Detox Cleansing Diet - The Easy Way

The usual way of approaching a detox cleansing diet is to stay on it for one or two weeks. Many users then come off it and go back to their old bad habits. Some people have questioned the value of this. Surely it is better to make long-term healthy changes to your diet? Here are some easy tips for a detox diet that you will be able to stick to in the long term.

No salt - avoid putting any salt on your food or cooking with salt.

Semi-skimmed milk - Instead of drinking full fat milk, change to semi-skimmed. This has less saturated fat and there is not much difference in taste.

Alcohol - Cut down the amount of alcohol you consume to a healthy level. A couple of glasses of red wine is fine but don't overdo it.

Vegetables - Add an extra portion of steamed vegetables to your meal in the evening. Alternatively add an extra portion of salad vegetables such as tomatoes.

Juicing - many people struggle to reach the recommended amount of fruit a day. But they find it easier to drink juice. You can buy pure fruit juices or why not invest in a juicer so that you can make your own?

Smoking - Smoking affects just about every organ in the body and is the cause of thousands of death from cancer each year. Quitting will allow the body to recover. It is amazing how resilient the human body is. Stopping smoking can have an immediate affect on health.

Coffee - Instead of drinking coffee that is high in caffeine, try drinking a healthier alternative. You could have hot water with a slice of lemon or an herbal tea. Alternatively you could enjoy a fruit juice or fruit smoothie.

Making small changes to your diet and lifestyle can have a massive impact on your long-term health. If you believe it is better to make small but permanent changes, rather than a short-lived detox cleansing diet, why not start today?
