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.
-Look to consume lots of fruit and vegetables. You should also eat plenty of nuts, beans, whole grains and lean meats. If you can, try to find those foods that have been naturally processed, without the use of any harmful chemicals or treatments.
-Every few days, you need to drink at least half of your weight in fresh water (with a little lemon juice added to it if you want). The days in between, aim to take in at least 8 glasses per day.
-Stay away from alcoholic and caffeinated beverages. If you have to add a sweetener to a drink or meal, use naturally derived products like honey, agave nectar or stevia.
- Take a fiber supplement, such as psyllium or flax (which can both be found in the health food aisle of most grocery stores) in the evening before going to sleep. Each capsule should contain about five to eight grams of fiber and should not have any food colorings or sugar added.
-You need to exercise to see the best results of a detox. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals and toxins through your sweating. Exercise also helps your circulatory system by getting more oxygen into your blood. You should aim for at least 30 minutes of continuous exercise between 3 and 5 times a week.
- 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.
Anyone can follow this easy and inexpensive detox plan, and set themselves on the road to good health by doing so. 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 start feeling healthier and more energetic within a week!
