Detox your body after Easter

The holidays of Easter they are already over and it's time to get back to the daily grind. Even though these days have flown by, our body is affected by the changes in our habits, especially food items. During the holidays, we tend to eat in unusual amounts. Whilst it is true that many people avoid eating meat, the consumption of sweets and traditional foods multiplies.

It is normal for us to make the most of our holidays to enjoy ourselves, and food plays a very important role in that respect. When we return to our routine, we may feel a little guilty after all the overindulgence. That is why, from Astrid Organic Tapas Bar we want to give you some tips to help you detox your body after Easter.

Fruit and veg

The first thing we must do is begin to eat more healthily and this requires us to include more fruit and veg in our daily diet. Consume seasonal vegetables, such as asparagus or broad beans.

With the beginning of spring come the long-awaited strawberries and large strawberries. You can eat these fruits on their own or mixed with yoghurt or skimmed milk. You can also make yourself a smoothie, which is very fresh and healthy. Also, if you need some ideas for your meals, take a look at our fresh and healthy salad recipes for the arrival of warm weather.

Hydration

Staying well hydrated is another of the fundamental pillars to detoxify our bodies. Consuming at least two litres of water a day will make it easier to detoxification and we will feel satisfied. In these two litres of water, the water contained in the food itself also counts. You can also drink herbal teas such as green tea, which stimulates fat burning.

Break

A Sleep well it is essential for recovering from a few days of overindulgence, especially now that we have moved to British Summer Time. To help you get used to the new time, we recommend to exercise while it is still daylight o have dinner at least three hours before going to bed in bed to promote proper digestion and avoid going to sleep with a feeling of heaviness, as sleep quality gets worse.

Getting enough sleep is essential to boost fat burning. Sleep maintains a balance between two hormones that regulate hunger: leptin, which reduces appetite, and ghrelin, which increases it. The feeling of tiredness causes us to exercise less and crave foods with a high fat and/or sugar content.

Physical exercise

No matter how good our diet is, it must be accompanied by physical exercise and an active life. Moving is crucial to boost fat burning. Doing cardio exercises or endurance sports like walking, cycling or running are suitable options to lose weight and get fit.
