While many detoxification programs exist that can help you cleanse your body, many people don’t have the time or the means to undertake them. However, here we present an easy detox plan that consists of small changes to your diet and lifestyle that will cleanse your body of toxins and make you feel better.
- Only consume natural foods like fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, and whole grains. Eat organically as you can, so that no pesticides, hormones, or herbicides enter your body.
- Drink plenty of water; ideally equal to half of your body weight in ounces at least once per week.
- Stay away from alcoholic beverages, refined sugar and caffeine products like coffee and chocolate. Sweeteners like agave nectar, stevia and honey are acceptable, but not artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Equal or NutraSweet, since these contain toxins.
-Help your body excrete existing toxins by consuming a fiber additive like flax seed or psyllium. Both of these are great ways to add fiber to your diet and work naturally with your system. You should have at least a 5 gram capsule daily.
- Exercise on a regular basis to improve your blood circulation. Half an hour to an hour of exercise 3-5 times a week is recommended, but if you are just starting out, begin slow and build up to this goal.
- Take hot salt baths or saunas to discharge toxins through sweating. Keep in mind that you should drink a lot of extra water so as to avoid the effects of dehydration.
Implementing these simple methods in to your daily routine will see you reaping many health benefits. Really, you have no excuse not to. By delaying or making excuses, you’re only putting your long term health in danger. So, why not begin now? You’ll not only feel better, but will look better too!
