Detoxification Through Lifestyle Changes
Our bodies need to detoxify in order to stay healthy. The major function of our liver and kidneys is to flush toxins out and work to detoxify the body.
Bombarded daily by toxins, our bodies are overburdened and are required to use additional resources to process them out. Our bodies cannot always meet these requirements. Over time, toxins that remain can cause illness and disease.
Our environment is riddled with toxins. It is impossible to avoid all toxic exposures. The foods we eat are toxic and so is the air that we breathe. Popular body products used externally on our skin can also be filled with toxins. There are ways that we can avoid certain toxic exposures and detox cleanse our bodies.
Processed junk foods contain additives, chemicals and preservatives that are harmful. Refined carbohydrates, refined sugars and hydrogenated oils are detrimental to our health. These foods are devoid of nutrition and are difficult for our bodies to process. When foods cannot move through our systems efficiently, they place a burden on our digestive systems and our vital organs. If you consume large amounts of these foods, you will find it challenging to commit to a detox diet.
As difficult as it may be, it is vital to good health that we nourish our bodies with the right foods. Making lifestyle changes can detoxify your body making it a detox machine. Assisting your body by eliminating the harmful elements in your diet and beauty products will greatly improve its ability to purge toxins from your body.
Be sure to read product labels. Examine what is contained in the products you use on your body and the ingredients in the products you eat.
Stay away from body products that contain methylisothiazolinone and sodium lauryl sulfates as these products have been found to cause nerve damage. Other options are available. More and more supermarkets and health food stores offer options that are more naturally derived.
Food labels should be looked at as well. Cooking your meals from scratch will eliminate undesirable ingredients.
Stick to the rule of 5 when you do purchase packaged products. A product that contains more than 5 ingredients should be avoided. Stay away from products that contain items that you cannot identify.
By avoiding the products that contain harmful elements, you will be enabling your body to be its own detox machine. Your good health depends on it!
