After the holidays, it's the perfect time to recover from excesses and get rid of accumulated toxins. Poor digestion, fatigue, irritability, bloating, or a dull complexion can be signs that your body needs rest and a return to balance. A detox cure as well as some good habits to adopt that can help you regain tone, vitality and lightness in the long term.
Key organs in the detoxification mechanism
The emunctories are the organs capable of eliminating waste from our bodies. Among them, three play an essential role: the liver, the intestines, and the kidneys.
- The liver is the major organ of detoxification. Indeed, in addition to digesting fats and storing certain vitamins and carbohydrates, it also filters toxins ingested or naturally produced by our body in order to neutralize them. These substances are eliminated by bile.
- The lining of the intestine is the "barrier" organ between the body's internal environment and the external environment (intestinal lumen). Thus, its wall allows the passage of nutrients from digestion but blocks the entry of unwanted molecules such as bacteria or foreign molecules. After digestion, the intestines are responsible for eliminating all unabsorbed food residues.
- The kidneys They filter our blood and eliminate, in the urine, the metabolic waste produced by our body. After passing through the kidneys, the blood only retains the substances necessary for the proper functioning of our body.
After a period of excess, these organs are then overworked, which will promote the accumulation of waste and impair their proper functioning. It is therefore important to help our body eliminate toxic substances by resuming good habits and supporting its elimination functions.
3 priorities to start the new year off right
1- Hydrate yourself abundantly to facilitate renal elimination
To rehydrate the body, the first thing to do is drink plenty of water, that is, at least 1.5L per day. This will gently cleanse and re-energize the renal system. You can vary the pleasures by drinking lemon water, herbal infusions, green tea or rooibos (red tea without theine) rich in antioxidants. To aid digestion, also consider soups (especially vegetable soups). Their vitamin, fiber, and mineral content will only be more beneficial to you.
2- Opt for a gradual rebalancing of your diet
After the relaxation of eating habits during the holidays, it may be interesting to put your digestive system "on pause" by eating lightly for 2-3 days and thus help it to restart better. Generally speaking, we focus on healthy foods by favoring above all fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables (turnips, carrots, cabbages, oranges, grapefruit, kiwis, squash, leeks, pears, apples, beets, etc.), vegetable proteins (such as whole grains and legumes) as well as homemade dishes. Conversely, we will avoid fatty, salty, sugary or ultra-processed foods.
3- Adapt your lifestyle by listening to your body
To get back on the right foot, nothing beats a good workout, whether at home, in the gym, or outdoors. For non-athletes, there's no need to set the bar too high at the start. A short fifteen minutes of running or brisk walking followed by a few exercises is already a good start. It will then be easier for you to progress if you gradually increase your efforts. Note that regular physical activity has many health benefits and is good for eliminating toxins. Finally, to reduce stress and fatigue, get the sleep you need. Once rested, you'll make the most of your available time and be more productive.
It is possible to use dietary supplements as a boost to get back in shape after the holidays: a course of treatment can definitely be recommended and complement your New Year's resolutions.
