POST PARTY DETOXIFICATION

SOME SIMPLE TIPS TO FOLLOW;

• Enjoy skinless poultry, fish or tofu with at-least 2 cups of antioxidant-rich veggies. And if your body craves for starchy carbs, round out your detox dish with a fist-sized potato or 1/2 – 1 cup cooked quinoa.
  
  
• Green Tea is rich in antioxidants and also contains catechins, an exclusive antioxidant that enhances liver functions.
  
  
• Packed with Vitamin C and natural enzymes, lemons and oranges kick start the digestive tract by transforming toxins into easily digestible material. Not only do they remove toxins from the body, but also burn body fat.

• Exercise helps the lymphatic system to get rid of toxins. This is also the best way to press the reset button after a night of splurging. Spare at least half an hour for a run or a brisk walk to get your heart racing and blood circulation in good motion.
  
  
• Proper hydration is always essential, but it’s specially so after a night of indulgence. Drinking water is an excellent way to flush the body of toxins. Drink plenty of water, preferably warm water, all through the day for better metabolism and great results.
