Yes, you can reset your body without doing a cleanse

Yes, you can reset your body without doing a cleanseYes, you can reset your body without doing a cleanseIts entirely normal to get off track from time to time. And everyone does because - surprise - no one is perfect. The challenge, though, comes when you want to preset that proverbial reset button because we often go overboard, forcing ourselves into full-on cleanses that our bodies ultimately reject.So instead of traveling down this uncomfortable (and, often times, unsuccessful) path, consider the simple daily rituals below. Implement them for a brief period of time just to get yourself back on track, but then, if you find that theyre really working for you, add them to your typical routine for consistent energy and a happy digestive system.1. Have a cup of hot lemon water in the morningMost people dont realize it, but lemons are all-stars for the digestive tract. They are extremely detoxifying and help to keep the bodys pH in balance. While theyre a citrus fruit, lemons actually have an alkalizing effect on acid in the stomach, helping to calm down things like acid reflux flare-ups. Starting the day off with a hot cup of lemon water wakes up your digestive system and helps to reset it before asking it to process everything else you will consume throughout the day.2. Eat fresh, raw fruits or vegetables before having a mealStarting off a meal or your day with some raw fruits or vegetables is a great way to kick-start your digestion. It gets the wheels turning and allows your body to get ready to digest the more complex things that you will consume later on. Also, the fiber helps to keep you a bit fuller so that you dont overeat. This ritual can be as simple as eating a few carrot sticks or a small salad before your typical meal or having an apple as an afternoon pick-me-up before you start to crash. They are refreshing, delicious and make you feel clean from the inside out.3. Take a daily probiotic supplementProbiotics help to balance out the good bacteria i n your gut and keep your digestive system happy. There are tons of probiotic supplement options to choose from, so read up on what will work best for your body. Its such a simple thing to add to your daily routine that makes such a big difference, so why not start now? We also like eating probiotic-rich foods like kimchi and kefir to snag some the natural way.4. Take a shot of apple cider vinegarWhoever came up with the saying, An apple a day keeps the doctor away, was onto something. This simple, overlooked fruit is a powerful player in digestive health. And apple cider vinegar is an internal superhero in itself. Go for the organic, unfiltered kind like Braggs, and use it as a tool to calm stomach acid or heartburn and kill bacteria in the body that can leave you feeling icky and your skin looking dull. Take one tablespoon straight or dissolve it in a little water to subdue the burn. (And always be mindful of your tooth enamel if you prefer it in shot gestalt) Start your day off wi th this ritual or do it whenever youre feeling like you need a reboot.5. Keep ginger candy handyGinger chews can come to your rescue if youre feeling nauseous or your stomach is upset. Ginger has tons of health benefits, especially for the stomach, but no one really wants to carry around a fresh knob of the aromatic root in their bag everywhere they go, so snag some ginger candies instead. Theyre perfect in a pinch when youre out and about and your digestive system isnt happy with you. Pop one for almost instant relief. Seriously, ginger candies can work tiny miracles when you need them most.This article was originally published on Swirled.
