January inevitably brings plans of weight loss, healthy eating, more exercise and detox and whether you’re aiming for a full blown detox or just hope to cut out the 3 o’clock office chocolate run, we’ve got some tips to help you!
1. Drink More Water 
We’ve all heard enough times how important it is to keep your body hydrated and the seemingly impossible 2 litres of water you should be drinking each day and there’s no getting away from how simple and effective it is. It helps to flush the toxins out of your body, make you feel generally better and more fresh and rehydrates and plumps up skin.
If you find 2 litres of water too boring to drink alone you can always try a herbal tea, which unlike traditional black tea, contain no caffeine or toxins and contain various natural ingredients offer even more benefits than just as the water. Alternatively, you can try a PURE Spa staff favourite and add a slice of fresh lemon to a mug of boiled water. Boiling the water purifies it even more and offers a great comforting drink in the morning when you’re craving caffeine while the lemon not only makes it a bit more exciting but is proven to detox and flush the body of harmful toxins.
2. Sleep Better 
Sleep is the most natural way to repair and refresh the body but are you sleeping properly? Studies have shown that most people are not getting a good quality of sleep as they tend to go to bed too late and without unwinding. Simple steps like reducing evening internet browsing and after hours working and taking time to relax in the evening by taking a bath or reading a book will allow the brain to slowly relax and prepare for sleep. These steps matched with a sensible bed time will mean your brain and body are ready for bed meaning sleep will come quickly and easily to you and you will experience a good quality deep sleep leaving you fully recuperate from the previous day.
3. Take Time Out 
While evening relaxation will aid your sleep, giving yourself some relaxation time throughout the day and at the weekend is also generally key to any healthy and balanced lifestyle as it gives your mind and body the chance to recuperate and avoids stress and anxiety. The important thing is that you take the time and spend it how you wish whether it’s going for a run, attending an exercise class, watching trashy TV or having a beauty or spa treatment. This is exactly why PURE offer flexible beauty and spa treatments that fit into your personal needs. We know that while some people may have a whole day spare to relax others may only have 20 minutes! Even if you do only have 20 minutes- just taking that time out will give you a huge boost.
4. Avoid Unnatural Products 
While we’re all aware of how many toxic chemicals we’re putting into our body, how much do you think about what you’re putting on the outside? Many body and skincare products contain unnatural chemicals and toxins that penetrate the skin and end up inside your body- just like the caffeine in that cup of coffee you denied yourself! Choosing a natural body and skincare range such as REN or Elemis avoids this issue by boosting your skin with natural ingredients that are positive additions to your body.
5. Eat Well and Exercise 
Yes, it’s a no brainer but you don’t have to clad yourself out in the latest sports wear and be at the door of the gym for opening with a carrot in hand to be healthy. Just changing a few simple habits like snacking on fruit rather than chocolate when you have your mid afternoon slump and walking to work rather than driving will improve your general health and energy levels.
6. Get a Regular Massage 
Massage is loaded with proven health and well being benefits. The pressure and oils force your body’s toxins to come to the surface allowing them to be flushed from your system (especially if you’re good and follow the after care advice to drink lots of water!) while the essential oils penetrating the skin offer great health benefits. Regular massage can also aid back problems and reduce stress and anxiety levels so your mind will be left feeling detoxed as well as your body! A great at home tip to accompany regular massage is also to body brush as the pressure and movement of the brush improves blood circulation, releases toxins and generally invigorates the body (it’ll leave your skin super soft and attack your cellulite, too- always a bonus!)
