The purpose of detoxing is to cleanse your body internally, especially the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. (The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin.) Detoxing can be a good way to start a weight loss program.
A good detox program can help to improve the body’s natural cleaning process as it is able to help the organs rest through fasting, stimulate the liver to drive toxins from the body, promote elimination through the intestines, kidneys and skin, and improve circulation of the blood.
An easy start to detoxing – increase your fiber
Eating more fiber – as long as you increase your water intake as well – will help to flush your body of toxins. Beets, radishes, artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, chlorella, and seaweed are all excellent detoxifying foods.
You also want to cleanse and protect the liver by taking herbs such as dandelion root and milk thistle. Green tea is also productive for this, and you can either drink green tea hot or cold, or take green tea supplements.
Taking Vitamin C will also be helpful to you here, as this will help your body to produce more glutathione, which is a liver compound that helps to drive away toxins. Stressing is also very hard on your body, so you should try to relax as much as you can. You can do this by emphasizing positive emotions, and practicing relaxing exercises such as yoga and pilates.
Meditation is especially beneficial for this and will help to relax your body and mind. You may also want to practice hydrotherapy by taking a very hot shower for five minutes, allowing the warm water to soothe your body and caress your skin.
If you’re considering going through a detoxing program, see your doctor first.
