International Detox Day
January 5 · Level 1 · #2189 of 2238
This unofficial holiday is for anyone who feels the need to eat simply after the New Year feasts. The idea is to give your body a breather and ease back into a normal routine.
How it is celebrated: people eat light meals such as vegetables, fruit and plain porridge, and drink plenty of water and unsweetened tea. Some pick a kefir-only day, and others just go for a long walk to shake off the holiday sluggishness.
Kefir comes from the North Caucasus and is made with kefir grains, a living mix of bacteria and yeasts. That is one reason it is a go-to drink after heavy holiday meals.
