We all enjoy a little splurging now and then and with Stampede season in full swing it means some of us will be feeling ill very soon.
Whether its one day or several that you decide to enjoy, the options at the Calgary Stampede are most of the time filled with high fat and sugar content with minimal nutrients. This year the options are not lacking with deep fried butter, mini donut popsicles and grilled cheese donuts. Pair this with alcohol and you have a very toxic and dehydrated body.
Docere Wellness is all for having a good time and enjoying a treat now and then so to assist you in recovering from this high fat, high sugar indulgence, we suggest the following ways to stay healthy and recover quickly!
Detox Tips NW Calgary
- DRINK LOTS OF WATER!
This is the KEY to maintaining your weight and your health the next day. Having a hydrated body will enable you to handle a higher fatty diet for a day or two as well as keep the toxins from flowing out and not settling in. - BE ACTIVE!
Stampeding includes a lot of walking and to increase the activity we suggest taking public transit instead of driving down. Get off a block or two before the stampede and walk in and out. This way you will increase your walking to and from the event increasing your ability to burn the extra calories that you may be wanting to treat yourself too. - PLAN YOUR INDULGANCE
We know this does not sound like fun but the easiest way to recover from a few nights on the town is to plan. Be sure to stock your home kitchen with lots of fruits and veggies and cold water to drink in the fridge. This way when you are home the good choices will balance out the bad choices and your body will be able to repair and recover quickly.
By following some easy steps your body can recover quickly and stay on track even in the midst of the Calgary Stampede. Watch our blog and website for our upcoming Stampede Detox! It will get you to your optimal health in no time!
