detoxify and for the central nervous system to recuperate and recharge.

more toxins that naturally occur during the exercise and other accumulated
toxins get expelled from the muscles.
Certain foods are difficult to digest and have a stimulating affect, they
should therefore not be consumed in the evening, they are mainly meat,
spicy foods, caffeine and sweets. Stick mainly to evening meals consisting
of good carbohydrates, lettuce is also very good to promote sleep.
Sleep with the window a little open and if possible with the head pointing
to the North or East and the feet towards South or West. For the last hour
before going to bed don’t watch or read anything too violent or negative
and avoid getting irritated by conversations or thoughts, start entering a
state of calmness.
