Morning detox: the secret to purity and harmony
Health and beauty in perfect balance
Morning is an opportunity to reset your body and fill yourself with energy. A morning detox is becoming increasingly popular among those who want to keep their bodies in shape and start their day with a burst of vitality. A proper routine helps eliminate toxins, improves overall well-being, and gives you a fresh start to the day. ELLE offers a few practices that will make your morning routine the perfect start to your day.
Lemon water — the first step to awakening
The first thing recommended for an effective detox is a glass of warm lemon water on an empty stomach. Lemon water activates metabolism, stimulates the digestive system, and improves liver function. This simple step helps the body wake up and begin the day with cleansing, creating favorable conditions for the detox process ahead.

Green smoothie — a balance of vitamins and minerals
After the lemon water, you can move on to a nutritious breakfast filled with green ingredients. A smoothie made with spinach, celery, cucumber, and avocado, with added chia seeds and spirulina, is a true elixir for your skin and body. This drink is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and minerals that boost metabolism and give your skin a healthy glow.

A cup of herbal tea as the final detox step
You can complete your morning detox with a cup of herbal tea. Teas made with ginger, mint, fennel, or dandelion help rejuvenate the body, provide antioxidants, and support the digestive system.

Physical activity — a boost for cleansing
In addition to your detox program, physical activity plays an important role. Engaging in daily morning exercise—whether it is yoga, gentle stretching, or a walk in the fresh air—helps stimulate blood circulation, improve lymphatic flow, and activate the body's natural detoxification processes. Combined with breathing exercises, a morning workout provides a sense of lightness and clarity that lasts throughout the day.

A morning detox routine is more than just a trend. It helps maintain overall health, improves mood, and boosts energy levels. Regular attention to your internal state is also reflected in your appearance: your skin becomes clearer and fresher; puffiness and breakouts diminish, and a natural glow emerges.
Incorporating these simple steps into your morning ritual allows you to start the day on a clean, balanced note, benefiting not just your body but your soul as well.
