A hearty meal with the whole family is something everyone enjoys a lot. But quite often, we continue savouring heavy meals and munch on holiday treats for much longer than we should. While we know that these foods are comforting to a lot of you during these tough times, a cleansing diet is overdue.
Cleansing or detox diets do not need to be as restrictive as you originally thought. There is no need for you to stick to a strict diet of fresh-pressed juices all day through to clean out your system. At our healthy cafe in Dubai, we encourage a mix of solid and liquid foods that are not just good for your body but tastes awesome as well. In this blog, we wish to introduce you to the benefits of detox meals and the latest dishes you can try out at our healthy cafe.
Benefits of a detox meal
As you may have already guessed, a detox meal will get rid of the many toxins in your body that have been accumulated through unhealthy eating habits. A good detox diet will rejuvenate and energize your body and improve your body’s overall functioning.
Studies show that removing toxins from your body leads to healthy and glowing skin, increased absorption of nutrients in the digestive system, and increased metabolism. The rich antioxidants in your detox diet will also improve blood circulation, repair your vital organs and boost immunity. So, the idea of a detox diet is to get back into a healthier lifestyle. With mindful eating habits, you appreciate and take care of your body better than before.
What to expect from our healthy cafe
The 100 Cafe was designed with the idea of encouraging healthy and mindful eating among the people living in the UAE. We’d like to believe that the clients who visit our wellness centre in Dubai have already taken the first step towards better health and lifestyle. With their constant support and well wishes, our healthy cafe is now serving detox meals, with a focus on fresh ingredients, full of flavour and joy.
The healthy cuisine we provide is specially created to not only feed your body but nourish the soul. The dishes are delightfully light, tasty, and they cleanse your body of all the toxins you consume unknowingly.
At our cafe, you will find dishes that are a fine blend of natural ingredients sourced locally as well as from around the world. Aligned with the teachings of the Holy Quran, we have incorporated all kinds of foods in moderation, without compromising on nutrition. At the 100 cafes, there is something good for everyone- from dairy-free and gluten-free options to vegan options, you will find foods that are non-restrictive, yet catering to your specific needs.
