How to Achieve Total Detox
Sleep Detoxification
Research studies have supported our brain’s role in detoxification through its waste management system. When we are asleep, this system gets activated, which is referred in scientific term as the glymphatic system.
This system facilitates pumping of cerebral spinal fluid through brain’s tissues, which then pushes harmful waste back to our body’s circulatory system. From then, the liver takes on to promote toxin excretion as its routine functions.
When we deprive our body of adequate sleep, it hampers the functions of the glymphatic system and leads to toxin build up. A relaxing sleep at night ensures optimum functioning of the brain to support our body’s detoxification process.
Alcohol Curb
Our liver metabolises around 90% of total alcohol consumption. Liver enzymes convert alcohol to acetaldehyde through metabolism. Acetaldehyde is a known cancer causing chemical. Liver identifies acetaldehyde as a harmful toxin and assists in its excretion from body.
Excessive alcohol consumption causes liver inflammation along with fat build up. It affects liver’s toxin excretion capabilities, which then leads to toxin build up such as acetaldehyde. Limiting alcohol consumption is a smart and effective way to keep your body toxin free.
Sweat Out Toxins
Did you know that our skin is capable of flushing out metallic toxins like lead, mercury and arsenic? Exercise is a great way to get rid of toxins through sweating. You do not necessarily need to join Gym classes. Start with a mild-moderate workout sessions including stretching, jogging, pushups, crunches, etc. and then move your way up.
Hydration for Health
A state of ideal hydration has been associated with total body detox. As mentioned earlier, the liver and the brain facilitate toxin excretion. However, it is water that serves as a transportation medium for these toxins and other types of waste. Ensure that you are drinking at least 2 litres or 8 (8-ounce each) glasses of water every day to maintain a state of optimum hydration.
Clean Eating
The concept of clean eating is not news to most of us. Clean eating has become a way of life to stay healthy and most importantly for natural detox. Get rid of harmful processed foods including commercial fried foods, fast foods, refined snacks, sugar based drinks, fruit juices and beverages. Excessive sugar, salt and oil leads to toxin build up. Incorporate clean eating by consuming more wholesome fruits, fresh vegetables, healthy greens and other healthy organic foods.
Let’s detoxify to live to your fullest. Keep your body disease free as well as toxin free to accomplish total body detox.
