If you're interested in removing toxins from your body naturally, you're in luck. The human body is a resilient organism designed to cleanse and renew itself. By creating the most optimal conditions and avoiding further exposure to toxins, you can ensure that existing toxins in your body will be removed as effectively as possible. Once you've adopted the necessary lifestyle changes, decide whether you want to do more to remove toxins from your body.
Instructions
1. Drink plenty of water and eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. These wholesome choices are absolutely essential for good health in general, but water and fiber (found in produce and whole grains) are particularly essential to a fully functional eliminatory system.
2. Choose organic foods as often as possible. "Conventional" or inorganic food is produced using fertilizers and pesticides that may be somewhat toxic, especially as they build up in the body over time. Eliminating these sources of contamination helps your body begin to remove toxins.
3. Avoid animal fats as much as possible, especially from inorganic sources. Animal fats accumulate and store toxins, so eating them can be the toxic equivalent of eating a very large amount of contaminated plant foods.
4. Maintain a healthy weight. Human fat stores toxins just as other animal fats do, so the more you reduce your own fat deposits, the more the toxins stored there may be eliminated.
5. Avoid trans fats, often listed as partially hydrogenated oils. These oils are not easily digested and can create a toxic environment in the body.
6. Filter your drinking water to avoid pollutants that may be present in the water supply.
7. Eat antioxidant-rich foods, such as dark-colored berries, dried beans, and green tea. Antioxidants help remove damaging free-radical compounds from the body.
