Some Helpful Facts About Various Detoxification Routines

By Aaron Alston


Over the holidays it is common to overindulge. When New Years comes around many people resolve to get into shape and lose weight. When searching for help and inspiration online some of the most often used words are related to detoxifying and cleansing away toxins and impurities from our bodies. In this age of information, we also expect the information we need to help us fix our problems to be found quickly and easily.

It would be very easy if there was a quick fix to get into shape. Being healthy takes time and dedication though. While it does require effort, being fit does not need to cost a lot, have you drink or eat disgusting products, or be hungry all of the time. Starving yourself actually will have the opposite effect, because your metabolism will slow down.

It is not necessary to buy any of the products sold on the market to cleanse or detox. There is not a created product that can compare to what nature already provides. Fruits and vegetables can naturally and correctly help you rid yourself or toxins and impurities. If you are not used to fiber though, add it slowly to your diet.

If you are serious about being healthy it is important to drink enough water. Water is a major factor in detoxification. Citrus fruit is also very useful. When adding citrus to your diet, be sure to give your body enough time to adjust to the change.

Smoothies can be a great way to get the nutrition and cleansing ingredients you want in your diet. Flax and fiber are easily added and good for you as well. Flax is a great anti-oxidant and has omega-3 fatty acids.

When you are eating, take your time, chew your food completely and eat slowly. If you can eat in a calm and relaxing place, this will help too. Switching from coffee to green tea is a good idea.

In the evening try a chamomile tea to calm, and a dandelion tea in the afternoon to cleanse. Eating a salad is good too if you use lettuce that is good for you, meaning no iceberg lettuce. Balsamic, or any olive oil based dressing is a good choice, and you can add walnuts to your salad for protein.

Detoxifying your body is done continuously. There isn't a quick fix cure all. Eating good foods and eliminating the things you do not need, such as refined sugars and carbohydrates, is the way to go. You can save your money buy not buying all of the quick fix items, and don't do things that seem odd. Nutrient rich food is all your body truly needs to detoxify.
