Tips to help your body detox
Hydrate and flush out toxins
We can’t get enough of water. It’s comprehensive; water is the major component in our bodies, about 75%. Extra salt, sugar, and alcohol can dehydrate your body. Start the day with a tall glass of lukewarm water with lemon or a warm cup of tea. Try to drink up to 100 ounces to flush everything out. Incorporate Green Tea into your diet. This is a powerful antioxidant source that will get you get rid of free radicals. We recommend drinking 2 to 3 cups a day. Another recommended tea is Dandelion Root Tea, as it focuses on liver detoxification.
Exercise
No wonder this little (sometimes dreaded) fellow keeps showing up in on our lists. Exercising is definitely the best thing for your overall physical and emotional states. The term “sweat it out” exists for a reason. Sweat is one of the best mechanisms the body has to get rid of toxins. Working out hard will make you sweat out those toxins and also increase the levels of endorphins in your blood. These will make you feel energized and help you keep up the good detox work.
Sleep like a baby
Sleep is one of the most important things you can do to regenerate and restart your body. Make sure you get back to your normal sleeping cycles, to get your body back to its regular circadian rhythm. Try to sleep for 8 to 10 hours at a minimum. Go to bed early, in a dark room with no distractions. That means no TV, no phone, no computer and also as little everyday stress as possible. Try to leave your work worries at work, and to go to bed as light-minded as possible. Meditation, exercising, yoga, laughing and enjoying your favorite hobby will help you relieve stress. Your body will be forever grateful with good night sleep.
Healthy eating
There is no magic trick, it all comes down to what we eat. We are what we eat. Many powerful green juices will help you detoxify your body. These juices usually include greens like celery, cucumber, spinach and fruit like lemons, apples, and pineapple. These are vitamin filled potent detoxifiers that will get your liver and kidneys a boost. Add to your diet other green veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains. If this is a life defining moment for you, then start gradually. Learn quick, easy recipes, fall in love with your local green smoothie store, do whatever but do it!
