How To Detox In Just 24 Hours

What is a detox anyway?

In the medical realm, the word detox refers to the removal of poisons from the liver. When it comes to our health and wellness, this is much closer to what we usually think of as detoxing. A detox usually means we are trying to get rid of certain nasties in our diets, to improve our wellbeing. 

A detox is an invitation to eat better and become more body-aware. What it can help you do is make careful choices about what you put into your body, with the intention of breaking habits that stop you living life to the fullest. 

We’ve all probably heard of friends detoxing from social media or sugar, or used it ourselves. At PRESS, we like to think that as much as we’re removing, we’re also adding vital nutrients. Our summer detox plans are designed by nutritionists to ensure they’re macronutrient balanced, and filled with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants; making sure you stay nourished and full of energy.

What are the benefits of a detox?

A detox is about taking back control. You might have noticed your snacking is out of control. Maybe you keep craving sweet things. 

A detox doesn’t ban a food for life, and it doesn’t have to be about being hungry. Instead, it creates a period in which you eat nutritious food and get back in touch with your intuition. It’s a reset you do for you. 

Many people on detox meal plans report: 

• Clearer skin
• More energy
• A better understanding of what their body needs. 

Some people come to a detox with weight loss in mind – it can lead to sustainable, healthy weight loss, but it doesn’t need to be about that. It’s about putting good things in your body so you glow on the outside. 

After making this step for yourself, you may well find this commitment towards more mindful living ripples into other areas of your life, from your work to your relationships. 

Is it Good to Detox?

Whether you’re partied out or are simply feeling sluggish and flat, the best way to supercharge your system can be with a 48-hour detox. Not only do you push the reset button, but you also receive a stark reminder of just how healthy your body can feel when it’s fed healthy foods and is well hydrated. 

How to do a 24 Hour Detox

But what if you don't have time or money for a 48-hour detox? We've got you covered with the below 24 hour guide.

Our One Day Detox Plan

6.30am - Wake up with a ginger super shot to give you a natural energy boost. Some like to add to hot water for an Autumnal warmer.

7am - Mornings can be the best time of day to incorporate a little meditation. Research shows that people online spend at least 1-3 hours scrolling through social media, most of which begins as soon as we wake up. Not only does this cloud our thoughts but has been shown to decrease mental health and increase anxiety. Calm the mind with simple meditation and prepare yourself for a successful day ahead.

8-9am - Feel smug that you’ve eaten your greens by 9am with an Easy Green Juice! Leafy greens provide a source of plant-based iron which fights fatigue and the accompanying lemon aids with absorption of iron from the gut.

10-11am - Mid-morning, and it’s time for Clean Carrot make your skin glow. The bright orange colour of carrots comes from their high content of a special antioxidant called beta-carotene which precursor to vitamin A, an essential nutrient needed for the production of healthy skin cells. This critical vitamin can also help to keep our skin firm and healthy and without it, our skin can become dry.

11-12pm - Get active! Exercise can be just what our body needs to boost blood flow. Take things easy whilst on the 24-hour detox, a brisk power walk can boost the heart rate without overexerting yourself.

12-1pm - Enjoy a warm bowl of creamy roast tomato soup which is nourishing and warming. The bright red pigment comes from an antioxidant called lycopene, which is currently under research for supporting a healthy heart. A great source of fibre and low in saturated fat yet bursting with flavour - you can’t go wrong!

2-3pm - Simple stretches mid-afternoon are key, to keeping energy high and feeling at the top of our game. 

4-5pm - Refresh with a Probiotic Water. Dehydration can result in low energy, headaches, poor memory and lack of concentration. This hydrator is the perfect way to get you back in the game.
