Detox your body for the New Year
A new year brings new changes. Whether it's planning a trip, taking guitar lessons, or losing weight, humans seem to want to make changes as they look toward the year ahead. This change sometimes involves detoxifying your body.
Indeed, many people promise to "cleanse" their bodies. This cleansing requires a change of habits and an awareness of what we use on our bodies and how we nourish ourselves. Detoxification can extend as far as choosing who we want in our lives and how we let the outside world affect us.
A very important part of this "cleansing" aims to eliminate toxins that have accumulated in our bodies over the years. The effects of our toxic world, processed foods, and high stress have negative consequences on the body, and slowly but surely, our energy diminishes and our body begins to suffer.
Below are some tips for regular cleansing and detoxifying your body:
- Drink warm purified water with lemon juice to alkalize the body, cleanse and stimulate the liver, and promote digestion.
- Drink juices made from leafy green vegetables. The chlorophyll they contain adds important nutrients to the blood and helps promote regularity.
- Add more fiber to your diet, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, and lentils.
- Exercise regularly. The lymphatic system stores toxins during exercise and subsequently releases them into the circulatory system, where they are processed and eliminated. Exercise also helps eliminate toxins through sweating.
- Go to a sauna, take a steam bath, and a hot bath. The skin eliminates more cellular waste through its pores than the colon and kidneys combined.
- Add plants to your home and workplace. They filter toxins from the air and add oxygen.
- Reduce your consumption of caffeinated beverages. These are stimulants and highly diuretic products that can cause constipation problems and slow liver function.
- Do not eat when you are stressed, as this state can lead to poor digestion, poor elimination, and weight gain.
- Make sure to have 2 to 3 bowel movements per day to eliminate all toxins from your body.
- Re-evaluate your morning routine. The shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, body lotion, and makeup products you use daily are among the most significant sources of toxin exposure.
- Eliminate foods containing suspicious ingredients, artificial colors, sweeteners, chemical additives, and preservatives.
