Detoxification Support

Our bodies have an incredible and intricate system that allows them to get rid of toxins.

What Is Detoxification?

It is the process of removing toxins from your body. Whether these are toxins made in the body by your metabolism or something external, toxins need removing.

How Are Toxins Removed From the Body?

Your kidney and liver are responsible for removing the toxins in your body.

First, your liver finds the toxins before breaking them down and filtering them through the kidneys. Your kidneys also regulate the amount of fluid you have in your body.

Once toxins have been removed from your blood, you get rid of the toxins through your urine, feces, and sweat. Did you know that sweating helps to get rid of harmful heavy metals?

Everyone's body has a different level of ability to remove toxins from its system.

What Are Toxins?

There are numerous substances considered toxic for the human body. These can be found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and even the everyday products we use on our skin.

Here are some examples of toxins found in these things:

• Chemicals from petrol fumes 
• Tobacco smoke
• Alcohol 
• Industrial emissions 
• Pesticides 
• Herbicides
• Heavy metals
• Fertilizers
• Chemical compounds in beauty products

We can't avoid every single toxin; it will inevitably enter our bodies. We need to ensure we get rid of them.

If toxins stay in the body, they get stored in the fat cells, leading to inflammation and long-term illness.

Although there are many detox diets and juice cleanses out there that claim to give your body a detox, diet, and lifestyle are the best way to help your body detox.

There are some simple steps you can take for natural detoxification.

Diet

Cut back on heavily processed and sugary foods. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and plant-based proteins such as beans, lentils, nuts, and pulses. These foods are all anti-oxidant rich and contain the nutrients your body needs to function optimally.

Exercise Regularly

Sweating is an excellent way for your body to release any toxins built up in the system. Exercising also boosts your lymphatic system, which helps with detoxifying. 

Water

Stay hydrated; drinking enough water is very important for your body to cleanse. Your kidneys need plenty of water to flush out the toxins through your urine. 

Supplements

You can use certain supplements to help support your body's natural detoxification process. Green supplements such as chlorella are a great way to naturally support detoxification. 

Make Healthy Choices
