Ever wonder why detox has become a popular word?

Because your body is not a garbage bin and it requires regular cleaning (detoxification) to function normally and effectively for a longer period.

Detoxification basically means eating foods or ingredients, or following a diet that aids your body to get rid of stored toxins, thereby boosting the functionality of your internal organs.

Whole-body detox flushes out the toxins or impurities from your liver and promotes weight loss.

Our body follows a sophisticated mechanism and is quite well designed to detox and cleanse your liver naturally without relying on a special ingredient or store-bought supplements. Your other organs, such as the kidneys, digestive system, skin, and lungs also follow a methodical process to eliminate waste from your body.

While this is correct, these vital organs may need regular fuel to boost their natural detoxification system and remove bodily impurities acquired from external stimuli like environmental pollution and extreme feasting of junk foods, sugary foods, carbs, and refined and preserved foods.

Effective Ways Detox your Body Naturally and Help Your Liver

The liver excellently cleanses your body’s stored toxins at regular intervals. But if your liver is not functioning properly, it may not do its work accurately.

Therefore, you need to do certain things to reactivate its natural detoxification system. Here’s provided 5 effective ways to detoxify your body at home naturally:

1.     Limit Having Alcohol to Four Drinks A Week

Alcohol is metabolized into a cancer-causing toxin, acetaldehyde by the liver. The liver usually recognizes the toxin, converts it into a harmless component, acetate, and later removes it from the body.

But if you consume alcohol excessively, it can damage your liver’s ability to metabolize alcohol and filter waste, thereby causing inflammation, fat buildup, and liver scarring.

2.     Drink Enough Water Plus Two More

Water is the true elixir of life. Apart from quenching thirst, water regulates the body’s temperature, aids in digestion, clears skin problems, removes waste products, stimulates hormones, and ultimately helps cells breakdown the nutrients in our body effectively.

In order to help vitals function optimally, your body’s cells need to be continuously repaired. The repair process releases waste, such as carbon dioxide and urea.

Water acts as the transportation system in discarding these wastes through urination, sweating, excretion, and breathing. Daily intake of water shouldn’t be anything lesser than 2.7 liters (for women) and 3.7 liters (for men).

3.     Cut Down Sugar, Salt, and Processed Foods

Consuming an excess amount of salt can retain bodily fluids, which can affect your kidney and liver, and cause bloating. On the other hand, processed foods and sugar are the root cause of hundreds of health issues, right from simple acne to complex cardiac arrest.

High consumption of these three is also linked to obesity and chronic health conditions like, diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Salt, sugar and processed foods, when had in excess, could hinder the normal functioning of vital organs, causing them to retire soon. Reduce having junk, eat home-cooked food, and make healthier lifestyle choices.

4.     Eat Foods Rich in Anti-Oxidants

Eating the right foods is another great way to remove toxins from the body in a natural way. Your cells fight against a number of games, such as asthma, dementia, heart diseases, liver problems, and certain types of cancer.

Excess alcohol consumption, poor diet, exposure to environmental pollutants, and tobacco ingestion can produce excessive free radicals (oxidative stress), which can damage your cells. Antioxidant-rich foods, however, protects your cells from damages caused by free radicals.

5.     Consume Pre and Probiotics

Probiotics are good bacteria present in our gut that fight various digestive issues, boost our immune system, and aids in healthy hormone production. Your gut also has bad bacteria, which the probiotics fight day in and day out.

However, the good bacteria’s quantity can reduce due to the use of antibiotics, and following an unhealthy lifestyle and poor hygiene.

This can weaken your immune system and impair your detoxification system. Eating foods rich in prebiotics (garlic, onions, tomatoes, asparagus, and oats) can fuel the growth of good bacteria and promote efficient detoxification.

6.     Exercise and Exert

Regardless of how slim or overweight you are, regular exercising (as simple as a 30-minute walk to as complex as 1 hour HIIT) can reduce the risks of many health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, obesity, cholesterol and improve your standard of living. Since regular exercising also reduces inflammation, this potentially boosts the detoxification system and fights diseases.

7.     Eat Clean and Fresh

Everything ultimately boils down to one thing – the food you eat. The most primary cause of toxins accumulation is feeding your body with bad foods, such as deep-fried products, preserved foods, sugary items, high carb, and refined foods.

If you want your body to switch into the detoxification mode at regular intervals, swap complex carbs, fiber, and nutrient-packed foods with low quality, harmful foods.

You do not need artificial products or supplements to detox your body. Channel your organs by eating right and living right and help remove waste and harmful substances.
