Summer is the perfect season to eat fruit! There is great variety, something that always favors our mood and taste. In any case, it is good to prefer fruits and vegetables that are in season and it would be even more ideal if they were bio. Specialists say that once a week we could eat only raw fruit and vegetables and this habit boosts your body. This way we give a chance for our body to detoxify from the toxins gathered mainly from animal products. Dairy is also often a cause for inflammations that develop in our bodies. Fresh juices, superfoods, and raw nuts can boost detox and make us feel saturated and this way helps us fulfill our goal.
You can choose between different types of detox depending on the season, your mood, goal, and preferences in taste. For example, when consuming only juices for a whole day, you give a great chance to your digestion system for a break. A necessary element to boost your detox is of course water. As it may seem a bit boring to some, you can always spice things up by adding some spices or herbs and vegetables (mint, ginger, basil, cucumber, lemon slices ore grapefruit, etc.). Later on, you will find a link to one of my recipes too. Always consume your vegetables immediately after juicing or slicing to achieve the biggest intake of vitamins and trace elements.
I suggest and encourage you to take the risk and try dishes with raw vegetables such as broccoli, beetroot, and artichoke and combine them with cereal and nuts of all kinds. Prep your dishes in pretty containers and place them in groups depending on their color or shape. Enjoy the final product before eating. Besides, when it comes to our diet all of our senses should be involved. Here, you can find some ideas to include in your diet if you want to detox:
