How to Detox
Posted on January 20 2021
With so many health benefits associated with giving your body a full, detoxifying cleanse, many people want to know how to detox.
After all, who wouldn’t want to get more energy, lose weight, reduce bloating, ease constipation, suffer less headaches and get more sleep?One of the many common myths about detoxing is that you must follow an extreme diet, or fast your body, to get the best results, but that’s not true.
Your body has several natural functions designed to cleanse your system and flush out all the nasty toxins and other harmful waste products that can cause health problems.
The trick is supporting these systems, through good nutrition and sensible lifestyle choices, to help them do their jobs to the best of their ability.
So, before you reach for the blender and embark on a seven-day extreme juice diet, have a look at our tips below, as we take a closer look at how to detox.
HOW TO DETOX YOUR BODY
Detoxing properly isn’t just about what you consume. You’ve got to create the right conditions and environment within your body to optimise your success. Here are some things you should focus on:
1. GET PROPER SLEEP
Much of the hard work your body does to detoxify takes place when it’s in a state of rest. So, regularly getting a good night’s sleep is vital.Sleeping allows your body to process and remove the toxic waste by-products it has accumulated throughout the day, as well as allowing your brain to reset and recharge.
If you don’t get enough sleep, your body won’t have the chance to perform these vital functions, which over time can build-up and lead to longer-term health implications.
Heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity have all been linked to poor sleep, which can also cause stress, anxiety and mental health issues.
2. EAT ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants are potent nutrients which protect your cells against damage caused by oxidative stress from free radicals.When your body produces too many free radicals – from poor diet, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption – these harmful molecules cause damage to our cells, which the body needs to work harder to repair.
Over time, this can cause a host of health issues including dementia, heart disease, liver disease and asthma.
Eating enough antioxidants – either through a healthy diet or natural supplementation – can help your body combat the stress caused by excess free radicals, along with other toxins that can increase your risk of chronic disease. Look for foods that are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
3. EXERCISE MORE
Alongside diet, regular exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.It promotes healthy heart function, which, in turn, keeps the blood pumping to all your major organs so they can function correctly.
When it comes to detoxifying, regular exercise helps to reduce inflammation within your key body systems, which means your organs, including your liver, don’t need to work as hard to function normally.
HOW TO DETOX YOUR LIVER
Your liver plays a key role in detoxifying your body. It’s the organ that breaks down the harmful toxins found in the blood and flushes them out. So, keeping your liver in tip-top condition is vital if you want to detox. Here are a few tips:- WATCH YOUR ALCOHOL INTAKE
