As the heat starts to die down so do the summer holidays. With the holidays at an end, residents of Dubai are back from their long vacations and times of indulgence, and begin to immerse themselves into their daily lifestyles.
Health starts to take precedence and with it comes a detox - the purification of the body. With the abundance of junk food so easily available, the challenge is to stray away from unnecessary munching.
With busy social lives and long work hours, diets can be painstakingly difficult to sustain and as a result people opt to cheat and choose shorter bursts of detox. The following below are ideal ways to help the body detox and rebuild the immune system:
Raw food diet
Takes 3-5 days to take effect and includes indulging in oils, nuts, fruits, vegetable and liquids that are free from all the chemicals without disturbing the nutritional harmony needed by the body. The raw food diet is followed mostly by yogis as it helps with the removal of heat from one’s body and improves mental strength and concentration.
Atkins diet
People jumped on the bandwagon when Hollywood celebrities started swearing by it. The premise behind the Atkins diet is healthy weight loss through a diet very low in carbs and rich in protein and fat. Today’s Atkins focuses more on lean proteins, healthy fats, and high-fibre vegetables as part of the plans.
Juice cleanse
Juicing, very similar to the ‘Raw Food Diet’, helps cleanse the body by avoiding all unnecessary fats and oils while increasing the fibre intake through fruits and veggies. This remains a very effective method to regulate the gut.
