Post-Vacation Cleanse
After a break from your diet routine, your body is craving a detox. In your first few days back, drink peppermint or dandelion tea. These decrease bloat and relieve water retention from the excess salt you likely consumed while dining on vacation.
Limit eating out to control the salt and fats in your diets and eat raw vegetables with every meal. The fiber load from these veggies will help to keep your body regular and give you a boost of energy for workouts.

After 2 to 3 days of being back in your routine you can begin to cleanse your body. Two options to try include:
1. Drink your meals for a day and then fill up on lean proteins, grains and vegetables.
2. Spend 3 or 4 days juicing or filling up on nutrient-rich smoothies. If you're new to cleansing, buy pre-bottled juices from stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joes.
Cleansing can be a quick and simple way to get in shape before and after your vacation. Always educate yourself and remember that eating healthy and exercising is always the best way to look your best.
