Tet is not only a gathering occasion but also a time when the body is easily overloaded due to irregular eating and irregular living. Therefore, housewives are very concerned about detoxifying the body for everyone in the family.
Consuming a lot of protein, fat, and sugary foods along with alcohol and beer can cause the liver, kidneys and digestive system to work too hard, leading to feelings of fatigue, internal heat and acne. Therefore, proactively detoxifying the body during Tet is necessary to maintain health.
First of all, the most important thing in the detoxification process is to maintain a reasonable diet. This depends a lot on how housewives prepare food during Tet.
In the Tet feast, housewives should balance between nutritious dishes and cool foods. Increase green vegetables and fresh fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, watermelons, apples... to help provide fiber and vitamins, supporting the digestive system to function more effectively. Fiber helps cleanse the intestines, reduce toxin accumulation, and limit the feeling of bloating and indigestion often encountered during Tet.
Besides, drinking enough water is a simple but extremely effective detoxification method. Water helps the liver and kidneys eliminate waste from the body through sweat and urine.
During Tet, in addition to filtered water, housewives can supplement vegetable juice, herbal tea or warm lemon water to support the detoxification process. However, it is necessary to limit alcohol and beer, carbonated soft drinks because these types of drinks increase the burden on the liver and cause dehydration.
In addition to eating, maintaining gentle exercise also plays an important role in detoxification.
Simple activities such as walking, cleaning the house, or doing stretching exercises help boost blood circulation, support metabolism and detoxify through the skin. At the same time, getting enough sleep and on time helps the body have time to recover, especially the liver - the body's main detoxification organ.
Finally, detoxifying the body during Tet does not mean fasting or applying extreme measures. The most important thing is to listen to the body, eat regularly and live a healthy life.
