Ayurveda for Detox
According to Dr. Douillard, if you eat with the seasons you get the natural benefits of detox. So if you focus on eating seasonal foods, you’ll begin a cycle of naturally detoxing your body from toxins all the time! That is awesome. Learn more about how to eat seasonally.
Dr. Douillard says that we have to realize that nature is trying it’s best to prevent the accumulation of toxins in our body. We have to understand how to live in harmony with the natural cycles of nature. He also tells us that there is a relationship between stress and how we detoxify. If we are under a lot of stress, the body will hold on to fat.
Along with eating seasonally, Dr. Douillard recommends adding these habits to your daily routine for natural detox:
-Start day with large glass of warm water -Scrape your tongue (cleans out your mouth and stimulates digestive system) -Do some yoga, breathing exercises and meditation -Shower -Self oil massage to calm nervous system -Have a nice, relaxing breakfast -Don’t snack between breakfast and lunch -Have a relaxing lunch -Don’t snack between lunch and dinner -Have a small dinner -Get to bed early
Detoxing can reset your system, give you more energy, improve your digestion, help you shed unnecessary weight and make you feel clearer emotionally and mentally.
