What you must remember:
- Detoxification is a natural process of the body to eliminate toxins.
- Optimizing this process means above all supporting the functions of the emunctory organs (=which detoxify).
- To recover from excessive partying: take care of your liver and intestines.
- For a good detox, opt for good hydration, a light diet and supplements rich in plants.
What is a detox?
The principle of a detox is based on a modulation of one's lifestyle to facilitate the elimination of toxins from the body. Indeed, this is based on a natural process of the body of detoxification, functions of certain organs called emunctory organs which promote the elimination of waste. Among these organs, we find the liver , kidneys, lungs, skin , intestine .
Detox is therefore based on two principles:
- Control what enters the body to limit the entry of toxins
- Facilitate the elimination of waste from the body
Disclaimer : detox is not a miracle solution, it is a helping hand to take care of your body. It is not to be implemented for the sole purpose of losing weight. Likewise, it should not be extended over the long term but should be done occasionally to support the body.
When and why do a detox?
The emunctory organs do not have a single detoxification function, they promote numerous other metabolic reactions. Their overload can therefore lead to inconveniences such as fatigue, a slowdown in digestion, metabolic disorders, deterioration of the quality of the skin and many others. Detox can prove to be an effective way to reduce this overload and is preferred in several situations:
- After heavy overeating
- After heavy alcohol consumption
- After the holidays
- After taking antibiotics
Indeed, the emunctory organs allow the elimination of fats, alcohol, and medications which are considered by the body to be harmful substances. This is why it is important, after excesses, to get back on track with a good detox and to pamper your body to allow it to function well.
Our protocol for optimal detox after excessive partying?
To implement a detox, it is important to follow a well-defined detox protocol or to surround yourself with suitable health professionals.
During the holidays, it is common to overeat and drink and have a rather irregular rhythm, which can lead to an overload of the organs and fatigue of the body. It is possible to anticipate these excesses and prepare your stomach for the end-of-year celebrations . However, it is also possible to repair the damage by adopting our 3-step protocol for a successful detox after parties and excesses .
Step 1 - Focus on hydration
In order to promote optimal functioning of the body, hydration is essential.
Infused water or not, green tea, infusions, smoothies, the choice is vast for a detox after excessive parties and depending on the drink, the virtues differ and complement each other. It is essential to provide the body with at least 1.5L of drinking water per day for sustained basic functions.
Step 2 - Promote a light diet
In order to limit the overload of the body and in particular the digestive system, focusing on a light diet for 1 or 2 days is essential. Favor foods that are easy to digest: fruits, cooked vegetables, starchy foods, lean animal proteins and limit the consumption of industrial products, rich in fat, and vegetable proteins that are less digestible than animal proteins. Likewise, if you are prone to bloating, you should avoid consuming fermentable products, which are often not recommended on a low FODMAP diet .
Some so-called detox foods contain active ingredients or nutrients to facilitate digestion. They can therefore be integrated into detox recipes to facilitate the elimination of toxins. Indeed, the intestine-liver axis is very important and can be at the heart of metabolic problems . The overloaded liver releases its toxins to other emunctory organs such as the intestine and can potentially cause digestive problems.
To prevent and avoid the occurrence of bloating , it is important to take the time to eat and chew to avoid significant air entry.
Step 3 - Pamper the body with herbal medicine and probiotics
In order to deeply detoxify your body, the action of certain active ingredients may be essential. Indeed, herbal medicine is the ideal ally for preserved liver and digestive health. Taking plants such as caraway, milk thistle seeds, rosemary in the form of supplements, essential oils or infusions will help support the functions of the liver by promoting the elimination of waste to regain a healthy body. of its shape.
Likewise, integrate fibers with a prebiotic effect but also probiotics to promote good integrity of the intestinal wall , optimal assimilation of nutrients and limit the risk of inflammation occurring.
