What is detoxing?

So what does detoxification really mean and why is it important? As the name suggests, detoxing aims to help the body rid itself of toxins. The human body has many natural pathways to allow detoxification through liver, sweat, urine, faeces and more. But fast urbanization and exposure to pollutants, heavy metals, preservatives and pesticides has taken the average toxin consumption by human beings to an all-time high. These toxins get stored in tissues and cells of our bodies and manifest in harmful metabolical, reproductive and mental health effects. In serious cases, these toxins can also lead to cancerous consequences. By detoxing your body you help the vital organs cleanse themselves of the toxins, and enable the liver to function appropriately in excreting them.

Signs that you may need to detox

Some signs include: Weight gain, increased belly fat, skin rashes, feeling tired, irritability, brain fog, insomnia, cravings, bad breath, low Libido, immune weakness etc.

Some lifestyle changes and precautions that will help you with De-toxing

Cut your Sugar intake

One way to do a healthy detox? Simply start by decreasing the amount of sugar you consume. (And that includes honey, molasses, and artificial sweeteners.) When you *really* just have to have something sweet? Instead of routinely reaching for a doughnut, cookie, or cupcake, swap in a healthier alternative, “Recent research suggests that just a small amount of dark chocolate (with at least 70 percent cocoa content) helps curb both our sweet and salty cravings.” Another option is to grab a piece of fruit; the natural sugars will nip the need for sweetness and curb your craving, adding cinnamon instead of sugar to foods, as it helps to control blood sugar while simultaneously satisfying a sweet tooth. Try sprinkling it on oatmeal or plain yogurt, or add a dash to your coffee.

Drink enough water

Hydration could quite possibly be the best healthy detox you’ll ever give your body. (Don’t like it plain? These fancy products turn water into a healthy drink). Your body depends on water to survive and every single cell requires it to function.

Move your body

Regular exercise is a form of healthy detox as it encourages circulation in the blood and lymph system. Doing so will also enhance digestion, reduce tension, lubricate joints, and strengthen your body. For that reasons, people who exercise regularly have fewer toxins in their systems than those who don’t. Remember any exercise is better than nothing. Start walking, cycling, jogging, gardening etc.

Drink a lot more tea

“Not only is tea full of antioxidants, it hydrates you (especially if it’s herbal) and fills you up,” plus, you can practice mindfulness with it. “This means you will be less likely to overeat or eat the wrong things.” Keep in mind, the caffeine in tea is different than the caffeine in coffee—it’s gentler on your system, so it’ll give you a pick-me-up minus the jitters.

Eat more fruits and veggies

Swapping out processed foods—that lack the nutrients your body needs—in favor of more fruits and veggies and whole foods will help you feel better. Dark green vegetables, for instance, are full of micronutrients and are very low in calories, so you can eat a lot of them

Combat environmental pollutants

Pollution and allergens are all around you. They’re in the air and can trigger allergy symptoms (such as yucky, puffy, red eyes). stick to areas that are well ventilated, and not close to air pollution industries etc.

Sweat it out

In a Sauna, in the gym, etc. Saunas are a staple of the wellness culture in countries like Sweden and Finland for good reason: Sitting and sweating it out can help you detox via sweat loss, plus it has skin benefits, to boot. The infrared kind? Physical therapy centers have been helping athletes with pain relief and recovery for years via infrared light therapy which can stimulate your body’s circulatory system and oxygenate your body’s cells (read: better blood circulation).

Exfoliate your skin

“Skin brushing and oil massages will help exfoliate the toxins from your skin and refresh circulation,”

Eat more often

Skipping meals can slow down your metabolism and make you firmly believe the world *seriously* owes you food. The result? You’ll end up consuming way more calories than you would have if you weren’t so famished in the first place. Make regular eating a habit.

Stick with the plan. Shake, snack, shake, snack and then a healthy supper.

Get your sleep

Although good sleep hygiene is as important as regular exercise and a healthy diet, it often gets shorted in our hyper-driven society. In reality? It’s in and of itself a healthy detox. After all, poor sleep is a big cause of ill health in our culture. “Consider a sleep reboot where you eliminate caffeine and alcohol, have a regular bedtime, avoid late meals, and ban TV, computer, and smartphone screens for at least two hours before bedtime.”
