Natural body detox

Posted by admin on May 27, 2009

Although we all wish we could retire and live in a nice house in the countryside, eating healthy food and breathing fresh air, it’s not something that is going to happen soon for any of us.

We have to work hard to earn it, and we have to take care of ourselves, to live long enough to enjoy it.

And if you plan to live that long, then you must get rid of all the toxins that your body has. That means the bad food you eat, the polluted air you breathe, the chemicals you ingest, and even the hormones you generate yourself when you stress out.

The best way of going about it is to follow a natural body detox treatment. A natural body detox treatment is a return to a natural, healthier body state that will allow you to feel better and live longer. There are other types of treatments out there, but unlike a natural body detox treatment, they often involve the use or chemicals, which you want to avoid.

Any natural body detox treatment involves drinking a lot of water. This is because your body needs water to function and to eliminate toxins via the urinary system or the sweating system. In addition, drinking water will help you in other ways, for example, you will have more resistance, and your skin will look healthier.

You should also eat a more balanced diet. Since a lot of the toxins enter through what you eat, it’s only logical that you should pay attention on what you put in your mouth. A natural body detox diet will require fruits and vegetables. And while meat is still ok, it shouldn’t be eaten daily, specially red meat.

Another element that has to be present in any natural body detox treatment is exercise. Try to do at least 30 minutes of exercise everyday. It will give you many benefits, like a better circulation, better breathing, and a better physical condition. It also will let you transform that fat into muscle, and you will be able to wear those clothes that are too tight for you right now. It might be hard at first, but you have to be patient and not desperate easily. Results will take a few weeks to be seen or noticed.

Finally, stay away from substances that are toxic to your system, like alcohol and smoking. There are several reasons why they are the first things to be forbidden by natural body detox specialists, and I don’t have to remind you of them.

Herbal Detox

A lot of women have stopped smoking and drinking alcohol in an effort to reduce the level of toxins in their bodies. While this helps greatly (specially not smoking) that doesn’t mean that their bodies are clear of toxins.

  • First of all, if you live in a big city, then you are breathing air that has smoke particles that come from the exhaust of cars and industries.
  • Second, most of the water that we drink comes from treated sources, and sometimes there are still pollution particles in it.
  • Third, the foods we eat in cities aren’t as fresh as the ones in the countryside. And a lot of times, chemicals are added to them, like colorants and preservatives.
  • Fourth, when we stress, we add our own toxins to the mix. These are meant to stimulate our bodies for action, but since the action never happens, then we just secret them and keep them.

Because of this a lot of people have decided to go under detox programs or diets from once in a while to help them get rid of toxins in their bodies. Among these, herbal detox treatments are recently coming to fashion. They complement regular detox treatments of diets by adding organic teas or pills that will help clean our bodies. Because there are several organs involved in the detoxification process of our body, it’s important when taking a herbal detox treatment to ask what it is exactly what it does.

The most important (albeit not the only one) organ in the body’s natural detoxification process is the liver. Its primary function is to break down toxic elements into simpler ones that can be eliminated from the body. An herbal detox treatment for the liver should aim at easing its workload. Common herbal detox ingredients include dandelion, liverwort, horsetail, parsley, birch leaves, black cohosh, gentian, goldenrod, chamomile, angelica, and of course, milk thistle.

The kidneys are also important organs for getting rid of toxins. They filter toxins and waste that has been processed by the liver and eliminate it from our systems through urine. Again, there are herbal detox treatments that are aimed at improving their performance. Common herbal detox ingredients for the kidneys are juniper berries, cedar berries, and uva ursi. Dandelion and parsley help both the kidneys and the liver.

Finally, the lungs also contribute to the elimination of carbon dioxide through respiration, and they must be included in any herbal detox treatment. Common herbal detox ingredients for the lungs are slippery elm, senega, and mullein.

Detox Patches

Have you felt tired lately without a good reason? Or maybe you don’t feel like working or engaging in an activity that you usually like. Yet you don’t have any symptom of a disease, like a rash, or fever.

In that case, your body is probably full of toxins that keep you from performing at full. I suggest you try detox patches as a solution. I don’t do drugs or smoke, why do I have toxins?

Modern life is not a natural one. We don’t get as much sun or do as much exercise as we should, which would eliminate toxins naturally. We eat food that our bodies can’t process, since we tend to live sedentary lives and thus there’s no need for our metabolism to burn that extra fat.

In addition, there are chemicals like additives and colorants in our food and drink. And of course, cars and buses emit air pollution particles that we breathe everyday.

Isn’t exercise a better alternative than detox patches?

The best solution of course would be to go to the gym everyday and work out an hour or two in order to sweat off all the toxins in your body. But let’s face it, life isn’t as easy. With work, families, and traffic to deal with, we barely have time for dinner (and a precooked one at that). Even if we manage somehow to have some free time, we want to rest, or better yet, spend some quality time with our spouses or children.

Why should I try detox patches?

Detox patches have several advantages over other products. Perhaps the most important one is that detox patches work while you sleep. You attach them to your feet and leave them on all night. Detox patches take advantage of the natural sweating system of your body, enhanced by their formula. The result is that they absorb the toxins of your body while you sleep, so when you wake up, you feel much better.

Are detox patches expensive?

It depends where you get them, some places sell them at very high prices and some sell them quite cheap. There isn’t really a difference in quality, so get the best deal you can. In fact, detox patches can be cheap enough that you can get them just to try them out. I recommend a minimum of two weeks, but you should see results before that time. In the worst of cases, you can always stop using them, and no harm would have been done, as detox patches aren’t toxic.
