After the excesses of the end of the year and the lack of exercise, nothing like a small detox cure to feel lighter and good in your body. Healthy and easy menus, well-being gestures, it's time to declare war on the toxins that clutter the body and take the opportunity to eliminate the extra pounds that spoil morale. Nutrition expert, Lineavi has concocted a week-long well-being program for us to resume healthier eating habits and gain vitality. 
The principle:the Lineavi detox cure is a nutritional program in three phases whose objective is to rebalance the body, put the digestive system at rest, drive out toxins from the body and in the process eliminate the small superfluous kilos. /strong> 
To take full advantage of your treatment, we focus above all on a detox diet:
exit dairy products, red meats, wheat, coffee or even confectionery or pastries.
These "stress" foods weigh down the digestive system and tire the body, which then has to break down everything to assimilate the nutrients.
So it's best to favor easily digestible foods, such as fruits, vegetables, vegetables, white meats and products made with almond milk, rice or soy which are perfect alternatives to dairy products. In addition to food, it is also recommended to adopt good beauty and sports reflexes . 
Thus, a dry massage with a vegetable sponge or alternating hot and cold water while showering for example not only help to stimulate blood circulation, but also tone the skin.
Sport in the great outdoors will reduce the effect of cortisol - the stress hormone - stimulate the digestive tract and make the skin appear fresher .
As the body needs to focus its energy on this major cleansing, nutritionists recommend in particular starting the detox cure on the weekend, away from any source of stress. 
Elimination phase – days 1 to 2 
The program starts with the elimination phase and three fruit and vegetable shakes a day as well as an afternoon snack. This phase allows the metabolism to rest and to relieve the main metabolic organs such as the intestine, the liver and the kidneys.
Why not start the day with an infusion of hot ginger with lemon juice and a half - teaspoon of honey? Ginger is not only an excellent stimulant, with its anti-inflammatory properties, it protects the immune system and helps to replenish energy naturally.
