Bich Hue February 11, 2019 14:58

After a long Tet holiday and endless parties, you should spend a few days detoxifying your body with a light diet to balance your health.

Health experts warn that Tet is the time when many people "pamper" themselves too much with endless parties. This is the reason why you gain weight quickly and inevitably feel heavy, sluggish or have digestive problems. If you experience these symptoms, it means it's time to detox and purify your body.

1. Artichoke

Numerous studies have shown that artichokes are one of the best foods for detoxifying the body. Artichokes are rich in fiber and nutrients such as potassium, vitamin C, magnesium, and folic acid, which promote healthy gallbladder and liver function, and are loaded with cynarine, which prevents indigestion by increasing bile production and stimulating healthy digestion.

2. Watercress Salad

Watercress salad provides detoxifying nutrients like zinc, vitamin C, vitamin E, and potassium. Not only does it protect your cells from free radicals, it also helps fuel your liver's cleansing enzymes.

3. Green tea

Drinking plenty of water is essential for the success of any diet, and green tea is a perfect choice. It contains certain catechins that help boost your liver function and encourage the production of detoxifying enzymes. The antioxidants in green tea also help prevent conditions such as genital warts, liver disease, digestive problems, infections, and many types of cancer.

4. Beets

Beets are one of the best detox foods. The fiber in them promotes the production of antioxidant enzymes in the liver. Beets contain a compound called betaine, which helps the liver process fat, protects against liver damage, and reduces levels of inflammatory markers.

5. Cabbage

This simple yet effective detox food contains sulfur-containing compounds called glucosinolates, which are then converted into isothiocyanates that prevent cancer by eliminating potential carcinogens.

6. Fresh fruit

A healthy diet to detoxify the body is never complete without fruits. Fresh fruits are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, fiber and other healthy nutrients that help improve the digestive system and remove toxins from the body.

7. Ginger and garlic

Both ginger and garlic help your body fight free radicals, are good for your digestive system and help fight bloating, and improve digestion. Garlic contains allicin, a chemical that promotes the production of white blood cells and helps eliminate toxins.

8. Lemon juice

Lemons are a staple in most detox diets because several nutrients in lemons help your body fight disease-causing free radicals. Lemons are rich in vitamin C, which helps your body detoxify and burn fat. A glass of warm lemon water every morning helps restore your body's pH balance and boost your immune system.
