Your liver, kidneys, gut, lymph, skin, intestines, digestive system, and lungs all work to eliminate toxins, cleansing the blood.
While they operate on their own, it doesn't mean they don't need support.
Today, they are under more pressure due to the exposure of chemical toxins in our food, air, water, and personal care products.
Even what you do daily to yourself overloads your system, like alcohol, eating ultra-processed foods, and excess sugar.
Here is a detox support guide.
+ Drink hot water and lemon first thing in the morning
The presence of pectin helps improve metabolism and gut health, helping to boost digestion.
+ Eat 3 cups of sulfur-rich vegetables a day
They help your liver produce glutathione, the master antioxidant that supports the removal of toxins.
+ Eat 3 cups of dark leafy greens a day
They contain a plant chemical called chlorophyll, a potent antioxidant to help fight free radical damage to cells.
+ Add more fresh herbs to your meal
Parsley and coriander, for example, are high in antioxidants.
+ Add garlic to your cooking
It contains a chemical called allicin, which helps remove heavy metals from the body.
+ Eat for fibre, fibre with every meal
It supports liver detoxification and the elimination of toxins through healthy bowel movements.
+ Do more movement
Sweating is your body's natural way to clear toxins. A sauna can also reduce inflammation, which interferes with detoxification.
+ Avoid any processed food, sugar, dairy and alcohol
They are considered 'toxic' because of their harmful effects on the body, and can hinder detoxification
