How to detox body

The liver is responsible for many important functions which affect the entire human body

With all of the environmental toxins and hidden poisons which most of us encounter and absorb into our bodies on a daily basis, it is very easy for the liver to become toxic itself.

For this reason, it is crucial to know how to aid this most important of organs in flushing unwelcome materials out of itself and out of the body

Detoxification is like giving your body an inner makeover.

It’s about cleaning out those unwanted toxins that are detrimental and harmful to your health.

This means feeding yourself a proper diet, participating in exercise, adding other healthy habits to your lifestyle, and bringing your alcohol/drug use to a halt.

Essentially, doing all this will clean out the impurities in your blood and allow your body heal itself.

Depending on your level of addiction, it is always wise to consult with a doctor before trying to detox on your own.

If your addiction is severe, you may need medical help to begin the process.

Along the way, you may experience nausea, vomiting, headaches, sweats, and other unpleasant symptoms as your body starts shedding the unwanted chemicals.

These are to be expected since you are cutting your body off from its fix.

If the symptoms worsen, please seek medical attention.

 

Here are some of the tips for Detoxification:

1.Start your mornings with a glass of room temperature lemon water.

(Room temperature is important, since cold foods and drinks can shock your system and cause the digestion process to slow down.)

Squeeze half a lemon in and wait 15 to 30 minutes after drinking it to eat breakfast.

Why it’s so good for you: Lemons are packed with nutrients and immunity boosters like vitamin C, potassium and pectin fiber, which curbs hunger cravings.

They also help speed up enzyme function and stimulate the liver so your body can flush out toxins.

“A plant-rich diet full of organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes is naturally detoxing.”

4.Get your probiotics.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a good bacteria that lines the gut membranes and aids in eliminating toxins. You can add the powder form of it to juices and shakes, or eat it in the form of sauerkraut or yogurt.
