Are you sluggish? Do you have low energy? Do you suffer from frequent headaches? It might be time for you to start detoxing! In this blog you will find simple, but effective things you can do every day to help your body cleanse itself of unwanted toxins. But you may be wondering, why is this important? Why should YOU worry about detoxing?
That’s a great question! When we remove toxins and feed our bodies the proper nutrients, detoxing helps protect our bodies from disease and renews our ability to maintain good health. Our liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin are all elimination channels for toxins trapped in the body. Cleansing and detoxing helps to pull those toxins from our cells to process them for elimination. Therefore, when any part of our body’s elimination system is compromised, the toxins aren’t filtered out properly and every tiny cell in our body is negatively affected. As you can see, elimination of toxins is vital to achieving optimum health. We need to nourish our bodies from the inside out!
Daily Detox Tip #1: Drink 16oz of room temperature water with the juice of ½ lemon upon waking every morning
Lemon water helps stimulate and detoxify the liver, wakes up the digestive system, and alkalizes the body.
Daily Detox Tip #2: Reduce caffeine, alcohol, and cigarette use
Caffeine, alcohol, and cigarettes are toxic overloads to our system that interfere with our natural detoxification process.
Daily Detox Tip #3: Add leafy green vegetables into your diet
Greens contain essential nutrients for our bodies to cleanse and detoxify. The darker the green the more detoxifying it is!
Daily Detox Tip #4: Increase water intake
Hydration is key! In order to properly flush out excess waste and toxins, our organs must be hydrated at all times.
Daily Detox Tip #5: Manage Stress
Stress is a major deterrent to good health. Large amounts of stress hormones in the body create toxins and slow down liver detoxification enzymes. Deep, slow breathing is an effective way to manage stressful situations.
Daily Detox Tip #6: Break a sweat
Because skin is our largest detoxification organ, we must eliminate toxins through perspiration. Hop in a sauna or exercise to make sure you are perspiring every day.
Daily Detox Tip #7: Decrease dairy consumption
The protein in cows’ milk, casein, is too difficult for our bodies to break down and digest. Consuming dairy on a daily basis will leave waste residue in the body and cause toxic build up.
Daily Detox Tip #8: Eat lots of fiber
Whether its fiber from vegetables or brown rice, fiber binds to toxins and pulls them out of our bodies, eliminating them through our digestive tract.
Daily Detox Tip #9: Eat organic as much as possible
Because environmental toxins are enough for our bodies to deal with, we want to reduce the toxic residue that we are consuming from our food.
Daily Detox Tip #10: Incorporate dry brushing
Dry brushing stimulates our lymphatic system to stir up toxins from our cells for elimination.
