Foods for a January detox

Christmas, heavy meals, drinks and endless excesses that end up taking a toll on our bodies. We are sure that when January arrives you consider the «detox operation» and try to eat healthier than usual to eliminate the possible excesses of the Christmas season. From our organic restaurant in Malaga We want you to get to know some of the foods that are ideal for this detox.

pineapple

Pineapple is a diuretic food that improves circulation and also helps to put an end to cellulitis. Although it is good in all its forms, it is always recommended to have it fresh rather than packaged. If you are not much of a fruit eater, try adding it as an accompaniment in salads and even as a potential side dish in meals.

Artichoke

Without a doubt, it is one of the products detoxifying par excellence and also helps with liver cleansing due to its vitamins. Many people combine them with salads or simply with olive oil. Both baked and boiled, they make a good choice.

TEA

Herbal teas are always a good idea to put an end to overindulgence. When it comes to teas, the ones usually chosen are white and green tea. The first of these is one of the least processed and also helps to reduce cholesterol. The second is one of the antioxidants most used for weight loss.

Raspberries

Although it seems surprising, raspberries have a high fibre and antioxidant content and they also contain a lot of water which is beneficial for the liver and its cleansing. There are many people who enjoy them in juice, smoothies or similar, but without a doubt there is nothing like eating them fresh.

Lemon

This is a food rich in vitamin C that expels all the molecules that accelerate ageing. Due to the acid it contains, it helps break down food and balance the levels of the body's gastric juices. Similarly, other foods such as grapefruit are also beneficial.

Oat

Oats are good for the elimination of toxic waste and it is recommended to eat them after having a rather heavy meal. If we talk about their role regarding cholesterol it is highly recommended as it prevents the absorption of the same. Many people choose to have this cereal with milk, although many others add it to salads themselves or to certain dishes.

Soups

Who doesn't fancy a good soup in the winter months? Well, apart from the fact that it is very appealing on cold days, it is also recommended to consume consommés as they are digestifs especially if you suffer from heartburn. Out of the wide variety available, leek or celery ones are recommended to help with detoxification.

These are just a few of the foods we recommend consuming after the return from the holidays. If you have any questions or want to try any of these products in our vegetarian restaurant in Malaga, do not hesitate to contact with us.
