens. Leafy vegetables are ideal for weight management as they are low in calories and, furthermore, they have many health benefits, one of them is they help to reduce the risk of cancer and heart diseases. They are high in vitamins, minerals and carotenoids and act as antioxidants in the body.

Craving for sweets? Take berries, apples, pineapples, passion fruits, pomegranates, grapes, melons and smoothies. You cannot do anything better for your body than drinking smoothies: when you see the amount of fruits and vegetables to produce two glasses you would think you were never able to take it, raw at that. Mix in a blender, add water and you get a delicious drink. And you will not have the lightest problem to drink it all. I would have liked to get smoothies in my childhood. I was always thirsty and wanted fresh fruit juices. There were no high speed blenders then. Now I have a very good blender, in effect two, and I take at least two huge glasses a day. This is heaven!
