Summer Get ready for L ook and feel your best this summer with these 10 expert holistic health tips from naturopath Danielle Marasco .
Did you know that the average human being eats 25,000,000 kilograms of food over their lifetime? And in a COVID-affected world in which we stay at home more – and potentially eat more, and less healthy, food options, as well as drink more alcohol – this figure is on the rise. The main source of toxins to affect our body is most often food, which may be laced with chemical additives and preservatives; the second largest source is our lifestyle, which plays a role in exposure to environmental pollutants and chemicals found in personal care and household items. The good news is this simple 10-step detoxification program will improve your energy, mood, sleep and digestion, as well as boost your skin and hair health.
3. Drink up One of the easiest ways of ensuring a successful detox is to drink a minimum of two litres or pure water every day – add more if the weather is very hot or when you are exercising. A good rule is that, if your urine is not almost clear, you need to drink more.
5. clean conciously Eliminate, or at least minimise, the use of conventional personal care and household cleaning products which may come with unwanted chemical fragrances, sulphates, aluminium, bleach, petrochemicals, herbicides and pesticides. Swap to natural products that contain white vinegar, herbal extracts, essential oils and bicarbonate of soda – they are just as effective, and much safer for you and the environment.
