How to Detoxify your body & Easy Smoothie Recipe #3




These are simple advices to get the toxins out of your body once in a while, and they will not interfere with the results from your workouts

Recently, I decided to cut down on some food because of two reasons: to keep myself slim while I still cannot actively workout because of the injury; and to detoxify my organism. I don’t know what is the real reason, but in the last couple of months pimples started appearing on my face and neck (I haven’t had those for ages!).  So, even if you are trying to eat quite healthy as I do, it is still a good idea to cleanse the inside of your body from time to time.

So, here’s my simple way of doing it. You can do it as many days as you want (but not less than 2!). I decided to go for a week myself.


First thing in the morning: A cup of warm water + honey + cinnamon + lemon


What does warm water do for you? Drinking a cup or two of warm water before you have eaten any meal in the morning is said to improve your metabolism for a great start off. Adding to it some organic honey makes it more tasty and gives you energy for the day. The lemon gives you an additional energy boost, it helps toxins get out of your body and protects you from getting a cold because of the Vitamin C. The cinnamon helps you stay slim! It regulates the blood sugar levels and has an anti-bacterial effect.


Before leaving to work: Yoghurt + a few drops of olive oil + parsley + lemon drops (possible black pepper, salt)


The yoghurt can be full since you eat it in the morning, so that it also gives you some energy for the day. The olive oil helps your stomach function perfectly. Moreover, it makes you fills just enough with less and good calories.

It is improtant that you also do not drink any coffee so these should give you some energy boost. However, you can always make yourself a fruit smoothie or a shake for during the day. Energy boosting fruit are the citrus fruit - grapefruit, orange, kiwi and lemon.


Later during the day: Fruit salad / Vegetable dish on the grill

The fruit should mainly be citrus or contain lots of water, such as strawberries, melon, , watermelon, etc.  You can always combine this with some yoghurt and honey. Fruit contain lots of antioxidants.
I made myself today vegetables on the grill and this was yammy: eggplant, a paprika, a tomato, mushrooms, garlic and onion.

For dinner: Watermelon / Tomatoes + basilicum + olive oil

Basically something light and filling, so the more water it has in it, the better.

Last tip: Drink a lot of Water and Green tea
