Proper nutrition during detox supports your body's healing process and can help ease withdrawal symptoms. Understanding what to eat—and what to avoid—makes a significant difference.
Hydration is paramount during detox. Water, herbal teas, and broths help flush toxins and prevent dehydration. Avoid caffeine and sugary drinks, which can worsen anxiety and sleep problems.
Protein-rich foods support tissue repair and stabilize blood sugar. Lean meats, fish, eggs, and legumes provide essential amino acids your body needs to heal.
Complex carbohydrates provide steady energy without blood sugar spikes. Whole grains, vegetables, and fruits are excellent choices that also provide fiber and essential vitamins.
B vitamins, often depleted by substance use, support nervous system function. Leafy greens, whole grains, and eggs are good sources. Supplements may also be recommended.
