You don’t have to change your entire diet. Sometimes one thing is enough: start adding herbs. Spring is the ideal time for a small “reset”. After winter, the body is slower, heavier, and spring herbs can naturally start it up. And the good news? A few simple habits are enough, warns the website.
The most common ones – such as dandelion, nettle or clover are literally loaded with vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, substances that support detox. They help the liver to get rid of toxins, digestion (less bloating) and immunity after winter. And at the same time, they can relieve inflammation or seasonal allergies.
The easiest way to get started:
- dandelion tea – liver and digestion support
- nettle tea – energy, vitamins, immunity
Just replace your morning coffee or one drink a day and the body will feel it.
Put the herbs straight on the plate
You don’t have to cook anything special. Just try adding:
- dandelion leaves or violet for salad
- nettle in the soup
- clover or other herbs in regular meals
You will immediately get more nutrients and a more pronounced taste without extra effort.
Homemade pesto or smoothie
If you want to go a level higher:
- replace the basil with nettle or dandelion in the pesto
- add herbs to smoothie
Infusion = herbs infused for several hours (or overnight). This is how you get the maximum amount of active substances from them. How to do it: 2 spoons of herbs in a liter of water, cover with boiling water, leave them there overnight. Then sip throughout the day as a natural vitamin drink.
