I'm updating last year's autumn detox and it occurs to me that I need to do some proper research on good Swedish products and supplements, as much of what I used last year is unavailable here in Sweden. I've spent a lot of time finding the best in California that has high quality for a reasonable price and now I have to do the same again here. Something I have already learned, however, is that in general (unfortunately) what is most expensive is usually also the best. In that case, I have to decide which products and supplements I really need!
This autumn's detox may include the following products and supplements: local, preferably organic produce (if available), protein powder from fish or cows, vitamin D, probiotics, CaMg, vitamin B complex and cod liver oil.
However, the most important thing about an autumn detox is not what I put in my mouth, but what my body absorbs from what I put in it. I will be excluding allergens such as gluten, dairy, soy products, nuts, alcohol, caffeine (and in my case coconut) to give my body a real break. When these allergens are later reintroduced, it will be easy to see if I have developed a hypersensitivity to any of them.
To get the best results, I also need to take care of myself during these weeks. This means cooking with great care, sleeping long enough at night, meditating and moving during the day.
But above all, I need to be prepared and motivated! I know what a great result detoxing gives and I also realize that I will need new energy in the autumn, as I am no longer used to autumn darkness and bad weather.
Thought of the day:
Why not boost yourself with some new energy before the old one runs out?
This article is part of The 50 day challenge, where I challenge myself to write an article a day for 50 days! The articles can be about anything, short or long, but I can't miss a single day!
With love, Johanna.
