One Day Detox; Morning, Afternoon and Evening

Whether you ate too much the night before or you simply need a push in the right direction, this one-day plan will get you going on the right track!

Morning

1.  Upon waking up: Lemon juice has various health benefits, that’s why you should start your day off the right way by drinking a glass of hot water with fresh lemon juice, as hot water and lemon juice don’t only provide you with Vitamin C, but also, they help stimulate your digestive tract.

Also, make sure to stay hydrated during the day as hydration is a key element of a healthy detox.

2.  Before breakfast:

When you’re detoxing, it’s not recommended that you engage in any intense workout, still, it’s necessary to maintain your body temperature and keep your blood flowing, that’s why it’s highly recommended that you do some yoga if you’re feeling a bit sluggish, as it helps you stay energized for the rest of your day.

3. Breakfast:

Set yourself up for a successful day by eating a meal that will keep you feeling satisfied without weighing you down. For example, you can have a strawberry smoothie made up of two cups of fresh strawberries, a frozen banana combined with two teaspoons of peanut butter and 120 ml of either plain Greek yogurt or fat-free milk along with half a cup of ice cubes, since such a smoothie contains more than a day’s worth of fiber, which will definitely help to keep things moving.

Another option is a flat-belly smoothie, consisting of 90 ml of vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt, a tablespoon of almond butter, half a cup of frozen blueberries, half a cup of frozen pineapples, a cup of kale and 3/4 cups of water, as these ingredients are known to ease digestion and eliminate uncomfortable feelings of bloat. Both smoothies contain about 300 calories.

4. Mid-morning coffee break:

Despite the fact that it’s encouraged to give up caffeine during a detox, sometimes that’s not possible, yet don’t worry as you can replace coffee with green tea that’s rich in antioxidants, and helps boost metabolism.

And if you’re feeling the need for a little snack before lunch, grab an apple, or have some blueberries or probiotic-filled Greek yogurt that can aid digestion.

Afternoon

1.  Take frequent breaks: Use this time to take good care for your body’s health, so try to move during the day as much as you can, get up often from behind your desk and take short walks around your office (every 20 minutes or so would be great), and If you can’t do that often, take yourself a moment to do stretches while behind your office, and rest your eyes giving them a break, by looking away from your computer using the 20-20-20 rule, Looking away from your computer screen every 20 minutes at a spot that’s 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
2.  Lunch time: Avoid afternoon laziness by eating a light lunch that won’t weigh you down, like a special detox soup consisting of spinach, asparagus, or broccoli, or a fiber-rich cabbage salad that’s made up of purple and green cabbage, red and yellow peppers, avocados, hemp oil & seeds, lime juice and cilantro, which contains heart-healthy fats; add some lean protein to your meal and take this time to eat away from your desk and your phone, focusing on the delicious meal you’re having. And once your lunch is done, take a 20 or 30-minute walk.
