【Post-festival Detox】Tips from Dietitian Celia – Detox with High-Fiber Foods

2020-8-13

It was so hard to resist all the traditional treats during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many of us are suffering from bloating and constipation because of overeating and inadequate fiber intake. The accumulation of waste in the body also makes our skin dull. How can we facilitate body detox?

100g of fruits and vegetables contain about 0.4-6.7g of fiber. A tablespoon of chia seeds contains 5.2g fiber, which is even higher than a piece of banana. Since the taste of chia seeds is really mild, they go along well with many different foods, for example you can add them to lemon water, breakfast cereals or even desserts to increase fiber content.

On the other hand, probiotics is also a key to a healthy gut. There are good and bad microorganisms living in our gut. Probiotics are the good ones that maintain optimal pH and aid digestion. Yogurt products contain plentiful of probiotics which help the growth of good microorganisms. It is important to read nutrition labels before buying them as the sugar content and energy can vary a lot between different products.
