3 Ways to Detox for Fall

Fall is an ideal time to think about new beginnings and that includes changing how you live your life. Here are three ways detoxing can help you become healthier – and we’re not just talking juice fasts.

Take Simple Steps

Detox can mean changing how you eat, drink, exercise, manage pain and use text or email¬–even how you organize your home or work. After a summer of parties and barbeques, start eliminating toxins from your body simply by taking a break from alcohol during the week. Also try skipping deserts for a month and cutting down on sugar. Your liver and immune system will thank you.

Detox hack: Start your day by sipping a cup of warm water with lemon. And take a pledge to stop drinking out of plastic bottles.

Detox Clutter

Getting rid of clutter in your office, on your computer and in your home, is an excellent way to detoxify. Home and office organization expert Tracy McCubbin, founder of dClutterfly, points out that people accumulate clutter for different emotional reasons, such as guilt, sentimental and frugal clutter. Letting go of clutter we don’t need makes space for a calmer and more serene home and work environment.

Detox hack: It might be time to accept that you made a bad purchase decision and let the treadmill or bread maker you never use go. Donate to someone who will use them or to a local school or senior residence.

Tame Your Stress

Fall is also a good time to tame the stress in your life. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Turn off your computer, phone and TV before bedtime and minimize your screen time during the day. Exercise is a proven way to reduce stress and anxiety in your life. Join a yoga class, take up tennis or simply make time for a brisk walk or workout everyday.
