Detoxification is a process in which the body throws out the toxins out of the body through physiological processes. Toxins are any substance that can be poisonous or cause negative health effects. Toxin refers to all the metals, chemicals, pollutants, artificial food ingredients, pesticides, and poisons that cause the body harm.

The best ways to detoxify are really simple and easily adaptable in daily lives. Some of those healthy tips are:

Eat Whole foods

Look for whole foods free of preservatives, conservatives, and coloring agents. If available, choose chemical-free and organic varieties of pulses, rice or any other grain.

Eat fibre rich foods

Eat plenty of fibre, including brown rice and organically grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Beets, radishes, gaanth gobhi, cabbage, broccoli are excellent detoxifying foods. A juice diet is also helpful and is centered around consuming freshly-made fruit and vegetable juice—preferably organic.

Find your toxic triggers

Long before burden of human-made chemicals has been added to our bodies, toxic buildup could occur from eating too many of the foods that don’t work for you. So, find out with a controlled diet pattern that what kind of food shall suit your body.

Water is the best

Water is possibly the most valuable tool for detoxifying your body. The body’s most basic functions require water. Your body needs water to produce saliva, help with perspiration and remove waste. Drink at least two quarters of water a day.

Increase physical work

Increasing physical work is to increase the physical activity of your body. The more activity will help you sweat and sweating helps release toxins through your skin. The muscles also release hormones and chemicals which relax the body and help in feeling light and clear.

Breathe clean

Try to keep the area around you clean and without any dust and pollutants. Smoke, fumes, pet dander, mold, mildew, and microorganisms can make the air in your home more toxic than the air outside. Use green plants around the houses especially the ones which absorb the toxins from air.

Yoga

Yoga is one the most primitive methods, it’s benefits are known to everyone. So, try adapting a simple yoga regime in your daily routine. Some breathing and meditation asanas can do wonders and really positively affect you.

Fasting

Another primitive still really effective mode of detox, by fasting the digestive system gets rest. Choose fasting techniques where heavy deep-fried food is substituted by intake of healthy fluids .

Vitamin C

Take vitamin C, which helps the body produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives away toxins. You can have a glass of nimbu pani every day. Increase lemon and citrus fruits in diet.

Stay Calm

Listen to good music, go for a holiday, go for shopping – basically do whatever makes you happy and relaxed. The happier you stay the more effective is the detoxification.

Follow these simple steps and you will feel the change.
