Easy Ways
To Detoxify and Cleanse Your Body
by Lydia Quinn
Whether you
are trying to cleanse and detoxify your body from the effects of
that big meal you ate, looking to make sure you pass your next drug
test or if you simply want to feel better and lose some weight,
there are many easy ways to cleanse and detoxify your body from the
effects of food, drugs, drinking, smoking, stress and your
environment. Here are some tips:
Drink Water
Pure water is
one of the best ways to cleanse your body and your system. Simply
drink more water everyday, at least the typical 8 glasses a day. Tea
can be substituted for water if you want more flavor, but try to
avoid adding any sweetener or milk to it, if possible. If you must
add something to your water or tea for flavor, consider adding some
fresh lemon juice. Lemon juice is also a great detoxifying agent and
can be a nice change from plain water.
Increase Your
Fiber Intake
Get plenty of
whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables. While this may seem
obvious, many people get precious little fiber in their diet, and
simply adding much more fiber to their diet can help your digestive
system, cleanse your bowels and help you lose excess weight
naturally. Great sources of fiber include prunes, many dried fruits,
whole grain breads, whole grain pastas, oatmeal, beans, lentils and
nuts.
Get More Fruit
While fruit is
a generally good source of fiber, certain fruits have a great deal
more power where cleansing and detoxifying is concerned. Berries,
especially blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries,
are great sources of antioxidants and phytochemicals, which have
been shown to fight cancer, heart disease and other conditions.
Berries are also high in vitamins, fiber and water, which makes them
great options for anyone looking to cleanse and detoxify their body.
Cranberries, specifically cranberry juice, is also an excellent way
to cleanse your body. Cranberry juice has been shown to cleanse your
kidneys and has long been known as a cure for bladder infections.
Liquid Diet
A more drastic
way to cleanse your body is by going on a liquid diet. There are
detox kits available that include specially formulated teas that can
help to flush and cleanse the kidneys and the liver. In addition,
pure fruit and vegetable juices can also be used on a liquid diet.
Apple Cider
Vinegar
Many people
find that supplementing their diet with apple cider vinegar can
increase energy and help to suppress the appetite. You can add a
couple ounces of apple cider vinegar to water once or twice a day;
you may also stir in a bit of honey to make it more palatable. Apple
cider vinegar has also been shown to lower your blood sugar, be a
curative for many digestive issues, good for your skin and can help
to alleviate certain allergies.
Vitamins &
Herbal Supplements
There are many
supplements available that include cleansing and detoxifying
vitamins and herbs. Excellent herbs for cleansing include dandelion,
milk thistle, burdock root, red clover blossoms, cayenne and ginger
root. Vitamins and minerals that are excellent for cleansing include
Vitamin C, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Choline.
However you
choose to cleanse and detoxify your body, just be sure you pick a
method that will work with your schedule and your system.
