One Day Detox

Hey guys!
We all know the feeling and consequences that a long weekend has on our mind and body . That is exactly why I created this one day detox plan which will cleanse your mind + digestive system and prepare you for an energetic week ahead. 



A few tips to keep in mind through out the day:

  1. The night before and in the morning of the detox, it is important you remind yourself that today is mainly dedicated to cleansing the mind and body. 
  2. Consume foods just to fuel and cleanse. Not to satisfy cravings or hunger.
  3. Mentally, keep your mind focused on positive and healthy thoughts.
  4. Continuously drink water through out the day to stay hydrated and flush out the toxins.
  5. Eat fresh foods and avoid store bought.


Upon waking up:

Drink 1L of warm water with fresh lemon juice or 2 tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar

Exercise:

Stretch your body or do a light 20 minute exercise. Walking is best on days like this.

Meditate:

Turn on the app "Calmapp" or "Headspace" or simply search for " The Honest Guys " in youtube and follow their guided or sound meditation according to your mood and time limit.


Breakfast:

Prepare a Smoothie:

1 Beet - To detox the Liver
Handful Spinach - To detox the Pancreas
1 Cucumber - To detox the Stomach
1 thumb sized ginger - To clear the throat
8 oz of coconut water to cool the body
1 sweet non citrus fruit like grapes, berries, apple, pear

Snack:

Green Tea with raw nuts. Avoid a smoothie during this time

Lunch: 

On a bed of greens, add a healthy fat (avocado & nuts ) dried craisins and any other raw vegetables you enjoy. Do not use any dressings other than lemon juice, honey and olive oil .

Snack:

Bananas or apples baked with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Avoid a smoothie during this time

Dinner:

End the day with some hot vegetable soup. My favorite soup contains (cabbage, carrots, corn, peas) with ginger. garlic and coriander. Instead of broth, just use water.

Dessert (optional):

1 Date and chamomile tea or a date with simply warm water
