DYI Detox

Your body is bombarded with toxins each day – unhealthy food, stress, pollution and effects of a sedentary lifestyle. If you feel drained out by the end of the day, it's just the time to go on a detox programme.

Detox helps in cleaning the body internally. While most people go on a prolonged fast to cleanse their's, an easy alternative is to eat and act right. Here's how…

Go veggie

Instead of making lunch out of steak, gorge on a bowl full of veggies when on a detox. Plant-based foods have phytonutrient that optimise the functioning of the digestive system and quicken liver detoxification. Vegetables like broccoli, cabbage cauliflower, horseradish, rocket lettuce and others that belong to the cruciferous family are packed with phytochemicals. If plain salads don't suffice your appetite, you can even binge on fruits. Most fruits have sufficient anti-oxidants that hold the power to instantly flush out all the bodily toxins.

Hydrate yourself

Apart from drinking ample water, bite on hydrating fruits such as cucumber, watermelon and tomato. Stay away from chips, cookies, brownies, pastries and other processed foods that dehydrate the body and increase toxin levels.

Another no-no is salty food and preservative laden items. Sodium causes water retention and MSG or the flavor enhancers are good enough to reverse your detoxing process.

Snooze off

Early to bed and early to rise might seem like the biggest cliché, but it can be of great help while you are on a cleaning spree. Your detox programme is only successful, if you can team it up with at least eight hours of sound sleep. Make sure you don't sleep in extreme temperature, choose something that you are comfortable it. Nothing too hot or cold.

Juice up

Since the detox programme calls for sound sleep, stay away from caffeine-based drinks that will leave you turning sides in the bed. Instead sip on unstrained fresh fruit juices. They act as great fiber carriers to fasten bowel movements.

Herbal teas are a great way to detoxify. You could pick from thyme, chamomile, sage, lemon or stick to green tea that works best in sweeping the pollutants out.

Massage

To double the effect of a detoxifying diet, you can indulge in some massage therapy. If heading to a fancy spa is a little over the budget, you could rope in your spouse to help you out.

Invest in scented oils like lavender (for calming the senses), ylang ylang (for lifting your mood) and lemon grass oil (for energising the body).

Areas such as back of the neck, hands, shoulder and feet are the most stressed out, especially for people on a desk job. Spend extra time massaging and caressing these areas.

Post massage, head straight for a steam or take a hot water bath. This helps get rid of the oil and throw the toxins out.

EXERCISE

Exercise helps to fasten the detox process. It helps by stimulating blood flow throughout the body, makes you sweat and inhale fresh oxygen – all of which flushes the toxins out.

Running, jogging or aerobics are a good bet to sweat it out. But the best way to detox is with yoga aasanas. Try these:

Kapalbhati

Sit comfortably on the floor or a chair. Inhale fresh air gradually and immediately exhale with force. Repeat this continuously and feel the toxins leave your body.

Yogmudra

Sit on the floor with folded knees (thighs on the back of your calves) with hands on the thigh. Now bend the head towards the knees and feel the hands sandwiched between thigh and the stomach.

Pawanmuktasan

Lie down on your back and bend the legs inside. Clasp with your hands, bring the head up to touch the knees.

Purna naukasan

Lie down on your stomach, stretch the hands forward. Breathe in and raise both hands, head and legs in the air.
