After the holidays, usually comes the guilt. All you want to do is lose the gained weight and recover your healthy style of life. Well, that’s why we gather for you eight healthy new year tips for you to return to shape in less time. Keep reading to discover this post-holiday detox plan.
Water is the natural fuel that flows through your body. Water helps you release toxins, and regulates other critical processes inside you, like the weight you gained during the holidays. Drink enough water in January, and your body will recover its balance. Also, you are probably slightly dehydrated because of all the alcohol you drank at Christmas.
When you’re recovering from the holidays excess, the best thing you can do is avoiding any unnecessary calories. One useful hack to do this is eating a liquid lunch like soup. A bowl of yummy hot soup is an excellent dinner option that will make you feel light when you go to bed.
Many people who want to lose weight make this mistake. Skipping breakfast usually backfires because it produces over/eating later. Also, your body should eat at specific times, without letting too much time between meals. This will help your body regain its balance and rhythm, and your metabolism will work better.
You will rest better if you eat light at night. Your body needs proper rest to recover from the holidays. In fact, the human body burns calories while it sleeps, so this is another great reason to sleep well.
Your stomach and liver probably are worn out after the holidays. Give a break to alcohol and sweet drinks and embrace the herbal teas. Sparkling water, green tea, or pomegranate juice will do the trick. Detox your body with these natural beverages, and in a couple of weeks, you’ll feel good as new.
Do you have pie or candy leftovers? Give that food away and fill up your fridge with healthy food and light snacks. Even if you love that cheesecake, it’s better to avoid that risk and let someone else enjoy that calorie bomb. When you remove the temptation, the process becomes much easier.
Of course, no detox plan is complete without good-old-exercise. You need to regain your body’s strength. Lift some weights, hit the ground running, or do some squats and abs for a change. Exercise will free you from stress and will give you a good night’s sleep.
Last but not least, don’t forget to sleep seven or eight hours a day. Depriving your body of rest doesn’t do any good and usually causes quite the opposite. When you sleep, you also burn calories and regain balance through breathing. Like gym lovers say: eat, sleep, repeat.
