5 Good resolutions to make in 2018

Holidays rhyme with "letting go" food

The holiday season is upon us and already we are preparing the menus for the various festive days we will experience. As important as the race for gifts, the end-of-year meals are always very unfrugal. Indeed, very often, at this winter time of the year, we anticipate gaps in both food and drink. Generally, you will find shellfish, foie gras, smoked salmon, sometimes even caviar or oysters, but also alcohol, chips, appetizers and sweet delicacies that you cannot afford to miss.

This time of year is usually symbolic of a "let go" diet where we allow ourselves to deviate much more than we would during the year. It's as if it was written in the books of our customs. Nevertheless, after these few days of holiday meals, you will have to think about taking care of yourself and your digestive system for a return to normal. Indeed, the liver - our primary detoxification center - will be heavily impacted by these hygienic and dietary deviations.

From then on, the 1th of January always sounds like the beginning of good resolutions. Moreover, detox ideas are often proposed in women's literature, on the internet in various blog articles or on Youtube.

My 5 effective resolutions for 2018

What if this year we focused our intentions on healthy living? Generally, we join the gym and start a restrictive diet. Two resolutions that ultimately have very little result. So this year, let's opt for an effective and healthy solution for our health and well-being.

Here are the 5 resolutions I plan to implement as of the beginning of 2018:

  • I commit to eating more organic fruits and vegetables throughout the day. I will choose to have fruit as a snack so it doesn't get mixed in with my food bowl. I will opt for gentle steaming for my vegetables. If my digestive system allows it, I will eat a raw vegetable salad before my meals every day.
  • I am committed to incorporating good polyunsaturated fats such as omega 3 into my diet. I will not use them for cooking, only for seasoning. I will try to reduce saturated fats as much as possible. In addition, I will make a conscious choice when purchasing my consumer oils.
  • I am committed to learning how to read labels to consume consciously. I don't let myself be influenced by marketing and advertisements. From then on, I will discard, among other things, the bad sugars that are harmful to my physical health and my metabolism. In order to feel good in my body, I will avoid industrialized food and ready-made meals. Lasagna, soups, cookies and breakfast cereals should be avoided.
  • I am committed to taking care of my liver using gentle methods while not imposing too many daily dietary changes. Then, I will limit junk food and prefer a bitter tea to sweetened and carbonated drinks.
  • I commit myself to appreciate life for what it is worth and to limit negative thoughts and angers that have a negative impact on my metabolism and my liver. To release the stagnant energy in my liver, I commit myself to try alternative therapies such as reflexology or shiatsu.

This list is not exhaustive because there are many good resolutions to make at the beginning of the year for good health. Do you have any tips for a healthy start to the year?
