After the Winter, it is common for everyone to start rethinking their food and worrying about Summer. Besides the aesthetic factor, there is also the health issue, because in the heat season we do not need as many calories as in the cold. Just like nature and its seasons, our body also changes and often needs some changes in our eating routine. Thus, we’ll tell you about cleanses for Summer and how to detoxify your body and prepare it for this season.
Cleanses for Summer: dangers of a poor diet
By following an inadequate, nutrient-poor menu that activates detoxification or after overloading the body with toxins, we begin to accumulate in our cells substances that will affect our general health.
Some symptoms such as muscle pain, migraines, bitter taste in the mouth, physical and mental fatigue, digestive disorders, weight loss, poor memory, increased cellulite may appear.

- Green teas and horsetail tea: both kinds of tea have diuretic action, and this helps to eliminate toxins as well as relieve fluid retention.
- Crucifers: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, turnip and radish are rich in sulfur, a mineral that helps in detoxification.
