One of the most popular trends in the world of healthy eating and fitness right now centres around cleansing your diet. If your diet is not in the healthiest position right now, you’re certainly not alone.
But there are simple and concrete steps you can take to make your diet healthier and cleaner, and those are the things we’re going to talk about more today. So read on to find out more.
Take steps to banish any reliance on processed foods
Taking steps to banish your reliance on unhealthy processed foods is one of the first steps you can take if you want to cleanse your diet. Instead choose natural plant-based ingredients to create your meals and snack on fresh fruits and vegetables instead of heavily processed packaged snacks and food.
This kind of natural diet has grown in popularity over the last few years and it’s something you too might want to embrace. By cooking your own meals and only using fresh ingredients, you can right away banish most processed foods.
Make drinking water a priority
Drinking more water is one of the best things you can do for your health, and it’s one of the best ways to cleanse your diet too.
If you want to make sure that you feel alert and energised throughout each and every day, you also need to make sure that you’re keeping yourself properly hydrated, so drink plenty of water continually throughout the day.
Keep it eco-friendly by carrying a reusable water bottle with you instead of buying plastic bottles constantly. Glass water bottles are great for fresh tasting water. How about distilling your water at home if you don’t like the taste of your tap water?

Find ways to get more greens into your diet
If you know that your diet in its current form is lacking a lot of the nutrients and greens that it needs, it’s up to you to make a positive change.
Even if you don’t like green vegetables, there are ways of getting more of them into your diet.
Veg-based smoothies can taste great, so don’t dismiss the idea of adding greens to your diet. You can make really tasty smoothies and juices easily at home yourself.
Experiment with different flavours and don’t forget about green veg. There are so many delicious green vegetables that exist and once you get a taste for them you’ll see how delicious they are!
Try out intermittent fasting for weight loss
If you want to lose weight and you want to help your body feel fulfilled without making yourself feel lethargic after meals, you might want to consider intermittent fasting.
This is when you confine your eating hours to around an 8 hour window. That means for the other 16 hours of the day, you don’t eat any food at all. It’s a good way of shifting fat and feeling healthier.
I already did this naturally, without knowing it was a diet fad! I eat lunch at 12pm and dinner at 5pm. Then the same the next day!
If I start snacking in the evenings then I notice my weight quickly increasing.
Change your snacking habits for good
The way in which we snack has a big impact on how clean and healthy our diets are. If you’re constantly snacking on processed foods, it’s not going to be good for you.
If you’re doing intermittent fasting, snacking should be massively reduced anyway. But if you’re not, you need to change your snacking habits and only allow yourself to snack on healthy foods.
Instead of buying crisps and chocolate from the shop to snack on, force yourself to buy fruit such as a punnet of deliciously sweet strawberries. Soon it will become your new habit and you’ll no longer crave crisps and chocolate.
A cleansed diet and a cleaner body will help you to feel much better about yourself each day. And you don’t have to only apply these cleansing principles to your diet either. You can also take steps to improve your sleep and change your routines so you feel alert and refreshed throughout each and every new day.
