The Best Thanksgiving Detox
So the leftover turkey is in the fridge, the trash is full of empty wine bottles, and the idea of starving yourself and staying in bed all week sounds tempting, especially since you’ve been in sweatpants for the last 48 hours because pants that button sounded implausible. Welcome to the days after Thanksgiving, otherwise known as the days of painful bloating, undeniable sluggishness, and mild (or extreme) regret. We’ve all fallen victim to exclaiming “I can never eat again!” after Thanksgiving dinner or feeling lethargic and regretful for days after.
It’s no surprise that binge diets and total starvation are popular trends following the holiday. Juice cleanses, those “lose weight quick” diets, and every type of weight loss program will boom, and guilt-ridden dieters download MyFitnessPal, join weight watchers and eat salad for lunch as a means of “atoning for their sins.” But no matter what you eat on Thanksgiving (or how much of it), these panic driven decisions are unnecessary (and might even be damaging).
SOL SPA, the 24 hour smart spa, has a much healthier suggestion! We have produced an excellent “Hot Detox Yoga” program designed to provide an amazing workout with a great detox effect based on the use of a flow of postures choreographed for detox and practiced inside of an infrared sauna. This, paired with our Detoxify, a 14-day detoxification system, can get you looking and feeling amazing after over doing it this Thanksgiving.
SOL SPA’s 14-day Detoxify is not a fad diet designed to temporarily shave off a few pounds, though it most certainly will! It is the amazing natural ability of the body to renew and recharge itself. Just as you would spring clean and maintain your home, SOL SPAs Detoxify cleans and maintains your body.
SOL SPA’s Hot Detox Yoga postures and twists help to stimulate our organs, including the organs responsible for elimination, which in turn can help stimulate our metabolism and rate of excretion. Twists also stimulate circulation; release tension in the muscles of the spine, abdomen, and ribcage; and help to create heat. This paired with the 125-degree infrared heat emitted in our infrared saunas, combine to give you the perfect hot detox yoga environment.
So, don’t make any rash decisions while you’re feeling guilty about indulging this Thanksgiving. As you make your way to better health, find some time to focus on yourself. Any activity that you can do to rest your body or relieve stress will help with the detoxification process. Come spend just an hour in SOL SPA, the 24 hour smart spa, and enjoy a Hot Detox Yoga and Hot Chakra session followed by a massage, then polish it off with the perfect tan! You’ll leave feeling better than you did before your Thanksgiving regrets, and you’ll keep coming back for more. Let us get you started with everything you need for your 14-day Detox journey and beyond!
We hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving holiday and are thankful for all of our SOL SPA members and staff!
