While “detox” may seem like just a popular trend to a lot of people, the act of detoxing should not be dismissed! According to DoctorOz.com, our stress levels, lifestyle choices and even the increasing levels of toxins in our environment can push our body’s to their limit. Here are some easy ways to rid your body of toxins:
1. Drink lemon water! According to marieclaire.com, the acid in lemons help the cleansing process. The citric acid helps penetrate and break down fat molecules!
2. Cut the sugar! Dr.Oz.com states that sugar causes damage to cell membranes due to inflammation. This allows toxins to sneak in!
3. Make licorice tea! Sweeter than sugar but with zero calories, licorice is an anti-inflammatory that kills bacteria.
4. Eat bitter foods! Foods like arugula, watercress and dandelion greens stimulate the liver and cleanse and detox the body!
5. Dry brush your skin! Dry brush your skin to remove dead cells that collect toxins. This helps renew skin cells and unclog pores!
6. Take a bladder wrack bath! Bladder wrack is a kind of seaweed. It expands in water and draws toxins from the body!
7. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day! According to spas.about.com, this will flush your system by replacing the water your body loses every day!
8. Stop drinking caffeine! Like sugar, it deregulates your body’s normal functions.
