If you’ve been out having a good time over indulging on food and drinking like Beyoncé, your body is going to end up feeling tired, old and weary if you aren’t taking any measures after your heavy weekends. Everybody loves a healthy body and its easy to maintain good health while still being able to be the life of the party. All you have to do to is detox and there are so many easy ways to get rid of the toxins in your body.

Here are six healthy and easy ways you can detox and stay healthy.

Water

God’s free drink to mankind. The importance of water cannot be understated. Water is life. Drinking eight glasses of water a day will re-hydrate your body, as well as cleansing toxins from your liver and kidneys and keep all those nasty headaches and stomach issues at bay. 

Lemon

Lemons are packed with antioxidant vitamin C, which is great for the skin and for fighting disease-forming free radicals. Furthermore, the citrus fruit has an alkaline effect on the body, meaning that it can help restore the body’s pH balance, benefitting the immune system. Try starting your day with hot water and a slice of lemon to help flush out toxins and cleanse your system.

Ginger

If too much fatty food or alcohol has caused problems for your digestive system, it may be worthwhile adding some ginger to your diet. In addition to this, ginger is high in antioxidants and is good for boosting the immune system. To give your digestion a helping hand, try sipping on ginger tea or adding some freshly grated ginger to a fruit or vegetable juice.

Garlic

Garlic has long been known for its heart benefits, however the pungent food is also good at detoxifying the body. Garlic is not only an antiviral, antibacterial and antibiotic, but it contains a chemical called allicin, which promotes the production of white blood cells and helps fight against toxins. Unless you’re a vampire, you might want to try something different.

Artichoke

If you have recently been overindulging in fatty foods and alcohol, adding some steamed globe artichoke leaves to your meals is a great way to help get your body back on track. I know they aren’t the prettiest looking vegetables on the planet but globe artichokes are packed with antioxidants and fiber and can also help the body digest fatty foods.

Beetroot

Not only is beetroot great for skin, hair and cholesterol levels, but it can also help support liver detoxification, making it an ultimate detox food. To enjoy its benefits, try adding raw beetroot to salads or sipping on some beetroot juice.
