Look out for my smoothie on the facebook page! post yours below....
Lunch today can be a mixed green veggie salad like runner beans, carrots, broccoli, peas tossed in spinach or kale, add protein, i.e. fish or chicken or leave if vegetarian.
Snacks can include nuts, raisins and fruit or vegetables.
Make sure you are drinking lots and lots of water. Don't forget to prepare your detox water. at least 8-10 if not more glasses of water while detoxing.
Massage to help cleanse toxins:
If you are interested in getting rid of toxins in the body, you absolutely have to get a good intense massage that focuses greatly on the pressure points within the body.A typical Swedish massage is good, but something more intense and focused like a Sports massage can work even better.
You want to get deep into the muscle tissue to make this work for you. When you push on these pressure points or spots where toxins tend to build up, then you give them a chance to release.
This helps you to naturally detox the body and get rid of the things that may have been making you sick.
Be sure that this comes from a registered massage therapist and that they know what they are doing in terms of ridding the body of toxins. To make it work effectively you want to drink a lot of water afterwards to flush out the system and be sure that the toxins leave the body immediately. Get into this as a regular habit and you will feel a very positive effect from it, above and beyond relaxation at the core.
Hope your enjoying the detox so far... let me know how you are getting on and any questions you have by commenting below :)
Until tomorrow....
