Fasting and the monodiet:resetting the counters to zero

The skin is often a reflection of our lifestyle and our diet. If she is particularly present at the moment with some irregularities, imperfections, a dull complexion... it is because the body has accumulated too many toxins (and small end-of-year excesses) that it is struggling to eliminate. . Embarking on intermittent fasting or a mono diet is a good way to help your body eliminate and purify itself, without depriving yourself of anything. The idea? Recharge the batteries and clear the air to better relieve your body. There are many beneficial effects, such as greater energy, more radiant skin, a better functioning digestive system. The principle of the mono diet is to eat only one food, preferably raw, for one to three days (grape, apple...). You can also opt for a cure of fruit and vegetable juices, for one to five days, with special cold-pressed juices, like at Atelier Nubio for example. Of course, it's up to you to adapt this mono-diet to your rhythm, your body and your desires, such as one day a week, or one meal a day. Intermittent fasting, on the other hand, involves taking a real food break. It can be practiced for 16 hours, 24 hours or 2 days a week, according to Claire Andréewitch in her book Révélez votre glow (at Marabout). If you choose to fast for 16 or 24 hours, the principle is not to eat anything, but of course to drink water and hydrate yourself. For the 2 days a week option, this is to eat for 500-600 calories, and normally the other 5 days.

 Episode #1:the counters at zero

A detox drink:turmeric, lemon &ginger

To help the body cleanse itself and to purify the liver, one can drink a hot drink made from turmeric, lemon and ginger. Ideally, we drink it for 3 days, in the morning on an empty stomach, to help the body recover. The combination of turmeric, lemon and ginger is ideal:turmeric provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, lemon detoxifies and facilitates transit and ginger strengthens the immune system.

To achieve it, nothing could be simpler. Boil water before adding a sliced ​​organic lemon, sliced ​​ginger (to be peeled before), 1/8 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and honey for the greedy (optional).
