We all have heard about the health benefits of detoxification. How following a specific diet or taking
detoxing  supplements can help your body clear itself from accumulated toxins.In this article we will
go into details on six facts-based ways that you can implement in your life and rejuvenate your body.

The detoxing system of your body. 
Your body has a sophisticated system of eliminating toxins from your body. This process involves your
liver, kidneys, lungs, your digestive system and even your skin. By toxins we mean heavy metals,
synthetic chemicals and processed food. When your body gets rid of all those toxins and does it
effectively, it positively affects your health. When your body struggles with cleansing itself then over
time it will have an effect on your health.So how to help the body detox?


  1. Cut Alcohol
Alcohol is the enemy of detox. Not only it lowers your productivity but also can damage your
liver over time. Almost 100% of alcohol is metabolized in the liver. If your liver is not functioning
properly your detoxing system is pretty much out of the window.One drink per day for woman
and two drinks per day for man is set to be acceptable by health professionals for the sake of
the positive effect that light drinking has on heart.But never exceed that limit. It is much better
to do cardio exercises for the heart and abstain from alcohol
entirely. By doing so you will have a  healthy heart and healthy liver.
  1. Get enough sleep.


Sleeping your eight hours per day is  very important for your health in general as well as
your body’s detoxing system.

As you sleep your  brain goes into the stage of reorganization. This is also the time for your
brain to recharge itself and also  start removing accumulated toxins from your body.
Make sure you get enough sleep during the night. If you have difficulty sleeping take a walk in
the evening and turn all your devices at least one hour before sleeping. This will harmonize
  you and prepare you for a good night's sleep. 

  1. Drink more water.
Drinking plenty of water is very important for your health. It regulates the temperature of your
body,  helps with digestion, helps to detoxify your body and serves as a lubricant for your
joints.
Health professionals recommended water intake is about 3.7 liters for men and 2.7 for
women. However based on your activity level your diet you may need more or less.

  1. Cut the intake of sugars and processed foods
It goes without saying that processed foods and sugar are the roots of so many issues with
health.High consumption of processed foods and sugar are linked to many diseases such as
obesity, diabetes, heart disease and even cancer.These diseases harm your organs such as
your liver and kidneys and as we already know those are against play a very important role
and your detoxification system.

Limit consumption of junk food. Replace junk food with healthier options. Include fresh fruits
and vegetables in your diet. 

5.Use less salt
 When your body properly detoxifies eyes it also gets rid of excess water. If you consume too much
salt in your diet it will make your body retain excess fluid especially if you have a disease that affects
your liver or your kidneys. Retention of excess fluid can also happen if you do not drink enough water.
 So make sure you consume enough water and you cut on your salt consumption.
Consuming more water when you actually have excess fluid in your body may seem counterintuitive
but if you drink not enough water and you use a lot of salt in your diet that is what you need to do to 
bring balance  to  your system.

6 Get active

Exercise regularly!  Regardless of your shape, you should exercise regularly as it reduces the risk
of many conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and many others. Exercising also is a
great tool for helping you reduce inflammation.  Some inflammation is actually necessary for
recovering from infections and body's ability to heal wounds. Too much information however
weakens your body. By reducing inflammation through exercise you help your body to detoxify and
function properly.
