6 Simple Steps To Detox Your Body


By Matthew Dillon

Even though there are numerous good detoxification programs available, many are difficult to incorporate into your day to day life. Today we'll detail a simple detox plan, that you should be able to easily adapt your lifestyle to.

-Look to consume lots of fruit and vegetables. You should also eat plenty of nuts, beans, whole grains and lean meats. If you can, try to find those foods that have been naturally processed, without the use of any harmful chemicals or treatments.

-Every few days, you need to drink at least half of your weight in fresh water (with a little lemon juice added to it if you want). The days in between, aim to take in at least 8 glasses per day.

- Stay away from alcoholic beverages, refined sugar and caffeine products like coffee and chocolate. Sweeteners like agave nectar, stevia and honey are acceptable, but not artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Equal or NutraSweet, since these contain toxins.

-Help your body excrete existing toxins by consuming a fiber additive like flax seed or psyllium. Both of these are great ways to add fiber to your diet and work naturally with your system. You should have at least a 5 gram capsule daily.

-You need to exercise to see the best results of a detox. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals and toxins through your sweating. Exercise also helps your circulatory system by getting more oxygen into your blood. You should aim for at least 30 minutes of continuous exercise between 3 and 5 times a week.

- Take hot salt baths and saunas as they will help toxins sweat themselves out of your body. Remember to drink additional water before, during and after taking them to prevent dehydration.

Anyone can follow this easy and inexpensive detox plan, and set themselves on the road to good health by doing so. Really, you have no excuse not to. By delaying or making excuses, you're only putting your long term health in danger. So, why not begin now? You'll start feeling healthier and more energetic within a week!
