Feeling tired lately? Or maybe you’re dealing with skin rashes, poor digestion, fatigue, and low energy? These symptoms may indicate toxin buildup. Over time, the chemicals in food, air, and water accumulate in your body, causing a variety of problems. Some people gain weight and crave sugar more than usual, while others develop skin disorders, sleep problems, hair loss, and upset stomach. Unless you change your diet and lifestyle habits, disease will set in.
So, are you ready for a change? Here are some natural ways to detox your body:
Eat Fresh Produce
Organic and raw produce detoxifies your body and improves overall health. A balanced detox plan should include kale, spinach, collard greens, beets, radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, fruits, and herbs. These foods cleanse your liver and kidneys, support digestion, and slow down aging. As soon as you go on a detox diet, you’ll feel more alive, have younger looking skin, and lose weight.
Stay Hydrated
Water helps your body flush out toxins and create new cells and tissues. If you’re on a detox diet, drink at least a gallon daily. Add lemon to balance your pH and accelerate the detox process. You can even make your own lemonade using water, stevia, cranberries, and fresh lemon juice. This mixture cleanses your colon and boosts immunity.
Drink Green Tea
Green tea has been used since ancient times for its healing effects. This beverage boasts a high antioxidant content and neutralizes free radicals. By drinking at least two cups a day, you’ll have more energy and stamina, eliminate toxins, and shed water weight.
Avoid Processed Foods
Processed foods and detoxification are mutually exclusive. If you want to detox your body, steer clear of sugary foods, chips, pastries, soda, and frozen dinners. Eat local and seasonal produce, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Cut down on alcohol and caffeine. Meat, fish, and dairy should be avoided for a few days.
