Maximizing your Detox
What’s up family, I’ve been on a health spree for the last 7-9 months. A lot of research went into what kind of work out to do, what type of foods to eat, how long to work out and so much more.
Here are 10 Natural Detox:
1. Eat the right foods
Studies show whole foods including cruciferous vegetables, berries, garlic, and spices like turmeric can help your body detoxify through various pathways. Paired with protein and quality fat creates an optimal food plan to detoxify and lose weight. Go for organic plant foods and the highest-quality animal foods whenever possible.
2. Support your gut
Improving your digestive system requires removing obstacles that create gut imbalances and other problems, but also incorporating the right gut-supporting foods and nutrients.
3. Reduce inflammation
Toxic foods contribute to inflammation, which leads to a heavier toxic load, stalling fat loss in the bargain. An anti-inflammatory diet includes wild-caught seafood, plant foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids including flaxseed and chia seeds, lots of non-starchy vegetables, and spices including turmeric.
4. Support your immune system
At a minimum, ensure you eat well, get good sleep, manage stress levels, practice good hygiene like washing your hands regularly, and get the right nutrients that support optimal immunity.
5. Supplement your natural detoxification program twice a year
While your cells constantly detoxify, consider doing a more formal detox as a spring (or fall) full-body cleanse.
6. Minimize exposure
Prevention is always your first line of both offense and defense. Avoid household cleaners, building materials, plastics, processed foods, and other places toxins linger.
7. Drink plenty of clean water
Hydration keeps your cellular machinery at peak performance, detoxing optimally along with its numerous other functions. Always aim for properly filtered water to avoid added toxins.
8. Sweat out your toxins
Among its benefits, exercise can help your body better excrete toxins and burn fat more effectively. Whether that involves hot yoga or high-intensity interval training, find a consistent workout plan that fits your preference and schedule.
9. Get good sleep
Sleep impairs your glymphatic system, causing toxin build-up. Without quality sleep in the right amounts on a consistent basis, your body cannot effectively detoxify.
10. Visit a chiropractor
Chiropractic adjustments impact the nervous system, which controls all metabolic pathways including detoxification pathways. Getting adjusted will free your body to optimally detoxify and perform at its peak level.
