All that food you enjoyed during the holidays may still be affecting your body. If you're thinking of starting a diet, try eating these ingredients for a week first to cleanse your body and achieve the best results.   We all love to eat deliciously and without regrets, and this can always be done as long as we do it in moderation. December is always a time when we overindulge and put more into our bodies than we are used to. That’s why before starting any regimen or diet, we recommend consuming many of these ingredients to cleanse your body as much as possible and start fresh.  

Blueberries

This fruit has the highest percentage of antioxidants found in fruits. These little berries can protect you from oxidation and stress that can later lead to water retention and inflammation.  

Salmon

The high Omega 3 content in this lean protein aids in repairing damaged cells. It also helps control muscle inflammation, which is why eating salmon can not only help you feel energized and light, but it is also attributed with anti-aging qualities.  

Herbs

Fresh spices like thyme, oregano, and parsley are rich in carotenoids, which are the cellular building blocks that form vitamins A and C. Both are well-known for helping and improving the human immune system.  

Turmeric

This spice may be a bit exotic, but you can find it in any specialty supermarket or stores that sell Eastern foods. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cleansing superpowers derived from this ingredient help improve digestive, renal, and kidney functions.  

Water

Remember, staying well-hydrated means having more energy, being less prone to illnesses, and having better skin health. Additionally, drinking at least two liters of fresh water a day helps cleanse our bodies of impurities, so it’s important to do this year-round.
