It’s that time of the year when the weather is warming up, and people are starting to worry about how they are going to look in a swimsuit. Many of us, self included, got a bit lazy during the colder months and need something to kickstart the season. Much like giving the house a good scrubbing each Spring, it’s a good idea to give our bodies a Spring cleaning. Increased exercise, healthier eating, and detox cleansing are all common this time of the year.
Detox is a great way to restore balance to your body and mind. I have tried many different detox methods throughout the years, and there are a few things I like to do for a successful and healthy detox.
Tips for a Healthy Detox
1. Get a checkup. Spring is the perfect time to pay your doctor a visit, and it’s always a good idea to get a checkup before starting a new diet or exercise program.
2. Do your research before beginning a detox cleanse. The Fit Tea website has some great information about detox in general, in addition to their products.
3. Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. Water will help flush the toxins out of your body. Avoid soda and other drinks. If you want, add a slice of lemon to your water.
4. Make healthy food choices. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and foods which are high in fiber. The extra fiber will help you to feel full and aid with digestion. Some foods to avoid during detox are sugar, refined flours, alcohol, caffeine, animal protein, gluten, soy, dairy and all processed foods. Eat a small, healthy snack every 2 to 3 hours to stabilize blood sugar.
5. Get plenty of sleep and exercise.
6. Take time to relax. Meditate and focus on your breathing while doing a detox.
I think it’s important to choose a type of detox that works for you. The above tips are recommended, regardless of which detox program you choose. FitTea is an all-natural detox tea, available in a pill form and tea (hot or cold), also available in decaf. See this Fit Tea review for more information.

Are you ready to enjoy the good CLEAN you? Are you planning a Spring detox?
I might have to try this. I saw a photo of myself today and was amazed at how much larger I looked. I need to lose a few pounds for sure!
Drinking water is huge! I always feel like I’m helping my body detox when I work up a sweat. Great tips!
WATER – that is my secret weapon. I drink a ton and have great benefits
Fantastic tips. Great to detox now and then.
I’ve been feeling like I want to do a detox of some kind! I’ve only done one or two in the past but I know they have incredible health benefits. These are all fantastic tips to get ready for a cleanse 🙂
I’ve never done an out and out cleanse. I’m a little scared even though I know it’s bound to be good for the bod.
Drinking water is key no matter if you are detoxing or not. It takes water to flush water.
I know several people that have done a detox and were very pleased with their results.
I need to do a detox here before summer officially starts. I always feel better after!
I’ve done detoxes in the past but I don’t believe they worked. Thanks for the tips! And, I’ll definitely have to check out fit tea!
