February 26, 2024 Comments Lifestyle

Skip tidying up your closet or scrubbing those baseboards, we're focusing on a different kind of cleaning this spring--we're talking about detoxing your body naturally! So you can feel refreshed and rejuvenated. It's time to spring clean like never before!

We all get phases like this, wanting to start fresh when the grass starts showing itself more underneath the melting snow. It's no wonder why everyone gets that spring cleaning feeling when the sun’s shining and we see the blanket of snow slowly dissipate. But spring cleaning can go a lot deeper than just our homes and one may argue that our bodies are the best home to be in, so we want to make sure we treat it with care by detoxing naturally! Not sure where to start or what to get to help you out? No worries, we’ve got just the list for you!

Clean Slates with Clean Eats - this one is probably the most obvious; invest in detoxifying foods! What are detoxifying foods? Foods that essentially battle out the toxins from your body, and it doesn’t have to be super fancy foods, even increasing your daily veggie intake can help you detox! Superfood green mixes are all the rage when it comes, not only to improve your health, but also giving you that good cleanse, and the great thing about superfood green mixes is that a scoop a day is all you need to get in those antioxidants and imperative veggies without the hassle.

Have A Detoxing ParTea - green tea is a big contender in the natural detoxification world, tea in general is great for you, but green tea is the MVP when it comes to a fresh start and a good detox. Filled to the brim with antioxidants and detoxifying agents, green tea has your back throughout it all. Some studies show that drinking around three to four cups of green tea a day will help in flushing your body of any toxins.

Stay Cool with Charcoal - now we know what you’re thinking, and no, we’re not talking about the coals you use for a barbecue, well technically, we are, but charcoal when processed in a certain way and activated, can actually be not only digestible but also contain loads of benefits to the body! Activated charcoal is great in detoxing your body from all those pollutants that it gets from foods, the environment and the like, so taking measured scoops on a set schedule is a great way to allow your body to detox!

And there you have it! A small list goes a long way, like a small scoop does in a day. Making these little changes will keep you feeling great and healthy! When spring comes around and the green starts to poke up from the snow, take charge and give your body the cleanse it wants.
