Spring detox. Do you want to cleanse your body of the toxins that accumulate in it daily?
Now is the right time! The period after the carnival is the perfect time to start a spring detoxification of the body. Do you know how to do it properly? The answers to the most common questions about detox can be found in our article.
The principle of detoxification is the gradual removal of harmful toxic and waste substances fromthe body and organs – from the liver to the lungs to the lymphatic system and colon; usually through lifestyle modification. This should affect not only the diet but also the overall daily regime.
If you too have imagined a spring detox as just synonymous with a diet based on lots of green drinks, smoothies and juices, you should beware. This is because it is a misconception of body cleansing that is often associated with unhealthy fasting. Of course, most common foods and meals need to be temporarily eliminated from the diet. On the other hand, the food taken should replenish the body with vitamins, minerals and other substances that it lacks after the winter.
In order to do this, follow these principles:
The first step to a proper and effective detoxification is to “clean up” your diet. Give up all unhealthy foods and meals for a certain period of time, i.e. no fatty, fried or sweet foods, also no alcohol or sweetened drinks. It is advisable to limit coffee because of its caffeine content. If you are a smoker, reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke daily. Your lungs deserve to have harmful substances removed too, think about it.
You should also avoid meat and meat products. Replace it with fresh fish, legumes, and lots of vegetables and fruits. You can juice these or combine them to make delicious smoothies. In addition to vitamins, this will also provide your body with plenty of antioxidants. These are essential in protecting you from external influences. Don’t leave anything to chance and make sure you have a reliable protector and helper – Carnosine EXTRA, which contains up to 6 ingredients that help protect your cells from the harmful effects of the external environment.

When detoxifying your body, focus on drinking enough. It is recommended to drink 2.5 -3 litres a day when detoxing. Pure, bubble-free water is best, you can possibly flavour it with a few drops of lemon.
Rest. In addition to adequate physical activity, try various treatments and therapies that will support the detoxification of the body. Lymphatic drainage, massages, a visit to the sauna or spa are ideal. If circumstances don’t allow it, take a short but effective treatment at home – a daily relaxing bath in salt water. This will rid your skin of toxins.
It’s up to you how long you want to detox. However, it is recommended to stay in a strict mode for at least a week, ideally even a whole month. Some even last for months. After returning to “normal”, it is recommended to incorporate the old habits gradually, so that the body does not suffer a shock. Otherwise, you may not be able to avoid digestive problems, for example.
During the first days of detox, side effects (headache, constipation, feeling tired and fatigued) may also occur. However, there is no need to worry, this is a natural reaction of the body, which suddenly does not get a disproportionate amount of sugar or caffeine. After about 3 to 4 days, the body gets used to the new regime and the unpleasantness disappears.
