A light detox for after the Christmas festivities

During the end-of-year celebrations, our livers are often overworked as a result of stress and excessive exposure to toxins. Why not start the New Year with a detox that is entirely based on natural plants? You’ll find a few suggestions for this below.

Eating grapefruit: Have it as a dessert! The grapefruit’s acidity stimulates your gallbladder, facilitating both digestion and intestinal transit.

Consuming plenty of beetroot for the sake of your liver: Beetroot contains two active substances:
1) methionine, an amino acid that facilitates the elimination of toxins from the body;
2) betanin, the main pigment found red beetroot, that helps drain the liver.

Eating prunes every morning: Prunes have been sold as a popular digestive remedy for many years. Furthermore, they contain tartaric acid and sorbitol, both of which have been shown to stimulate intestinal contractions, thus promoting intestinal transit.
