Your body is filled with different toxins that you get from the food you eat, the products you use, and even the environment that you are in. However, when these toxins accumulate in the body, they can compromise your immune system and cause harm to your body. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) reports that up to 85% of most diseases are due to toxins and pollutants. The good news is that through detoxification, you can lead a better and healthier life.
Here are 7 simple ways that you can continuously cleanse your body.
HYDRATE! HYDRATE! HYDRATE!
Water is absolutely one of the best things that you can take to naturally detox your body. You should make it a habit to drink at least 3 liters of water per day, as water helps to flush out the toxins in your body and cools it down. In addition, you can also add a slice of lemon or a couple of teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to your glass (or bottle) of water in the morning. This alkaline solution also aids in flushing out the toxins.
TRY OIL PULLING
This is a powerful Ayurvedic technique that can be used to detoxify your body as well as treat other health ailments. This alternative medical practice has been used for years and it works by activating your saliva enzymes that absorb the chemical, bacterial and environmental toxins from your blood. The oil is used to naturally remove the toxins from your mouth, teeth, and gums as you swish it in your mouth. If you are starting out you can try swishing the oil for 5 minutes and then gradually increase it to 15min – 20 mins. Some of the oils that you can try to use are coconut, tea tree, sesame, and sunflower oils.
VEGGIE JUICE ANYONE?
Vegetable juices are an excellent way of detoxing the body. They are an excellent way of giving your body a break and helping your body’s system get rid of any toxins that may be accumulating & reduce any stress and tension. You can include lots of kale, beetroot, spinach, cabbage, celery, wheatgrass, carrots, turmeric, cucumber, and even ginger.
WARM-UP IN A SAUNA
One of the benefits of a sauna is that it can help to speed up the detoxification of your body. The heat increases your body temperature and liberates any toxins from your fat and this gets removed from your body through your sweat. There have also been studies that showed that the infrared sauna can actively work on people suffering from fibromyalgia, heavy metal poisoning, cancer, arthritis, and even Lyme disease in detoxification.
FOOT DETOX
A relaxing foot massage followed by an ionic foot detox is a great way for you to not only relax but also detox your body. An ionic foot detox pulls the toxins from your body through the bottoms of your feet. One of the main functions of the ionic foot bath is that it changes your body’s PH levels and makes it more alkaline. This is key because studies have shown that diseases thrive in an acidic environment, hence the less acidic it is, the less prone you are to get certain diseases such as cancer or osteoporosis.
DO A PURGE OF YOUR KITCHEN & BATHROOM
Your environment contributes a lot to the number of toxins you interact with and absorb into your body. The kitchen, bathroom, and even your bedrooms are high-density areas that you should constantly clean and “purge” from harmful products & items. Studies by environmental groups show that there are over 2000 harmful chemical ingredients in products that we use with many of them not undergoing proper safety testing. You should consider switching to all organic products as well as properly researching the ingredients that go into the products that you constantly use.
LIMIT YOUR SUGAR INTAKE
Refined sugar isn’t just “sweet” but large consumption can lead to illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, dental cavities and has even been linked to cases of depression. You should try to cut down on the amount of processed sugar that you take & instead opt for more natural substitutes such as honey, maple syrup, or date sugar.
