What can you drink to detox your system after the holidays?
How do I detox my body after the holidays? That’s a question I ask myself every year, right after we’ve left Christmas and New Year celebrations behind…
Right after, I’ve already had more meals in a day than sleeping hours in the night.
Holidays are awesome. I love Christmas. New Year inspires me. I also have a few family occasions in November and the beginning of December, so when I say “celebration” I mean “CELEBRATION!”
The tables are full, and the only real movement I make is from the table to the car so that I could place myself on another dining chair in another house.
Can you relate?
How Do I Detox After Christmas?
Sooner or later… we need a holiday detox
Yes, sooner or later the holidays end, the sparkles of the wine are still tickling my throat, the meat has settles somewhere around my waist, and I realize I need a serious detox.
I need to cleanse my body and consciousness from all the unnecessary things I decided I must indulge.
That’s when I choose my cocktails for January – a selection of drinks to detox after the holidays. Yes, I still have my coffee as part of my morning routine before work, but a detox drink goes right next to it.
So, I thought… why not creating a brand new list of best holiday detox drinks. In this way, you and I both have something to look at when choosing the best drinks to cleanse our bodies after the holidays.
But before I get there, let me tell you the top four pillars of post-holiday detox.
Four main ways to detox after the holidays
Ok, once you read these four pillars of successful detoxification, you will know something vital – they are good for you all year round, not just at the beginning of January.
However, for the sake of this post, let me list them below.
The main way to detox after holidays – Detox Water
I don’t know how you feel about water, but I’ve never been a huge fan of it. However, we all understand the benefits of good water intake daily.
When detoxing after the holiday, try detox water.
That’s simply infused water with fruits or veggies in it.
The first thing that probably popped in your head is water with lemon or water with cucumber. Yes, these are detox recipes that help you hydrate your body and alkalize it at the same time.
It’s crucial to alkalize your blood as most of the food you and I just swallowed in December is a highly acid-forming food. That means you probably suffer from inflammation and fatigue.
So, before you enjoy all the detox drinks I will list below, maybe start your days with warm water and lemon or cucumber.
Better Sleep
Now would be the time to catch up on some sleep.
You won’t be able to cleanse your body as fast and beneficial as you would if you simply add a few hours to your sleep. Take often naps, go to bet earlier.
If all that is impossible due to lifestyle, just improving the quality of your sleep will do the job too.
Plus, you always get the weekends when you’re able to catch up on extra zzz hours.
Healthy Food
Another no-brainer for all detox-needed days.
Choosing foods that are healthy, and make our bodies work less to process them is a blessing you need while you cleanse yourself.
Go for lots of green leafy foods, have at least two different fruits every day, avoid fried and junk food, stay away from processed, canned options in the supermarket.
Exercise To Detox After The Holidays
Exercise more – it’s not only another thing on your New Years resolutions’ list, but a very serious helper in detoxing your body after the holidays.
Exercising helps your metabolism work better, it regulates body weight, boosts the mood (we all want to be happier), protects you from a very long list of diseases and improves your overall health.
How often do you exercise?
