While detoxing may be the new health trend, traditional detox diets propound the use of a liquid-based diet alone. However, liquid diets are not only grossly inept at sustaining our bodies throughout the day, they are also just vaguely successful at the actual detoxifying. Thus, they fail to adequately address the need to purify the system on a daily basis.

We give you a simple and adaptable solution. Kick start your way to a healthier lifestyle with tea detox, or as it’s popularly known, Teatox. Teatox works on the principle of adding a few cups of tea blends and herbal infusions to your existing diet. Detoxing with tea is emerging as a more effective form of detox since it doesn’t involve making any changes to your daily diet.

So, how do you start your teatox plan? Detoxing your body with tea consists of drinking 4-6 cups of tea every day. From morning cup of tea on awakening to a cuppa before the bed, drinking tea all day is a lifestyle change that is easily adaptable. We suggest you six time periods in a day for an ideal tea break – morning tea, breakfast tea, noon tea, post-lunch tea, evening tea and post-dinner tea. Nutritionists say that drinking tea can boost your detox system if you choose the right variety of tea. If you happen to be a tea lover, include more cups of herbal blends throughout the day. If you have the caffeine sensitivity, you can include tisanes/pure herbal infusions in your diet.

Tea’s health benefits are documented to be wide-ranging; from lowering the risk of heart disease to increasing mental performance, tea comes equipped with fighting diseases and promoting a healthier body. However, tea alone isn’t enough for a detox but is made effective by drawing on the power of herbal infusions and blends to serve the purpose. High quality teas are excellent at supporting the natural detoxification process of the body. Even basic green and black teas are so rich in antioxidants that they are adept at supporting the cleansing process of the body. Antioxidants are known to reduce oxidative stress in the body, thus helping prevent inflammation and other chronic diseases.

Going green is good not just with your vegetables but also with your tea — the greener the better. So try to pick tea brands that are natural and as clean as tea should be. Believe in teatox. Follow this routine for 7, 14, or 28 days at a time and see the benefits that are presented to you.

Remember that, like any other detox, it’s vital you change up your food plans too. To reap the true benefits of your teatox diet, stay away from processed and fried foods and make more space for raw food, whole grains, veggies, fruits and lean protein in your diet. If your diet is gentle on your body and clean, detox teas will enhance your natural purification function and lead to a healthier you.
