Eat your last meal by 7:30 pm : Our body's metabolism slows down after 8 pm. Hence, digesting food after this time becomes difficult. Also, we should wait for at least two hours after you eat before you go to sleep. Ideally, go for a late evening stroll after your meal.
Drink plenty of water : It is advisable to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water when we wake up in the morning. But if that's not possible, simply drink guzzle down water at intervals throughout the day.Water helps to flush out toxins from the body and purify the system. Every morning, drink water, about 1/3 of a one-litre bottle, before you even brush your teeth.
But don't force yourself to drink all the water. Drink as much as you can. After about 40 minutes, you can go about doing your daily chores.
Don't skip breakfast : Indulge in a power breakfast every morning. The best part is that a power breakfast requires no preparation. Rejuvenate our body and increase its vitality with plenty of fruits, vegetables and juices. It is a great power breakfast. We might want to stay away from very oily foods like parathas, medu wadas etc. They tend to make your system sluggish.
Problem with improper breakfast :
- Stomach feel heavy throughout the day?
- Burp constantly?
- Suffer from indigestion, constipation and feel a burning sensation in your food pipe?
- Regular gas formation
- A sour taste whenever we burp
Wake up early : You will be surprised at how much a couple of extra hours can do to turn your day around. Your day will be longer and you will find it possible to do more fruitful activities besides sitting in the office. Try just a single extra hour for starters and gradually increase it. Remember, eight hours of sleep (ideally 10 pm to 6 am) is all you need. So the extra time you sleep is not doing you much good anyway.
Go with the flow : Give your stomach some rest by adopting a liquid diet once a week. This way you will also be lubricating your entire system, and giving it essential liquid nutrients.Throughout the day you can have your choice of juices, milkshakes, tea, coffee and soup. Make sure that you don't indulge in soft drinks and alcohol.Papaya juice is a healthy way to clear out your stomach. It also offers relief for constipation and other stomach problems.If you feel hungry by the end of the day, have dinner. But eat half of your usual quantity.
When thirsty eat liquid, when hungry drink food : This simply means, when you are thirsty or otherwise, never drink water or any other liquids at a stretch. Drink your water slowly, as if you were eating it, sip by sip! This will help flush down the toxins in your body.For eating, "drink food" simply means chew the food up as much you can before you swallow. This helps digestion.
Buttermilk rocks! : Make a glass a buttermilk part of your daily diet . Try it without salt or sugar… it is fat-free and nutritious.
Life, minus salt and sugar… : Try to reduce your intake of salt and sugar but don't stop it all at once. While drinking tea or fruit juices, use the minimum amount of sugar that you can.
Potatoes! : yes , strange as it may sound, potatoes are good for your health. But this only applies to steamed or baked potatoes with the skin. Also, avoid seasoning like salt and butter.
Detox your body :
Detox juice : Detox juice fasting are believed by many to jumpstart and rejuvenate the body's natural detoxification process. It is suggested the detox juice fasting begin during spring and the warmer months of the year. It is recommended that the individual refrain from or limit their dietary intake of animal meat, fish, eggs, sugar, dairy, wheat, caffeine, nicotine or alcohol for at least one week prior to beginning detox juice fasting. The diet should consist of mostly organic fruits, vegetables and beans.
Between 32 to 64 ounces of juice should be consumed daily. Organic fruits and vegetables are highly recommended. If organic options aren't available it is suggested that the skin be peeled from fruits and vegetables or the items should be washed with a non-toxic produce cleaner, usually available at health food stores. Typical fruits and vegetables used in detox juice fasting include carrot, celery, kale, cabbage, apple, pineapple, cranberry, spinach, beets and greens. It is recommended that citrus fruits be avoided. Particularly grapefruits or grapefruit juice, especially if someone is on prescription drugs. A compound in grapefruits has been known to interact with some prescription medication resulting in an increase in blood levels of the drug.
Detox juice fasting is not recommended for durations longer than one to three days. Longer durations must require medical supervision as fasting can lead to nutrient deficiencies, particularly protein and calcium deficiency.
