While performing Ashtanga yoga, we cleanse our body of all the toxins from the sweat. Practising Ashtanga yoga on a regular basis can help you cleanse your body. However, the only way to maintain that cleanse is by eating food that compliments your body.
We all read proverbs about how food should complement the body, cleanse it and so on. Nevertheless, the thing about proverbs is that they tell us what to do and not exactly how to do a thing. So, we did the research for you!
Food is something a body requires to stay alive. Even though that is something we all know, we normally do not realize it. Rather than eating to keep the body functioning, we eat to please our taste buds. Although, there is nothing wrong with the latter it is also important to keep the former in mind. Our body normally eliminates all toxins with the process of digestion. Some food tends to make this process easy for our body. These food items are something that most of us have in our regular diet but tend to ignore their importance in the diet. Below is a list of foods that help your body flush out those toxins and cleanse itself.
Blueberries: Blueberries are not just packed with fibre but are also low in calorie. You can have plain blueberry for your morning breakfast or add it to your salad or smoothie for a change.
Avocado: The best way to incorporate Avocados in your diet is to make Guacamole. Add some level and parsley to some smashed avocado to have a savoury dip whenever you need. Alternatively, you can also use Avocado in salads or toasts.
Lemons: Lemons change a dish completely, don’t they? However, you may not know that lemons are also great for cleansing. Start your day with some warm lemon water. You can also add honey to it for a little sweetness!
Oats: Oats are a great addition to the diet if you are looking for a diet for cleansing. Oats are very versatile and can be added to the diet as both a savoury and sweet component.
