14 ways to cleanse and de-bloat before the holiday madness sets in—and just in time for those family photos
That little space between leftover Halloween candy and Thanksgiving stuffing and gravy offers an opportunity to support your gut, balance your body, and get your system ready for the next onslaught. Two weeks before the holiday, get prepared: detox (before you retox) with these 14 tips.
1 Rethink caffeine.
Caffeine is a powerful diuretic that can burden the liver and tax the adrenals. Try a morning brew that enhances immune function, clears toxins, and hydrates cells: Simmer sliced ginger root in hot water, then add turmeric and lemon juice for their anti-inflammatory and liver-supportive effects. Or swap coffee for tea (or at least one cup of coffee for a cup of tea). It’s lower in caffeine and rich in protective polyphenols.
2 Boost your bugs.
