Our modern, city lifestyles flood our bodies with toxins and pollutants. Failure to remove these contagions from the body can result in various immunodeficiency, inflammatory and degenerative diseases. These can range from mild allergies and arthritis to more severe diseases like Alzheimer’s. The good news is, you can make detoxing part of your daily life by implementing a few small lifestyle changes that make a BIG difference.
How to Make Detoxing Part of Your Daily Life
The World Health Organization estimates we have over 700 chemicals in our bodies. That’s far too much for our liver and kidneys to expel from our bodies without a helping hand.
#1 Eat Your Antioxidants
Protect your internal and external youth and vitality by eating a diet rich in antioxidants such as berries, citrus fruits, carrots, pumpkin, spinach, wheatgrass juice and sweet potato. Vitamins C, glutathione, and Vitamin E do a brilliant job of neutralizing the free radicals in our bodies.
#2 Hello, infrared saunas!
The process of sweating excessively in infrared saunas purges metals and chemicals from your fat cells and kills infections in the body, including parasites.
#3 Reduce Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol puts a considerable strain on the liver, taking much-needed energy from elsewhere in your body which leaves your immune system weakened.
#4 Coffee Enema and Liver Flushes
Coffee enemas and liver flushes are rumored to be a fast fix for your liver to ‘dump’ its toxic content for elimination.
#5 Drink Clean
Drink only pure, bottled water. Tap water can be riddled with chemicals and parasites – yuck!
#6 Detoxify Your Home
Remove toxins from your home by switching chemical-heavy cleaning products for natural alternatives.
