FEEL LIGHT: 6 TIPS FOR DETOXIFYING AFTER THE HOLIDAYS
HAPPY NEW YEAR SPARKLING! Welcome to the new year. We hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your family and enjoyed yourself. Did you also feast and enjoy some delicious treats? Then it's time to feel light again so you can start the new year full of energy and lightness. Today we have 6 simple tips for you to help you ease the burden on your body after the holidays:
1. GET EXERCISE AND GET A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
We all know that exercise is healthy and makes you happy. But it doesn't always have to be a sweaty workout; it's more about incorporating more exercise into your daily routine in the long term. The World Health Organization recommends adults do at least two and a half hours of moderate exercise per week, which equates to approximately 20 to 25 minutes per day. It's ideal to exercise outdoors, for example, on a walk or a leisurely jog. This way, you'll replenish your oxygen reserves and stimulate your metabolism at the same time.
2. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND HERBAL TEAS
To flush out the toxins accumulated from all that heavy eating and the occasional glass of wine, you should drink plenty of fluids. Teas made from nettle, lemon balm, peppermint, or ginger also stimulate your organs and regulate digestion and detoxification. Our PURIFY CAPSULES are perfect for an extra metabolism and immune boost: The PURIFY formula is packed with high-quality herbs and medicinal mushrooms, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals. You can simply mix the SPARKLE into rice, oat, or nut milk as a ritual, or add it to tea, smoothies, or porridge—it will let your body and mind glow from within!
3. EAT ALKALINE FOODS
A predominantly alkaline diet and a balanced acid-base balance are the foundation for health and well-being. If the body is exposed to too many acidic and too few alkaline foods over a prolonged period, it must make increasingly greater efforts to neutralize the acids in the body and maintain its optimal levels. A sufficient intake of alkaline foods is therefore also recommended as a long-term diet. Incidentally, all of our YLUMI products are alkaline , making them perfect as support for a healthy lifestyle.
Acidic or acid-forming foods such as meat, eggs, dairy products, sweets, ready meals, products made from white flour, alcohol, lemonade, coffee, and black tea should be reduced, while alkaline foods such as fruit and vegetables, pulses, protein products such as soy or tofu, oils, herbal tea, vegetable juices, water, almond or unsweetened plant milk, and products made from buckwheat flour, spelt flour, or millet should be integrated into the diet.
4. SUPPORT YOUR LIVER
Liver health is crucial for overall health. Regular care and relief of this organ is therefore essential for our body, as it performs vital metabolic functions. As the body's central "detoxification organ," it regulates fat metabolism, produces bile, and promotes digestion.
Diets rich in meat and fat, alcohol, excessive stress, and a sedentary lifestyle can impair the function of the liver, gallbladder, and digestive systems, overloading and tiring the liver. As a result, it loses its ability to efficiently process toxins and fat. Chronic fatigue, headaches, digestive problems, obesity, cardiovascular disease, allergies, and other health problems can result.
With our CLEAN CAPSULES, we've developed a product that provides optimal liver support. Ingredients like Rhodiola Rosea, Chlorella, and Milk Thistle promote liver health, support the body's natural lipid metabolism, and provide increased vitality—exactly what your body needs after the holidays. And it gets even better: You can get the CLEAN CAPSULES in a limited-edition, exclusive set with our Palo Santo meditation wood in our CLEANSING SET . This way, you can not only cleanse your body but also your mind and your home—well-being on all levels.
5. START THE DAY WITH LEMON WATER
A glass of warm lemon water is the perfect way to start the day: Thanks to its high vitamin C content, lemon water strengthens our immune system, and its diuretic effect, as an effective detox aid, banishes harmful substances from the body. It also has an alkalizing effect and counteracts excess acidity, which, among other things, promotes inflammatory processes in the body. Furthermore, this antibacterial drink can gently regulate digestion and fight unwanted bacteria in the gut. Important: Only add the fresh lemon juice when the water is lukewarm. Vitamin C is very sensitive to heat.
6. CLEAN YOUR TONGUE
Not only the liver but also the tongue is a detoxification organ . During the body's excretory processes, harmful germs and metabolic products can accumulate on the tongue, providing a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. With the help of tongue cleaners, harmful toxins can be removed, bad breath can be prevented, and the sense of taste can even be intensified. Cleaning the tongue is recommended in the morning. Using a little pressure, the tongue is scraped several times and the coating is rinsed off the tongue cleaner under running water. Many pharmacies, drugstores, and supermarkets now sell a wide variety of tongue cleaners; we recommend the typical Ayurvedic models made of stainless steel. These are somewhat more expensive, but last considerably longer.
You can easily integrate these effective tips into your daily routine and you'll soon feel better. Just give them a try and let us know how you get on – feel free to share your experience here in the comments or onInstagram .
