Why detoxify your body? First of all, summer is around the corner and the last thing you’d want to feel is bloated. Drinking plenty of fluids and cleansing your body using the right natural tools can prevent that and restart your body in the very best way.

Generally, people tend to confuse thirst with hunger. This causes over-eating, eating poorly, and ultimately weight-gain. That’s why it’s so important to stay hydrated especially in the warm weather. Be sure to drink a glass of water before and after each meal. 8-10 glasses of water is the daily recommendation.

In order for your body to perform at it’s optimal rate so you can look and feel your best this summer, follow these 5 simple steps to detoxifying your body.

What Does Detox Mean?

To detox the body–known as detoxification–is to remove toxins from the body through the liver. This can be done physiologically with a specialist, or through natural medicine.

By using the foods we eat and vitamins for supplementation, we can naturally cleanse the liver and restart our bodies to its optimal performance.

Why Detoxify Your Body?

The following are the benefits of detoxification:

  • Weight loss and weight management
  • Regular digestion promoting regular bowel movements
  • Improved immune system
  • Higher energy
  • Improved mood
  • Clearer thinking
  • Clear skin and healthy hair and nails
  • Youthfulness
  • De-stresses

5 Ways to Detoxify Your Body

1. Eat a lot of fibre

brown rice, organically-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. These specific foods are well known for detoxifying the body. Try to eat beets, cabbage, broccoli, radishes, cauliflower, artichokes, spinach, and kale.

Foods high in fibre to detox your body:

  • Kidney beans and black beans and split peas.
  • Whole grains, brown rice or wholegrain rice
  • High fibre seeds like flax seeds and chia seeds.
  • Nuts such as almonds, pecans, and walnuts.
  • Dried fruit
  • Bran cereal, porridge, and oatmeal
  • Fresh fruits and veggies (the darker the colour, the better)

 

2. Cleanse Your Liver

Clean and protect your liver with herbs such as dandelion root, milk thistle, turmeric, burdock root, and green teas.

One of my favourite ways of cleansing is by doing a 30-day teatox.

You’ll also want to try this Immune Boosting Green Smoothie with superfoods for detoxing, or this powerful yet simple Fat Burning Cabbage Soup.

3. Consume Foods High in Vitamin C

It will help the body produce glutathione, which is a liver compound that will drive away toxins and clean you out. Lemon is great for detoxifying when added to a glass of water or a hot tea.

Detox | How to Detox | Liver Cleanse | Get Rid of Toxins | Body Cleanse | Stomach | Bloat | Herbs | Detoxing | Detox Tea | Detox Foods | Detoxing Vitamins | Weight loss | Health | Healthy Living | Immune Boosting | Immunity | Gut Health | Gut Flora |

Foods high in Vitamin C include:

  • Spinach and kale
  • Bell Peppers
  • Kiwis
  • Oranges
  • Strawberries
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Papayas
  • Tomatoes
  • Guavas

Vitamins to supplement with while detoxing:

  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin B complex
  • Vitamin C (absorbic acid)
  • Vitamin D
  • Vitamin E
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Protein
  • Omega 3 fatty acids
  • Iron

But, Here’s The Thing. Many of the vitamins and minerals you purchase in store or online are man made (synthetic) and are not properly absorbed in the body for maximum benefits. Ultimately, its your money down the drain as your body excretes them.

Powerful Raw Organic Multivitamin Supplements

Soul Life’s Cellenda and Rekick are a combination of all natural, raw and organic vitamins and minerals that will help you balance hormones naturally, regulate thyroid function, and reduce inflammation in the body. All ingredients are natural and powerful for the body, holistically speaking.

And that’s only one ingredient in Soul Life’s life-changing supplements.

4. Breathe Deeply

It allows oxygen to circulate completely throughout your body. Many people use meditation to help rid the body of toxins and naturally heal the body.

5. Prevent Stress

Emphasize positive emotions in your life and practice hydrotherapy–take a hot shower, allowing the water to run down your back for about 5 minutes. Follow with cold water for at least 30 seconds. Do this before you go to bed.

Alternatively, simply take a warm bath while playing relaxing music which will create a calm environment.

You can also use an essential oil diffuser in your home that can have a variety of de-stressing benefits while promoting relaxation.

Essential oils For Detoxing and Relieving Stress:

Rose, lavender, chamomile, lemon, frankincense, bergamot, marjoram, geranium, cinnamon, fennel, rosewood, and ylang ylang.

 

You can detoxify your body in many ways. You can make smoothies with detoxifying ingredients.

Remember to drink plenty of water, use detoxifying teas and herbs, and keep your diet high in fibre. Going to the washroom is a good thing. It means your body is ridding toxins and flushing you out. You will feel and look your best.

I know these tips will work for you. Let me know in the comments below of your favourite way to detox.

    It’s ramadan for us Muslims where we fast from before sunrise to sunset and I can say without a doubt that your statement of ” we confuse thirst for hunger” couldn’t be more true!! I’m realizing how much I smacked when in fact I should have grabbed a glass of water because after I end my fast, I’m more thirsty than hungry even after not eating all day.

    My fav detox is lemon water.
