What does detox support look like in kids?
Here are some tips to help your kiddo feel their best:
1. Stay Hydrated: Hydration is the foundation of all detox efforts. It keeps the blood and lymph moving, supports kidney function, and flushes toxins from the body.
Quick Tip: Add a pinch of sea salt or trace minerals to your child’s water for better absorption and electrolyte balance.
2. Support Regular Bowel Movements: Healthy digestion is critical for clearing waste from the body. Regular bowel movements are one of the primary ways the body eliminates toxins.
Quick Tip: Add fiber-rich foods like berries, chia seeds, and cooked veggies to their meals. If they struggle with regularity, consider adding gentle, food-based digestive support.
3. Encourage Movement: Physical activity is one of the simplest ways to support the lymphatic system, which doesn’t have a built-in pump like the heart. Movement keeps the lymph fluid moving and helps the body flush waste.
Quick Tip: Daily play, stretching, or jumping on a mini trampoline can make a big difference.
4. Reduce Chemical Exposures: The fewer toxins going in, the fewer the body has to process and eliminate. Small changes at home can have a big impact.
Quick Tip: Choose non-toxic cleaning products, swap plastic for glass containers, and consider using air purifiers to reduce indoor pollutants.
5. Track and Celebrate Small Wins: Healing can be a slow process, and it’s easy to get discouraged. Keep a simple journal of your child’s improvements, even the small ones, to remind yourself of the progress being made.
Quick Tip: Note changes in sleep quality, skin appearance, mood, and digestion to see the bigger picture over time.
Detoxing doesn’t have to be complicated!
