Spring is here (Finally!!! I hear most of you saying). Well
we all know that spring is the perfect time for clearing out the old to allow
room for the new. That is the whole basis of spring cleaning. Spring cleaning
does not only refer to clearing out your cupboards but also to all your
internal baggage as well. This can be winter weight that we all tend to stack
on to help us feel warm, toxins from the comfort food we have been eating or
just stagnant energy from being inside and sedentary.
It’s up to you how you interpret spring cleaning but any
form of clearing things out creates movement, energy flow and helps you release
baggage. I know after a big clean out of my room I feel quite liberated and
light.
Whether it’s your external or internal environment you
clean, you will be creating an energetic shift to allow yourself to move into
summer feeling free for new opportunities to flow in. So now’s the time to get
cleaning!
For a spring detox follow these simple steps:
1.
Start each day with two teaspoons of apple cider
vinegar in warm water.
2.
Eat plenty of fresh fruit and veggies daily.
3.
Consume good quality gluten free carbohydrates
such as basmati rice, buckwheat, millet, quinoa or amaranth.
4.
Eat some protein with every meal such as lean
meat, fish, nuts and seeds, legumes, tempeh or eggs. Consume more fish and less
red meat.
5.
Avoid sugar, caffeine, alcohol and fast foods.
6.
Drink at least 2 litres of water daily.
7.
Support liver function with herbs such as St.
Marys Thistle and Dandelion.
8.
Consume bitter foods to aid in liver
detoxification such as rocket, mustard greens, endive and chicory.
For optimal results follow this diet for 2-6 weeks. If you
have any medical
conditions consult your health care professional before following dietary
advice.
So enjoy the blue sky, sun and smile!
