When it comes to eating foods for more energy, Rabess recommends choosing complex carbohydrates over simple carbs and sugar hits for slower releasing energy.

And, she warns, it’s definitely worth staying away from juice cleanses. “We need to pull away from this idea that you can detoxify, cleanse or reset your body by any sort of diet or juice cleanse,” she says. “It’s about what you can add into your diet, not what you can take away.
