10 Steps To Full Body Detox
You've done a body detox plan before and notice the results
wears off not too long afterwards. What's the problem? The reason
is that as soon as you stop using your body detox plan, you
immediately start putting toxins back in your body. While our
focus is on permanent elimination, adapting certain tips in your
daily life will help your body stay cleansed. They are as
follows:
1. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. This is one of
the most basic recommendations. However, the amount is no longer
eight glasses a day. The recommended amount is your body weight
divided by 2 in oz. of water. For example, if you weigh 100
lbs/2=50 oz of water.
2. While water inside your body is a good way to detox, using
water on the outside of your body also helps. Try a hot shower
for five minutes, alternating a few times with cold water for 30
seconds. Take a rest for 30 minutes afterwards. This will extend
the results of your home body detox.
3. Look for ways to bolster a clean liver with
herbal
supplements and drinking green tea. Your natural food store can
make recommendations. Your liver plays an important role in
keeping your body working properly.
4. Eat foods which are naturally detoxifying, such as leafy
greens and seaweed. Bulk up on fibre. Try to stick to organic
fruits and vegetables. Stay away from caffeine, sugar and
nicotine.
5. An OJ a day does keep the doctor away. Actually, juices are
high in sugar, but make sure to take plenty of
Vitamin C. This
helps the liver function also.
6. Sweat it out........literally. Perspiration is one way your
body naturally removes waste. Try sweating in a
hot tub or sauna
to help eliminate toxins.
7. Take a deep breath. The deeper you breathe, the more oxygen
circulates in your blood and helps keep it clean. This is one of
the easiest ways to promote health. When you breathe deeply,
your stomach should come out as you breathe in and deflate like
a balloon when you breathe out.
8. Exercise, exercise, exercise. This is still one of the best
ways to remove toxins from the system and help increase energy
levels. Yoga is highly recommended, as well as other eastern
forms of exercise which specifically have movements to promote
detoxification such as qigong.
9. Learn to deal with stress. High levels of stress cause
hormone changes which actually can hinder the detoxification
process. Dealing with stress effectively aids in
natural body
detox. Try meditation or therapy. A couple of minutes daily can
make all the difference in the world.
10. Exfoliate your skin by dry-brushing. Don't use any salt or
sugar scrubs, as these may have chemicals in them that will harm
your body. You can also purchase special baths to help eliminate
waste through your pores.
All these recommendations are important to keep your body
cleansed. While you may not be able to do them all at once,
slowly incorporating them into your daily routine helps bolster
your chances for success.
