Detox is a program of purification, rejuvenation and cleansing at the same time. The biggest goal is to remove the toxins accumulated in the body in detox programs. To be able to call it a healthy detox program; The person must meet the daily calorie intake. It should be mostly herbal, but this does not mean constantly consuming fruit or detox juices. In this case, proteins come into play, and the person should definitely get the amount of protein they need daily. A healthy detox program can be applied for 1 week and repeated 2-3 times a year. In order for a person to have a healthy life, he or she should not only make a food detox, but also make various changes in his life.

  1. Food Detox

Detox is the removal and elimination of toxins that are not needed by the body and cause negativity to the body, as well as foreign substances from the body. Consumption of plenty of water and natural nutrition, avoiding processed foods play an important role for a healthy body and life. Meals where vegetables and fruits are predominant, the choice of whole grain breads, fish consumption 2-3 times a week, snacks made with oilseeds, and probiotic-containing products provide great support in detox. The most important support is the liquid support in detox programs, the need to pay attention to here is the difference in fluid consumption and water consumption, and chamomile, fennel, nettle, lemon balm, sage are among the teas that can be consumed during the day. It is beneficial to avoid coffee, tea, alcohol and carbonated / sugary drinks during detox programs.

  1. Soul Detox

In addition to the food detox, please do yourself a favor and remember the soul detox as of 2018. Detox programs are a whole and I recommend that you feed not only your body but also your soul. Health; Remember from time to time that the person is in a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and that your soul should accompany you on this adventure. For example, you can contribute to your soul detox by reading a book, listening to your favorite music, painting, and brisk walks in the open air during the day.

  1. Environmental Detox

Food detox and soul detox are good, but it may not be enough in this period. Although it is a bit of a strange title, unfortunately, a part of detox is to remove people from your environment who make you unhappy, stressed and cause problems. You should pay attention to the fact that the people who make you happy are around you and the number of these people is increasing. Actually, I am talking about a kind of friend detox here. If the people around you are happy, they are happy. If they are stressed and angry, we get into an angry mood, unfortunately, and environmental detox is a must to get rid of them. ! The choice is yours..

  1. Digital Detox

Social media has unfortunately taken us all into its network for a long time and it will continue in this way as long as we allow it. In order to prevent this, we must be aware of the food detox, the soul detox, the environmental detox, and the digital detox. Let's not forget that we can't do without a phone during the day, and the sentences we use such as "I can never live without the internet" will actually cause trouble because the digital environment takes us into its network and will affect our psychology negatively most of the time. My advice to you is to think about how many social media channels you use during the day and try to prevent this.
