Detox recipes
Detoxification of the body requires a mild and gentle gut cleansing through the food we eat, which reflects in our skin as a visible sign and in the whole body and system as a fresh and energetic feeling. According to Ayurveda a detox routine cleanses all the doshas from our body , in simple word the toxins.
We can plan for a two to three days detox by drinking juices of vegetable and fruits smoothies only but that requires us to stay at home. And well, keep going to the loo several times a day. That way the detox is great but we cannot afford that routine many a times. This kind of detox with juices and smoothies causes a significant drop in energy levels and is not healthy.
There are a few more ways to gently detox the body and system by choosing ingredients and recipes in such a way that you eat all the detoxifying food for your regular meals. And not feel dizzy by exertion or fluid loss. Following these recipes would require some planning of the other meals of the day too as if you are eating a wheat sandwich for one meal and choose one of these detox recipes for another meal of the day, it might not give you desired results.
Most foods that help detox are either mild diuretics, rich in antioxidants or contain soluble fiber in them. Fresh and colorful vegetables, herbs , beans,meat or fish broths made with herbs and veggies are great. Beans and greens, most fruits and juices are great too. Having said that, a consideration of seasons, our body constitution and medical conditions also decide what would suit us best.
