A lot of people tend to get confused about what these are. The main purpose behind cleansing is getting rid of toxins and all that bacteria that accumulates, hampering your body’s performance daily. But did you know, there are certain kinds of bacteria that are actually beneficial to you? These kinds are known as probiotics and your body consumes them from various food sources. Probiotics are like tiny monsters lurking inside your gut that are waiting to eat up all the prebiotics, which are complex carbs, fibers that the body cannot digest on its own. So both work in a pair. Having enough of both is what facilitates your cleansing, hence, what you need to incorporate in your diet is food such as oatmeal, bananas, berries, onions, and garlic etc.
Leafy Greens and Chia Seeds
Yes, we are asking you to add more paalak and other green veggies to your diet as much as you can, irrespective of how much you hate them. Because they are super-duper rich in antioxidants and make your gut squeaky clean. Chia seeds are commonly known as tukhm-e-balanga, they are the tiny dots your amma might put in your Roof-Afza during Ramadan to set you off. Carrying great digestive properties though, the omega 3 fatties that they carry play a crucial role in reducing inflammation of the gut.
What to avoid?
So it’s not all about adding things to your diet, consuming stuff, a successful cleansing routine also requires you to subtract certain foods and beverages that you might be very fond of.
