Prep Your Body For the Party Season
Cosmopolitan India|December 2016

’Tis the season of boozing and giving our bodies a right ol’ beating. To avoid the festive crash, we’ve got the perfect pretox to party-proof your vitals.

Prep Your Body For the Party Season

We could sit here and tell you to make healthy food swaps (choose a protein-rich wrap over a greasy burger and fries) and limit the Cosmopolitans (the ones you sip, not us #obvs), but we all know that ain’t gonna happen. The intention might be there, but it’s out of the window as soon as you get a whiff of LIITs at Social. So, let’s cut the bullsh*t, admit you’re gonna let lose this month, and get your body in fighting shape before the hors d’oeuvres hit the table.

COUNTDOWN TO PARTY TIME

CLEANSE YOUR LIVER

“Your liver is the most important organ involved in detoxification, so your goal should be to reduce any liver-loading substances in advance to give your liver a better chance to eliminate alcohol,” says nutritionist and personal trainer Nik Toth (@theleanbodycoach) “Start off by avoiding processed foods, trans fats, and anything made with synthetic substances or treated with pesticides.”

FILL UP ON

FIbre “Incorporate chia seeds, flax seeds, pats, payllium husk and fibrous vegetables, such as celery, asparagus and leafy greens into your diet,” says Toth. “This will cleanse your bowels, and ensure you digest large amounts of food and drink most effectively.”

HIIT THE GYM

Push your body with some high intensity interval training (HIIT): think 20 seconds of jumping jacks followed by a 10 second rest. You’d spend less time in the gym, but still burn plenty of fat and boost your metabolism. Go hard so that a period of rest come Christmas will actually be beneficial for you.
