Top 5 Ways to Cleanse Your Body
Top 5 Ways to Cleanse Your Body
1. Remove toxic foods that clog your body!
This seems pretty obvious yet most people have no idea which foods are actually toxic to their body. Start off by limiting (or ideally removing) dairy, refined sugar and starches, and stimulants like caffeine.
2. Alkalize your body
Incorporate more greens into your diet in order to raise the alkalinity level within your body. There are numerous benefits for doing so but none more important the simple fact that your blood needs to be slightly alkaline and that cancer does not grow in alkaline environments. Greens can come in the form of salads, green juices or smoothies, and superfoods like raw sprouts, green barley grass or wheat grass.
Alkalizing foods are also the most cleansing for your body as they are very water-rich.
3. Drink plenty of water
Water is essential to flush out toxins. This is especially important if you are following a cleansing diet as many toxins will be coming out of hiding and may produce various detox symptoms. Water will quicken the removal of this "waste" and clean out your body's pipes.
4. Sweat it out!
One of the ways we detoxify is through sweat. Therefore, anything activity that will induce a good sweat is helpful. Working out, running, yoga, or even sitting in a sauna are great ways to open your pores and expel unwanted toxins.
5. Support your liver
The liver is the major detoxification organ in your body. Too often, most peoples' livers are heavily toxic due to poor diet food choices and other lifestyle stressors such as drinking, smoking, and high levels of stress.
Try starting your day with a glass of lemon water - a very good cleanser of the liver. Other liver supporting nutrients can be derived from drinking dandelion root tea and eating antioxidant rich foods like berries and pomegranate.
Remember, detoxification naturally occurs on a daily basis. So too does toxin production. However, you choose which one will be more prevalent.
