Exhaustion, depression, depression — how familiar it is! The skin has become dull, dry and irritated, hair and nails-brittle, and the scales are not happy, showing an increase of several kilograms. But summer has come, and it’s time to put your body and soul in order. Detox is a new trend for those who want to be beautiful, healthy and energetic!
Toxins are the enemies of health and beauty
Scientists and doctors consider toxins to be the main causes of health problems.
“Every year, the human body receives about 3 kg of toxic substances, while there are constantly 800 or more toxins in the cells of the body,” says Oksana Ivanova, a general practitioner. – Toxins come from food, poorly treated tap water, cosmetics, household chemicals, medicines, alcohol, as well as through the lungs during active or passive smoking and living in an unfavorable environmental zone. It poisons the body, affects the condition of the skin and hair, leads to various diseases and early aging.”
It is necessary to periodically carry out procedures for cleaning from slags, and most importantly-to drink more water. The fact is that water has a unique ability to remove toxins and poisons from the body, purifying the blood and reviving the cells. That is why some juices and cleansing teas are not enough, as part of detox drinks must be water, which also has a rejuvenating effect.
Clean water for detox
To detoxify the body, you need to use only high-quality water, purified through a reliable filter. Well-proven filters from the German company BRITA, considered the No. 1 filter in Europe, as well as in countries such as China and Taiwan, where water quality is a more serious problem than in Russia. To purify tap water from industrial impurities and rust, BRITA uses MAXTRA technology, which removes chlorine and impurities and reduces water hardness, preserving minerals and other useful substances for the benefit and taste of water.
The water passed through the BRITA filters has a pleasant taste and is very useful for the body. Dietitians and cosmetologists recommend drinking at least 1.5 liters of water a day, but if you do a detox, you can increase the amount of water by listening to your inner feelings and needs. Clean water is used to prepare cleansing teas and delicious drinks for the health of the whole family.
Spring cocktail of parsley
To prepare this healing drink, you will need a Navelia water filter jug from the German company BRITA. The fact is that it is advisable to prepare cleansing cocktails only on clean, fresh and delicious water that is useful for the body.
So, chop a bunch of washed parsley, pour it into the bowl of a blender and pour 0.5 liters of purified water. Turn on the blender for 5 minutes and whisk its contents well. For a rich taste, you can add lemon juice and a little honey to the cocktail during the whipping process. This drink strengthens the immune system, removes toxins and excess fluid from the cells, removes edema, restores strength and has an antioxidant effect. Honey enriches the green cocktail with vitamins and trace elements, raises hemoglobin, strengthens blood vessels and the nervous system. Lemon kills viruses and bacteria, fights aging, burns fat and supplies us with energy that is so lacking!
Fresh beet and apple juice
Beetroot is a great detox vegetable, because it contains the vitamin-like substance betaine, which cleanses the liver and gallbladder. In addition, this healthy vegetable destroys putrefactive bacteria in the intestine and sanitizes it in full. Beets go well with apples, as they contain pectin, which improves the complexion and prolongs the youthfulness of the skin.
Squeeze out the juice of one small beetroot and the juice of two apples in a juicer, chop 4 celery stalks in a blender and mix all the ingredients. Celery is very important in the drink, because it is a product of negative caloric content, the body spends more energy on its digestion than it receives. Celery root is also an excellent antiseptic, an energizer for mental and physical activity, as well as a natural aphrodisiac that increases male potency.
The fresh beet-apple juice is very concentrated, so dilute it with a glass of pure water from the Navelia filter jug.
Ginger tea with mint and lemon balm
An employee of the phytobar, Igor Veselov, talks about the benefits of ginger drinks.
“Ginger root is a popular component of cleansing drinks, as it is very rich in antioxidants that enhance the metabolic processes in the cells. Ginger is also called a “panicle”, which sweeps out toxins and toxins from the body. But most importantly, it strengthens the immune system and improves the condition of the skin. For clients, I make tea from a 2-3 cm long ginger root, but I always use clean and fresh filtered water. In urban conditions, it is better to clean the water with filters that preserve the mineral composition of the water. The German BRITA filters perfectly cope with this task.”
And here is Igor’s detox recipe. Rub the ginger on a fine grater, pour 0.5 liters of clean water and bring to a boil over the heat. Then reduce the heat and let the tea simmer for 10 minutes. Throw a few leaves of fresh mint and lemon balm into the drink, let it brew, then add the juice of one lemon, 1 tbsp. l. honey or rosehip syrup.
This drink is valuable because mint cleanses the body, reduces depression and appetite, and melissa cleanses the intestines, renews the blood composition and strengthens memory. Such a drink in the spring is a great help to the body!
Cranberry juice with cinnamon
Cranberries are not accidentally called “sour healer” — it contains so many vitamins, minerals and trace elements that it is able to cope with any diseases. For a spring detox, you can’t find better berries!
Grind 0.5 kg of thawed cranberries in a blender, add 1 tsp of honey, a glass of purified structured water from a Navelia filter jug, and a pinch of cinnamon, if desired. Turn on the blender again and whisk the cocktail, and then enjoy a drink of health and beauty.
Cranberry is a natural antibiotic and helps in the treatment of inflammatory processes, it prevents the growth of malignant tumors, normalizes kidney function and contains fructose and glucose, which nourish brain cells. Also, cranberries get rid of edema and toxins, and cinnamon enhances the effect, cleansing the intestines and rejuvenating the body. Drink this juice more often, and beriberi will bypass you!
Refreshing cucumber cocktail
Cucumber drinks are indispensable in a home detox program, because cucumber contains a lot of liquid, which effectively removes toxins from the digestive tract, relieves swelling and relieves the work of the pancreas, tired after winter food excesses. With cucumber, citrus juice, for example, grapefruit, is perfectly combined, which helps to reduce weight and normalizes cholesterol levels in the blood.
Mix sliced cucumber, juice of one grapefruit, half a cup of purified water from a Navelia filter jug and a bunch of spinach in a blender, saturating the cells with oxygen and removing toxins from them. Whisk the cocktail, pour it into glasses, decorate it with a circle of cucumber and a leaf of spinach.
