Exercise: it’s part of the “yeah yeah, I know” healthy living laundry list: eat clean, drink more water, manage stress, get plenty of good quality sleep, and move your body. We all have our own reasons to exercise - to stay healthy and fit, build and maintain muscle mass, for weight control, mood, cardiovascular health, stress relief… and of course that endorphin rush!

The 10-day spring detox is over! We feel lighter, more energized and focused, and we hope you do too — so let’s talk about how to keep the benefits going!

Whether you’re a busy New Yorker or a busy anywhere else-er, we get it — not everyone has time to prep their own meals!

Below, we’ve highlighted our favorite restaurants and cafes around NYC, where you can grab a detox-friendly meal in a pinch. And if you’re outside NYC, check to see if any of these have locations near you, or check out their menus for inspiration

Spring is officially here — the perfect time for a seasonal detox! The Daily Benefit Detox is based on a simple formula: We start by focusing on nutritious whole foods and avoiding foods that create inflammation, the underlying cause of most unwanted symptoms. We then support liver detoxification with our Daily Benefit 10-Day Detox Set. Whether you’re experiencing sluggishness, brain fog, digestive distress, fatigue or symptoms like joint pain, weight gain or dry skin, a diet that replenishes our cells with vital nutrients can have you feeling recharged by the end of the 10-day detox!

It’s both a cliche and a fact - viruses are more virulent in the cold weather. So when the temperatures plunge, our attentions naturally turn to doing all we can to evade the office flu and dodge fellow commuters' coughs until the warm weather returns again. While we can’t completely avoid getting exposed to cold and flu viruses, there is plenty we can do to fortify our immune systems to help prevent infection, or at least stop it in its tracks.
