Detoxification

Are you thinking of starting a detox diet? It is a common thought right after the Christmas holidays or Easter.
On the internet or in magazines there are a number of dies that promise detoxification of your body but they are strict and lack of nutrients. In reality, no diet can provoke the detoxification of the human body. On the contrary, detoxification is a natural process of the body which takes place through certain organs, for example the liver and kidneys. So, in case you feel the need to detox after a certain period of excess food consumption, these types of diets are a profoundly wrong choice. What can we do?
We can follow and adopt basic rules for healthier eating habits:

• Increase the portions of fruit and vegetables to at least 5 a day.
• Drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day.
• Avoid frying. Use other forms of cooking.
• Limit dining-out to once a week
• Consume a variety of food groups on a weekly basis; legumes, vegetables dishes cooked in olive oil, fish, chicken and less meat.
• Avoid overconsumption of sugar and salt.
• Avoid soft drinks and boxed juice.
• Increase physical exercise.
